  • Page 5: Important Safety Instructions For Charger

    ■ Maintain a firm grip on the saw and position your body and arm in a way that allows you to resist KICK- BACK forces. KICKBACK forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.

    Refer to "Charging Your Battery Pack" for normal recharging of batteries. If the charger does not charge your battery pack under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger to your nearest Ryobi Authorized Service Center for electrical check.

  • Page 10 WARNING: A 5-1/2 in. (140 mm) blade is the maximum blade capacity of your saw. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow outer blade washer to engage with the flats on the spindle. Larger blades will come in contact with the blade guard, while thicker blades will prevent blade screw from securing blade on spindle.
  • Page 11 NOTE: The guard is operating correctly when it moves freely and readily returns to the closed position. If for any reason your lower blade guard does not close freely, take it to the nearest Ryobi authorized service center for service before using. Page 11...
  • Page 12 See Figure 8. The best guard against kickback is to avoid dangerous practices. Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly and the saw is driven back towards you. Blade stalling is caused by any action which pinches the blade in the wood.
  • Page 13 ■ When making a cut use steady, even pressure. Never force cuts. ■ Do not cut warped or wet lumber. ■ Always hold your saw firmly with both hands and keep your body in a balanced position so as to resist the forces of kickback should it occur.
  • Page 14 After you complete your cut release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a complete stop. Do not remove your saw from workpiece while the blade is moving. WARNING: To make sawing easier and safer, always maintain proper control of your saw.
  • Page 15 TO CROSS CUT OR RIP CUT When making a cross cut or rip cut, align your line of cut with the outer blade guide notch on the saw base as shown in figure 17. Since blade thicknesses vary, always make a trial cut in scrap material along a guideline to determine how much, if any, the guideline must be offset to produce an accurate cut.
  • Page 16 TO BEVEL CUT The angle of cut of your saw may be adjusted to any desired setting between zero and 50°. NOTE: When making cuts at 50°, blade should be set at full depth of cut. When making 45° bevel cuts, there is a notch in the saw base to help you line up the blade with the line of cut.
  • Page 17 POSITIVE 0 BEVEL STOP See Figure 21. Your saw has a positive 0° bevel stop, that has been factory adjusted to assure 0° angle of your saw blade when making 90° cuts. However, misalignment can occur during shipping. TO CHECK ■...

    OPTIONAL RIP GUIDE (EDGE GUIDE) See Figure 23. Use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts with your saw. An optional rip guide with a five inch scale is available or you can make an efficient rip guide by clamping a straight edge to your workpiece.
