Ryobi P550 Operator's Manual page 17

WARNING:
Make sure the spindle lock button is not engaged
before reconnecting saw into power source. Never
engage spindle lock button when blade is rotating.
NOTE: Many of the illustrations in this manual show only
portions of the compound miter saw. This is intentional so that
we can clearly show points being made in the illustrations.
Never operate the saw without all guards securely in
place and in good operating condition.
SQUARING THE MITER TABLE TO THE
FENCE
See Figures 17 - 20.
n Remove the battery pack from the tool.
n Push down on the saw arm and pull out the lock pin to
release the saw arm.
n Raise saw arm to its full raised position.
n Lift the miter table clamp.
n Rotate the miter table until the pointer is positioned at 0°.
n Push the miter table clamp back down.
n Lay a framing square flat on the miter table. Place one
leg of the square against the fence. Place the other leg of
the square beside the zero clearance throat plate in the
miter table. The edge of the square and the zero clear-
ance throat plate in the miter table should be parallel as
shown in figure 17.
n If the edge of the framing square and the zero clearance
throat plate in the miter table are not parallel as shown
in figures 18 and 19, adjustments are needed.
n Using the 6 mm hex key, loosen the socket head screws
securing the fence. See Figure 20. Adjust the fence left
or right until the framing square and throat plate are
parallel.
n Retighten the screws securely and recheck the fence-to-
table alignment.
