Page 12: Assembly
WARNING: A 10 in. (254 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 guards, while thicker blades will prevent the blade bolt from securing the blade on the spindle. -
Page 13: Dust Bag
DUST BAG See Figure 12. A dust bag is provided for use on your miter saw. It fits over the exhaust port on the upper blade guard. To install it, remove dust guide from exhaust port. Then, squeeze the two metal clips to open the mouth of the bag and slide it on the exhaust port. -
Page 14: Table Extensions
The stop block is included with the Table extensions and is useful as a stop for making repetitive cuts to the same length. It can be installed on either side of the saw base: Slide the stop block on the back arm of either table extension, then insert the table extensions into the saw base. -
Page 15: Work Clamp (Optional)
This is very helpful when cutting miters. Your Ryobi miter saw has been adjusted at the factory for making very accurate cuts. However, some of the compo- nents might have been jarred out of alignment during ship- ping. -
Page 16: Squaring The Miter Table To The Fence
Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury. Push down on the saw arm and pull out the lock pin to release the saw arm. See Figure 3. Raise saw arm to its full raised position. -
Page 17: Squaring The Saw Blade To The Fence
If saw is mounted to a workbench, it must be unmounted to square the saw blade to the fence. Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock pin to hold the saw arm in transport position. See Figure 3. -
Page 18: Operation
NOTE: The crosscut blade provided is fine for most wood cutting operations, but for fine joinery cuts or cutting plastic, use one of the accessory blades available from your Ryobi dealer. WARNING: Before starting any cutting operation, clamp or bolt your miter saw to a workbench. -
Page 19: Support Long Workpieces
Long workpieces need extra supports. Supports should be placed along the workpiece so it does not sag. The support should let the workpiece lay flat on the base of the saw and work table during the cutting operation. Use the work clamp or a C-clamp to secure the workpiece. -
Page 20: Cutting Warped Material
CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL See Figures 27 and 28. When cutting warped material, always make sure it is positioned on the miter table with the convex side against the fence as shown in figure 27. If the warped material is positioned the wrong way as shown in figure 28, it will pinch the blade near the completion of the cut. -

Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. -
