To Adjust The Blade Depth; To Adjust The Blade Angle; To Set The Scale To The Blade - Ryobi BT3100K Owner's Operation Manual

TO ADJUST THE BLADE DEPTH

The blade depth should be set so that the outer points of the
blade are higher than the workpiece by approximately 3mm
to 6mm but the lowest points (gullets) are below the top
surface. See Figure 31.
WARNING:
Unplug the saw and make sure the blade guard assembly
is installed and working properly to avoid serious personal
injury.
■ Push the bevel locking lever to the left for elevation mode.
■ Raise the blade by turning the blade adjusting handle
clockwise or lower it by turning the handle
counterclockwise.

TO ADJUST THE BLADE ANGLE

See Figure 32.
WARNING:
Unplug the saw and make sure the blade guard assembly
is installed and working properly to avoid serious personal
injury.
■ Unlock the bevel locking lever.
■ Push the bevel locking lever to the right for angle mode.
■ Angle the blade by turning the blade adjusting handle until
the bevel indicator shows the correct angle.
■ Return the bevel locking lever securely to the left to lock
the angle, while holding the blade adjusting handle in
place.

TO SET THE SCALE TO THE BLADE

The scale is usable from 0-610mm to the right side of the blade
and 0-533mm. on the left side of the blade. The operator can
select any desired dimension within those ranges. Use the
following steps to set the scale to the blade and scale
indicator. Begin with the blade at a zero angle (straight up).
See Figure 33.
■ Loosen the rip fence by raising the locking handle.
■ Using a framing square, set the rip fence 51mm from the
blade tip edge.
■ Loosen both front and rear rails by lifting the front and rear
rail clamps. See Figure 32.
■ Adjust the front rail until the 51mm mark is placed at the
scale indicator. Align the rear rail to the front rail.
■ Tighten the rails and check the dimension and the rip
fence in both directions.
WARNING:
Blades coast after turn off. Possible serious injury can
occur if hands come in contact with blade.
