Adjustments - Ryobi TSS103 Operator's Manual

WARNING:
Before performing any adjustment, make sure the tool is
unplugged from the power supply. Failure to heed this
warning could result in serious personal injury.
The compound miter saw has been adjusted at the factory
for making accurate cuts. However, some of the components
might have been jarred out of alignment during shipping. Also,
over a period of time, readjustment will probably become
necessary due to wear. After unpacking the saw, check the
following adjustments before you begin using saw. Make any
readjustments that are necessary and periodically check the
parts alignment to make sure that the saw is cutting accurately.
PIVOT ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE: These adjustments were made at the factory and
normally do not require readjustment.
TRAVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT
 The saw arm should rise completely to the up position
by itself.
 If the saw arm does not raise by itself or if there is play
in the pivot joints, have saw repaired at your nearest
AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.
TO ADJUST THE BEVEL PIVOT
 The compound miter saw should bevel easily by loosening
the bevel lock knob and tilting the saw.
 If movement is tight or if there is play in the pivot, have
saw repaired at your nearest AUTHORIZED SERVICE
CENTER.

To adjust:
 Unplug the saw.
 Loosen the bevel lock knob by turning the knob counter-
clockwise.
 Square the blade to the miter table as described in the
Assembly section of this manual.
 If the blade is out of square, secure the lock nut in place
and loosen or tighten the positive stop adjustment screw
using the blade wrench provided.
 Retighten bevel lock knob. Recheck blade-to-table align-
ment.
NOTE: The above procedure can be used to check blade
squareness of the saw blade to the miter table at both 0°
and 45° angles.
Your saw has several scale indicators. After squaring adjust-
ments have been made, it may be necessary to loosen the
indicator screws and reset them to zero. See Figures 22 - 23.
