Maintenance - Ryobi A18MS01 Operator's Manual

WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible
serious injury.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.
BRACKET ADJUSTMENT SCREW
See Figure 12.
Mounting brackets are designed to fit snugly over the stand
rails. With the locking levers in the lowered (locked) position,
you should not be able to remove the saw and bracket as-
sembly from the rails. If the saw and bracket assembly can
be removed from the rails when the levers are locked, the
bracket adjustment screws need to be tightened. If the saw
and bracket assembly will not fit over both rails, the bracket
adjustment screws needs to be loosened.
NOTE: The saw should be removed from the mounting
brackets before attempting to tighten or loosen the bracket
adjustment screws.

MAINTENANCE

To adjust:
 Use a wrench to slightly loosen the nut.
 Turn the screw with a phillips screwdriver. Rotate clock-
wise if the bracket assembly needs to be tightened or
counterclockwise if the assembly needs to be loos-
ened.
 Install the bracket on the miter stand rails and lower the
locking lever to check the adjustment.
 When the correct position is achieved, wrench tighten
the nut to secure.
 Repeat with the second mounting bracket.
