Depth Stop - Ryobi ECO-2435 Owner's Operation Manual

ADJUSTMENTS
Install socket head bolt through lock washer and flat
washer into machine base.
Check and adjust fence to desired cutting angle.
Using the 8 mm hex key supplied, securely tighten socket
head bolts. Return hex key to its storage area in base.
This position is good for cutting thin and wide pieces of
stock, such as flat or angled stock.
To increase the height of cut of your cut-off machine,
follow the above procedure except place the rear socket
head bolt in the middle threaded hole and the front socket
head bolt in the front threaded hole.
Check and adjust fence to desired cutting angle.
Using the 8 mm hex key supplied, securely tighten socket
head bolts.
This position is good for cutting tall and thick pieces of
stock, such as square or tube stock.
LOCK LEVER (Fig. 8-9)
The lock lever engages the vise clamp to be used along with
the fence to provide a vise for securing the workpiece to be cut.
It also allows you to open and close the vise quickly without
repetitive turning of the vise crank handle.
USING THE QUICK LOCK-RELEASE LEVER
AND VISE CLAMP (Fig. 8-9)
To loosen:
Unplug your cut-off machine.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug cut-off machine could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious personal injury.
Release tension on the vise clamp by rotating the vise
crank handle 1/2 to 1 turn counterclockwise.
Lift up the quick lock-release lever as shown in figure 9
and pull back on vise crank handle to slide open the vise.
To tighten:
Unplug your cut-off machine.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug cut-off machine could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious personal injury.
Push the vise crank handle forward to slide the vise clamp
against the workpiece.
Rotate the lock lever forward and push down as shown
in figure 10 to engage its threads with the vise screw.
Rotate the vise crank handle clockwise to tighten the vise
clamp against the workpiece.

DEPTH STOP

The depth stop limits the wheel's downward travel. It
allows the wheel to go below the machine base enough
to maintain full cutting capacities.
The adjustable depth stop is a bolt threaded into the base of
the machine at the rear. To adjust the depth stop use the
8 mm hex key supplied to raise or lower the depth stop bolt.
The depth stop is factory set to provide maximum cutting
capacity for the 356mm (14") abrasive wheel provided
with your cut-off machine.
When the diametre of the wheel has been reduced due to
wear, it may be necessary to adjust the depth stop to provide
maximum cutting capacity. When a new abrasive wheel is
installed, it is necessary to check the clearance of the wheel
to the machine base support.
DEPTH STOP ADJUSTMENTS (Fig. 10)
Unplug your cut-off machine.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug cut-off machine could result in acci-
dental starting causing possible serious personal injury.
Loosen the depth stop bolt (36) that is against the machine
base.
The depth stop is lowered (37) by turning the depth stop bolt
clockwise and raised by turning the bolt counterclockwise.
By pressing down on the machine arm, lower the wheel
and check clearance and maximum cutting distance
(distance from adjustable stationary vise where wheel
enters) to front of machine base slot.
Adjust if necessary.
CAUTION:
Do not start your abrasive cut-off machine without
checking for interference between the wheel and the
machine base support. Damage may result to the wheel
if it strikes the machine base support during operation of
the machine.
Tighten the depth stop bolt with the 8 mm hex key
provided.
WARNING:
Cutting steel will cause sparks. Do not operate in the
presence of combustible or flammable materials. Failure
to heed this warning could result in a fire or serious per-
sonal injury.
