WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical Ryobi replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during power tool operation or when blowing
dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.

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 15.
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.
