Setting The Table For Horizontal Or Bevel Cutting - Ryobi SC180VS Operator's Manual

SETTING THE TABLE FOR HORIZONTAL OR
BEVEL CUTTING
See Figures 8, 9 and 10.
WARNING:
Failure to turn the saw off and unplug the saw from the
power source could result in accidental starting causing
possible serious injury.
A bevel scale is located under the saw table as a convenient
guide for setting the approximate saw table angle for bevel
cutting. When greater precision is required, make practice
cuts on scrap material and adjust the saw table as necessary
for your requirements.
Note: When cutting at angles, the drop foot should be tilted
so it is parallel to the saw table and rests flat against the
workpiece. To tilt the drop foot, loosen phillips screw, tilt drop
foot to the proper angle, then retighten screw.
I Loosen the table lock knob and push down on the right
side of the table. If the table stop at 0°, the zero degree
stop is properly set. If the table stops somewhere other
than zero, then adjust the zero degree stop.
I To access the zero degree stop, loosen the table lock
knob, and tilt the table with the right side all the way down.
Just under the front of the saw table is the zero degree
stop. See Figure 9. Loosen the hex nut and rotate the hex
bolt to raise or lower the bolt as needed to adjust the zero
degree stop. Be sure to check to see that the table is
square to the blade.
Now, by returning the table to the zero position, the zero
degree stop provides a quick reference to the preset posi-
tion.

The zero stop assembly can be rotated to the left and down
out of the way and the table can be angled up to 12˚ to the
left. See Figure 10.
Note: Make sure the zero degree stop is rotated all the way
down or it will contact the blade storage drawer as you angle
to the left.
