It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current).
WARNING: A 10 in. (254 mm) blade is the maximum blade capacity of your saw. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow outer blade washer to engage with the flats on the spindle. Larger blades will come in contact with the blade guards, while thicker blades will prevent the blade bolt from securing the blade on the spindle.

Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury. Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock pin to hold the saw arm in transport position. Loosen miter lock handle approximately one-half turn.
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 RYOBI AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.
TO CROSSCUT WITH YOUR MITER SAW: Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height. Loosen the miter lock handle. Rotate the miter lock handle approximately one-half turn to the left to loosen.
Long workpieces need extra supports. Supports should be placed along the workpiece so it does not sag. The support should let the workpiece lay flat on the base of the saw and work table during the cutting operation. Use the work clamp or a C-clamp to secure the workpiece.
CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL See Figures 24 and 25. When cutting warped material, always make sure it is positioned on the miter table with the convex side against the fence as shown in figure 24. If the warped material is positioned the wrong way as shown in figure 25, it will pinch the blade near the completion of the cut.
WARNING: When servicing, use only identical Ryobi replacement parts. Use of any other part may create a hazard or cause product damage. GENERAL 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.
WARNING: To ensure safety and reliability, all repairs — with the exception of the externally accessible brushes — should be performed by a qualified service technician at a Ryobi Authorized Service Center to avoid risk of personal injury. BRUSH REPLACEMENT See Figure 27.
