Maintenance - Ryobi RTS10NS Operator's Manual

TO CHECK THE ALIGNMENT OF THE RIP FENCE
TO THE BLADE
See Figure 46.
The rip fence must be parallel to the saw blade and the miter
gauge grooves.
WARNING:
A misaligned rip fence can cause kickbacks and jams.
To reduce the risk of injury, always maintain proper rip
fence alignment.
 Unplug the saw.
 Raise the locking lever to permit the rip fence to be moved.
 Place a framing square beside the blade and move the
rip fence up to the square. Take the dimension on the rip
scale.
 Move the fence back and turn the framing square 180°
to check the other side.
 If the two dimensions are not the same, using a 10 mm
wrench loosen the two bolts on the fence and align it.
 Retighten the two bolts.
 Make two or three test cuts on scrap wood. If the cuts
are not true, repeat the process.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause
product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1 during product operation. If
operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
WARNING:
Before performing any maintenance, make sure the tool

MAINTENANCE

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.
 Periodically check all clamps, nuts, bolts, and screws for
tightness and condition. Make sure the throat plate is in
good condition and in position.
 Check the blade guard assembly.
 To maintain the table surfaces, fence, and rails,
periodically apply paste wax to them and buff to provide
smooth functioning.
 Protect the blade by cleaning out sawdust from
underneath the table and in the blade teeth. Use a resin
solvent on the blade teeth.
 Clean plastic parts only with a soft damp cloth. DO
NOT use any aerosol or petroleum solvents.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication
