Ryobi P551 Operator's Manual page 16

NOTE: Many of the illustrations in this manual show only
portions of the compound miter saw. This is intentional so
that we can clearly show points being made in the illustra-
tions. Never operate the saw without all guards securely
in place and in good operating condition.
SqUARING THE MITER TAbLE TO THE
FENCE
See Figures 13 - 16.
 Remove the battery pack from the tool.
 Push down on the saw arm and pull out the lock pin to
release the saw arm.
 Raise the saw arm.
 Lift the miter lock lever.
 Rotate the miter table until the pointer aligns with zero
on the miter scale.
 Push the miter lock lever down to lock the miter table.
 Lay a square flat on the miter table. Place one leg of the
square against the fence. Place the other leg of the square
beside the throat plate in the miter table. The edge of the
square and the throat plate in the miter table should be
parallel as shown in figure 13.
 If the edge of the square and the throat plate in the
miter table are not parallel as shown in figures 14
and 15, adjustments are needed.
 Using the blade wrench provided, loosen the socket head
screws securing the fence. Adjust the fence left or right
until the square and throat plate are parallel.
 Retighten the screws securely and recheck the fence-to-
table alignment.
