Adjustments - Ryobi TSS101L Operator's Manual

WARNING:
Before performing any adjustment, make sure the tool is
unplugged from the power supply. Failure to heed this
warning could result in serious personal injury.
The compound miter saw has been adjusted at the
factory for making accurate cuts. However, some of
the components might have been jarred out of alignment
during shipping. Also, over a period of time, readjustment
will probably become necessary due to wear. After unpacking
the saw, check the following adjustments before you begin
using saw. Make any readjustments that are necessary and
periodically check the parts alignment to make sure that the
saw is cutting accurately.
TO ADJUST THE BEVEL PIVOT
See Figure 40.
The saw should smoothly pivot when the bevel lock lever is
"unlocked" and the saw is beveled. A "grating" sound
indicates that the bevel needs to be loosened slightly. If the
movement is tight, too loose, or there is play in the pivot, an
adjustment is required.
 Unplug the saw.
 Turn the hex nut with the blade wrench.
 Once all adjustments have been made, lift the bevel
lock lever to relock the bevel. Recheck and readjust as
needed.
TO ADJUST THE LASER GUIDE
See Figure 41.
NOTE: Avoid direct eye exposure when using the laser
guide.
 Use the work clamp or a C-clamp to secure a piece of
scrap wood.
