Adjustable Fence; Cutting Angle Adjustment; Adjusting Width Of Cut - Ryobi C357 Operator's Manual

ADJUSTABLE FENCE

See Figure 6.
The adjustable fence is located at the rear of your cut-off
machine. As mentioned previously, it is used along with the
vise clamp to provide a clamp for holding your workpiece
securely when making cuts. It also makes your cut-off
machine more versatile.
The fence can be rotated to obtain cutting angles from 0 to
45 . It also can be moved back to allow greater cutting widths
in thin stock, or forward to allow greater cutting depths in tall
or thick stock.

head bolts securing adjustable fence. See Figure 7.
Rotate fence until the desired angle of cut on the scale is
aligned with the indicator in machine base.
For precise cuts, check the angle of cut for the fence
against the abrasive wheel with a protractor, bevel square,
or other similar device.
Using the 8 mm hex key supplied, securely tighten socket
head bolts. Return hex key to its storage area in base.
This will secure the fence in place at desired angle.
