User manual RYOBI RS112

[. . . ] Save these instructions for future reference. cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite dust or fumes. [. . . ] Saws shall not be used for slotting (stopped groove). Use only saw blades for which the maximum possible speed is not less than the maximum spindle speed of the tool and the material to be cut. Never stand or have any parts of your body in line with the path of the saw blade. Keep your hands out of the line of the saw blade. Move the rip fence out of the way when cross cutting. Feed the work into the blade or cutter AGAINST the direction of rotation only. Never use the fence as a cut-off gauge when crosscutting. Never attempt to free a stalled blade without first turning the saw OFF. Turn off the power switch immediately to prevent motor damage. When transporting the machine use only transportation devices and do never use guards for handling or transportation. During transportation the upper part of the saw blade should be covered; for example by the guard. After fully releasing the lock handle, turn the elevating handle in the counterclockwise direction to raise the blade shaft to its highest position (Fig. Then mount the blade (15) (be sure that the teeth are facing the front side of the saw). Fix the blade in place by using the fixing nut. WARNING Do not use saw blades which are damaged or deformed. use only saw blades recommanded by the manufacturer. Take care that the selection of the saw blade depends on the material to be cut. Insert the riving knife (20), so that the long slots in the riving knife fit around the hexagon socket head end screws (Fig. Adjust the riving knife so that the clearance between riving knife and blade is between 2 to 5 mm (Fig. The blade has been adjusted at the factory, using a square to check that the blade is at a 90º angle to the table. Loosen the lock nut (by using two wrenches, one for the lock nut and one for the adjustment nut) on the left side of the tilting handle mechanism and move the adjustment nut so that the blade is at the 90º position. Then turn the lock nut (while holding the adjustment nut in position) to fix the adjustment nut. [. . . ] Repetitive cutting is cutting a number of pieces the same length without having to mark each piece. Do not feed the workpiece with your hand (Fig. Guide it making sure that it does not bind or pinch the saw blade (Fig. Never use the rip fence as a length stop because the cutoff piece could bind between the fence and the blade causing a kickback.
