User manual RYOBI RBS-3080

[. . . ] It is essential that you read the instructions in this manual before mounting and operating this machine. This machine is designed to cut wood or plastic. Only cut circles with a proper clamping device through the longitudinal axis of the workpiece because of the risk of twisting of the workpiece by the sawblade. The manufacturer shall under no circumstance be liable for damages resulting for improper use of this saw. [. . . ] The table must be adjusted on two levels: · Sideways, so that the sawblade turns in the middle of the chip guard; at right angles to the sawblade. With a set square, adjust the table so that it is at right angles to the blade and tightly screw down the retaining screws (32). Loosen the nut (33) and adjust the setting of the dead-stop screw (34) until it touches the saw casing. You can mount the parallel guide either on the right or on the left of the sawblade. The sawdust of certain woods (like oak and ash) can cause cancer when inhaled. Do not work in confined spaces unless you have a sawdust extraction system (air speed in the extraction outlet > 20 m/s). You use your saw for a short period of time (30 minutes of use at the most). When you use your saw without a sawdust extraction system, sawdust builds up: it therefore has to be emptied out on a regular basis. Too much tension can result in the breakage of the sawblade. Too little tension can result in the sliding of the sawblade. To check the tension, exert slight lateral pressure on the sawblade, mid-way between the table and the upper sawblade guide (the sawblade must have a maximum sideways give of 1 to 2 mm). If it is necessary to correct the tension: Turn the adjustment knob (36) clockwise to increase the tension. Electric voltage Make sure that the saw is in a dry place. Before you plug in your saw, make sure that the following requirements have been met: · Fuse protection with FI switch and leakage current of 30 mA Mains sockets installed according to professional standards, earthed and approved Place the power cable so that it is out of your way and will not be damaged while you work. Protect this cable from heat, corrosive liquids and sharp edges. only use rubber cables of a sufficient thickness. Do not pull on the cable to unplug it from the mains. To reduce the risks of injury, follow the safety instructions below while you work: · Never saw more than one workpiece at a time. When you saw a workpiece, always maintain it firmly on the table. Do not slow down the sawblade by exerting side pressure. When your work, if necessary, use: - A support for large workpieces that may fall off the table once cut. When you make circular cuts, use an appropriate clamping device to avoid twisting of the workpiece. [. . . ] By loosening the set screw (48), you can move the roller (49) forwards or backwards in the direction of the arrows. Adjust the three-roller guide (51) so that the lateral rollers (52) are positioned about 1 mm behind the base of the teeth. Place the knurled screw (53) and the lateral rollers (54) in the correct position ­ the two lateral rollers must be in slight contact with the sawblade. Turn the wheels of the saw clockwise several times. [. . . ]
