SWITCH TRIGGER ELECTRIC BRAKE An electric brake has been provided to quickly stop blade rotation after the switch is released. FENCE The fence on your miter saw has been provided as a support to hold your workpiece securely against when making all cuts. SELF-RETRACTING LOWER BLADE GUARD The lower blade guard is made of shock-resistant, seethrough plastic that provides protection from each side of the blade. It retracts over the upper blade guard as the saw is lowered into the workpiece. 5 Page 9 FEATURES MOUNTING HOLE See Figure 6. Your miter saw should be mounted to a firm supporting surface such as workbench. Four bolt holes have been provided in the saw base for this purpose. Each of the four mounting holes should be bolted securely using 3/8 in. (10 mm) machine bolts, lock washers, and hex nuts (not included). Bolts should be of sufficient length to accommodate the saw base, lock washers, hex nuts, and the thickness of the workbench. The hole pattern, shown in figure 6, is for an 18 in. Carefully check the workbench after mounting to make sure that no movement can occur during use. If any tipping, sliding, or walking is noted, secure the workbench to the floor before operating. If these accessories were not provided with your saw, they are available from your Ryobi dealer. For the location of a distributor near you, call 1-800-525-2579 in the United States. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Your saw has a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply. WARNING: The operation of any saw can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before starting power tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We recommend wide vision safety mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields. OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES Optional accessories, provided on some models, are available for use with your saw. They include table extensions, a stop block, work clamp, and dust bag. Table extensions increase the work surface to 36 in. (90 cm) wide, providing support for cutting long workpieces. The stop block provides a stop for making repetitive cuts to same length. [. . . ] Have cord replaced by an Authorized Service Center. Remove blade and clean with turpentine and coarse steel wool. Replace with the adequate size extension cord. Position bowed material correctly (convex side to the back fence). [. . . ]
