APPLICATIONS
This product has been designed only for the purposes listed
below:

Cross cutting wood and plastic (do not cut metals, ce-
ramics or masonry products.)

Cross cutting miters, joints, etc., for picture frames, mold-
ings, door casings, and fine joinery

Bevel and compound cutting

Cross cutting wide workpieces
NOTE: The blade provided is fine for most wood cutting
operations, but for fine joinery cuts or cutting plastic, use
one of the accessory blades available from the RYOBI dealer.
WARNING:
Before starting any cutting operation, clamp or bolt the
compound miter saw to a workbench. Never operate the
miter saw on the floor or in a crouched position. Failure
to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always tighten the miter
lock handle and bevel lock handle securely before making
a cut. Failure to do so could result in movement of the
miter table or saw head while making a cut.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, keep hands outside the
no hands zone, at least 4 in. (100 mm) from the blade.
Never perform any cutting operation freehand (without
holding workpiece against the fence). The blade could
grab the workpiece if it slips or twists.
NOTICE:
Do not start the compound miter saw without checking
for interference between the blade and the miter fence,
including the partial sliding miter fence. Damage could
result to the blade if it strikes the miter fence during op-
eration of the saw.
