KNOW YOUR MITER SAW
See Figure 2.
Before attempting to use your saw, familiarize yourself with
all operating features and safety requirements.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with your miter saw to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second
is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
14 AMP MOTOR
Your saw has a powerful 14 amp motor with sufficient
power to handle tough cutting jobs. It is made with all ball
bearings, and has externally accessible brushes for ease
of servicing.
10 in. (254 mm) BLADE
A 10 in. (254 mm) saw blade is included with your miter
saw. It is fine for most wood cutting operations, but for fine
joinery cuts or cutting plastic, use one of the accessory
blades available from your nearest Ryobi dealer.

°

Your saw will cut dimensional lumber up to a 2 x 6.

BLADE WRENCH / STORAGE AREA

wrench is a phillips screwdriver and the other end is a 1/4 in.

removing blade and the phillips end when removing or
loosening screws. A storage area for the blade wrench is
located behind the fence.
CARRYING HANDLE

saw from one place to another, a carrying handle has been
provided on top of the saw arm as shown in figure 3. To
