Tilting The Table; Using The Miter Gauge; Adjustments - Ryobi BS904 Manuel D'utilisation

TILTING THE TABLE

See Figure 13, page 20.
 Loosen the table lock knob slightly.
 Turn the angle adjustment knob, tilting the saw table until
it reaches the desired angle.
 Using the scale indicator, check angle markings.
 Retighten the table lock knob to hold saw table securely
in place.
WARNING:
Before performing any adjustment, make sure the tool
is unplugged from the power supply and the switch is in
the off position. Failure to heed this warning could result
in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
To avoid personal injury, maintain proper adjustment of
blade tension, blade tracking, blade guides, and thrust
bearings.
INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING THE BLADE
See Figure 16, page 21.
 Loosen and remove the wing screw, washers, and D-nut
from the saw table.
 Open the front covers by releasing the upper and lower
latches.
 Turn the lock knob counterclockwise to unlock the blade
guide assembly. Turning the blade guide knob (clockwise
raises the blade guide assembly; counterclockwise lowers
it), position the blade guide assembly about halfway
between the saw table and saw housing. Retighten the
lock knob.
 Open the blade guard by pulling the left side of the guard
out and away from the wheel.
OPERATION

USING THE MITER GAUGE

See Figures 14 - 15, page 20.
The miter gauge can be turned 30° to the right or left.
 Loosen the lock knob on the miter gauge.
 With the miter gauge in the miter gauge slot, rotate the
gauge until the desired angle is reached on the index
scale.
 Retighten the lock knob.

ADJUSTMENTS

 Release all blade tension from the blade.
 Carefully remove the old blade.
 Wearing gloves, carefully uncoil the new blade at arms
length. If the new blade was oiled to prevent rusting, it
may need to be wiped to keep the oil from your workpiece.
Carefully wipe in the same direction the teeth are pointing
so the rag does not catch on the teeth of the saw blade.
NOTE: The blade may need to be turned inside out if the
teeth are pointing in the wrong direction. Hold the blade
with both hands and rotate it inward.
 With the teeth of the blade toward the left of the saw and
facing downward, place the blade through the lower blade
guides and around both wheels.
 Slowly turn the upper wheel to the right or clockwise by
hand to center the blade on the rubber tires.
 Re-engage the RapidSet™ blade tension lever then adjust
the blade tension; check or adjust the blade tracking.
 Adjust both upper and lower blade guides and thrust
bearings as explained later in this Operator's Manual.
 Reattach the wing screw, washers, and D-nut. Tighten
securely.
 Close the blade guard and front cover. Relatch.
