Bevel Cutting; Pocket Cutting - Ryobi CSB142LZ Manuel D'utilisation

BEVEL CUTTING

See Figures 22 - 24, page 20.
To make the best possible cut, follow these helpful hints.
 Align the line of cut with the inner blade guide notch on
the base when making 45° bevel cuts.
 Make a trial cut in scrap material along a guideline to
determine how much you should offset the guideline on
the cutting material.
 Adjust the angle of the cut to any desired setting between
zero and 51.5°. Refer to To Adjust Bevel Setting next.
TO ADJUST BEVEL SETTING
See Figures 22 - 23, page 20.
 Unplug the saw.
 Loosen bevel adjustment knob.
 Rotate motor housing end of saw until you reach desired
angle setting on bevel scale.
 Tighten bevel adjustment knob securely.
WARNING:
Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel
adjustment knob securely tightened can result in seri-
ous injury.
TO BEVEL CUT
See Figure 21, page 19.
 Hold the saw firmly with both hands as shown.
 Rest the front edge of the base on the workpiece.
 Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
 Guide the saw into the workpiece and make the cut.
 Release the switch trigger and allow the blade to come
to a complete stop.
 Lift the saw from the workpiece.

POCKET CUTTING

See Figure 22, page 20.
WARNING:
Always adjust bevel setting to zero before making a
pocket cut. Attempting a pocket cut at any other setting
can result in loss of control of the saw possibly causing
serious injury.
 Adjust the bevel setting to zero.
 Set the blade to the correct blade depth setting.
 Swing the lower blade guard up using the lower blade
guard handle.
NOTE: Always raise the lower blade guard with the handle
to avoid serious injury.
OPERATION
 Hold the lower blade guard by the handle.
 Rest the front of the base flat against the workpiece with
the rear of the handle raised so the blade does not touch
the workpiece.
 Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
 Guide the saw into the workpiece and make the cut.
WARNING:
Always cut in a forward direction when pocket cutting.
Cutting in the reverse direction could cause the saw to
climb up on the workpiece and back toward you.
 Release the trigger and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop.
 Lift the saw from the workpiece.
 Clear corners out with a hand saw or sabre saw.
WARNING:
Never tie the lower blade guard in a raised position.
Leaving the blade exposed could lead to serious injury.
0° BEVEL STOP
See Figure 26, page 21.
The saw has a 0° bevel stop that has been factory adjusted
to assure 0° angle of the saw blade when making 90° cuts.
To check 0° bevel stop:
 Unplug the saw.
 Place the saw in an upside down position on a workbench.
 Check the squareness of the saw blade plate to the base
of the saw using a combination square.
To adjust 0° bevel stop:
 Unplug the circular saw.
 Loosen bevel adjustment knob.
 Loosen hex nut securing adjusting screw.
 Turn adjusting screw and adjust base until square with
saw blade.
 Tighten hex nut and bevel adjustment knob securely.
WARNING:
Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel
adjustment knob securely tightened can result in seri-
ous injury.
