10. OPERATION
10.1 APPLICATIONS
(Only use your saw for the following purposes.)
• Crosscutting wood and plastic.
• Cutting mitres, joints, etc. for picture frames, mouldings, door casings and joinery.
Note: The blade provided is suitable 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.
WARNING: Before you start cutting, clamp or bolt your mitre saw to a workbench. Never operate your mitre saw
on the floor or while crouching down. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.
10.2 CUTTING WITH YOUR MITRE SAW
WARNING: When using a vice or G-clamp to secure your workpiece, clamp the workpiece on one side of
the blade only. The workpiece must remain free on one side of the blade to prevent the blade from binding in
the workpiece. If the blade binds in the workpiece, the motor may stall or the workpiece may kick back. This could
cause an accident and result in serious personal injury.
10.3 CROSSCUT
See Figure 24.
A crosscut is a cut made across the grain of the wood. A 90° crosscut is made with the mitre table set at 0°. Mitres are made
with the mitre table set at an angle other than 0°.

10.4 CROSSCUTTING WITH YOUR MITRE SAW
• Pull out the locking pin and raise the saw arm fully.
• Loosen the bevel lock handle by turning it approximately one-half turn to the left.
• Press the mitre lock plate down with your thumb and hold.
• Rotate the control arm until the pointer aligns with the desired angle on the mitre scale.
• Release the mitre lock plate.
Note: You can quickly locate 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.62°, and 45° left or right by releasing the lock plate as you rotate the
control arm. The lock plate will slot into one of the positive stops at the base of the mitre table.
• Tighten the mitre lock handle securely.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always tighten the mitre lock handle securely before making a cut.
If the mitre lock handle is not properly tightened, the control arm and mitre table may move during cutting.
• Put the workpiece flat on the mitre table with one edge firmly against the fence. If the workpiece is warped, put the
convex side against the fence. If the concave side of a workpiece is put against the fence, the kerf could pinch the blade
and jam it near the end of the cut. See Figures 31 and 32.
• When cutting long pieces of wood or mouldings, support the far end of the workpiece on a stand or workbench level
with the mitre table.
• Align the cutting line on the workpiece with the saw blade.
• Hold the workpiece with one hand firmly against the fence. Use a vice or G-clamp to secure the workpiece whenever
possible. See Figure 24.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, keep your hands outside the "keep hands clear" zone, at least 80 mm
from the blade. Never cut freehand (without holding the workpiece against the fence). The blade could jam in the
workpiece if it slips or twists.
• Before turning on the saw, try a dummy run to make sure that no problems will occur when the cut is made.
• Hold the saw handle firmly, press the lock button, then squeeze the trigger. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach
maximum speed.
• Slowly lower the blade down through the workpiece. See Figure 24.
• Release the trigger and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of the workpiece. Wait until the
electric brake has stopped the blade turning before removing the workpiece from the mitre table.
