Adjustments - Ryobi TS1143L Manuel D'utilisation

WARNING:
Before performing any adjustment, make sure the tool is
unplugged from the power supply. Failure to heed this
warning could result in serious personal injury.
The compound miter saw has been adjusted at the
factory for making very accurate cuts. However, some of
the components might have been jarred out of alignment
during shipping. Also, over a period of time, readjustment
will probably become necessary due to wear. After unpacking
the saw, check the following adjustments before you begin
using the saw. Make any readjustments that are necessary
and periodically check the parts alignment to make sure that
the saw is cutting accurately.
CAUTION:
Do not start the compound miter saw without checking
for interference between the blade and the throat plate.
Damage may result to the blade if it strikes the throat
plate during operation of the saw and may result in per-
sonal injury.
PIVOT ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE: These adjustments were made at the factory and
normally do not require readjustment.
TRAVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT
 The saw arm should rise completely to the up position
by itself.
 If the saw arm does not raise by itself or if there is play
in the pivot joints, have saw repaired by at your nearest
authorized service center.
BEVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT
 The compound miter saw should bevel easily by loosening
the bevel lock knob and tilting the saw arm to the left.
 If movement is tight or if there is play in the pivot, have saw
repaired by at your nearest authorized service center.

ADJUSTMENTS

POSITIVE STOP ADJUSTMENTS
See Figure 33.
NOTE: These adjustments were made at the factory and
normally do not require readjustment.
To adjust:
 Unplug the saw.
 Loosen the bevel lock knob by turning the knob
counterclockwise.
 Square the blade to the miter table as described in the
Assembly section of this manual.
 If the blade is out of square, adjust by tightening or
loosening the positive stop adjustment screw.
 Retighten bevel lock knob. Recheck blade-to-table
alignment.
NOTE: The above procedure can be used to check blade
squareness of the saw blade to the miter table at both 0°
and 45° angles.
The saw has two scale indicators, one on the bevel scale
and one on the miter scale. After squaring adjustments have
been made, it may be necessary to loosen the indicator
screws and reset them to zero. See figure 20.
