Bevel Cutting; Pocket Cutting - Ryobi PSBCS01 Manual Del Operador

USING OPTIONAL EDGE GUIDE
See Figure 16, page 15.
Use an edge guide when making long or wide rip cuts
with the saw. The edge guide is purchased separately; see
Accessories later in this manual.
 Remove the battery pack.
 Place the edge guide through the slots in the saw base.
 Adjust the edge guide to the width needed.
 Tighten the wing screw securely.
When using an edge guide, position the face of the edge
guide firmly against the edge of workpiece. This makes for
a true cut without pinching the blade. The guiding edge of
the workpiece must be straight for your cut to be straight.
Use caution to prevent the blade from binding in the cut.

BEVEL CUTTING

See Figures 17 - 19, pages 15 and 16.
The angle of cut of the saw may be adjusted to any desired
setting between zero and 50°.
NOTE: When making cuts at 50°, the blade should be set
at full depth of cut.
Since blade thicknesses vary and different angles require
different settings, always make a trial cut in scrap material
along a guideline to determine how much you should offset
the guideline on the board to be cut.
When making a bevel cut, hold the saw firmly with both hands.
Rest the front edge of the base on the workpiece. Depress
the lock-off button and squeeze the switch trigger to start
the saw. Always let the blade reach full speed, then guide
the saw into the workpiece.
WARNING:
The blade coming in contact with the workpiece before it
reaches full speed could cause saw to "kickback" toward
you resulting in serious injury.
After you complete your cut release the trigger and allow
the blade to come to a complete stop. After the blade has
stopped, lift the saw from the workpiece.
TO ADJUST BEVEL SETTING
See Figures 17 - 19, pages 15 and 16.
 Remove the battery pack.
 Rotate bevel lock lever counterclockwise until the motor
housing moves freely.
 Raise the motor housing end of the saw until you reach
the desired angle setting on the bevel scale (0-50°).
 Rotate the bevel lock lever clockwise until the motor
housing is securely locked in place.
OPERATION
WARNING:
Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel lock
lever securely locked in place can result in serious injury.

POCKET CUTTING

See Figure 20, page 16.
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.
 Hold the lower blade guard by the handle.
WARNING:
Never extend your fingers while holding the lower blade
guard handle. Extending your fingers may result in con-
tact with the blade, causing serious injury.
 Rest the front of the base flat against the workpiece with
the rear handle raised so the blade does not touch the
workpiece.
DANGER:
Always check to ensure that your fingers are clear of the
blade before squeezing the switch trigger. Contact with
the blade will cause serious injury.
 Depress the lock-off button and squeeze the switch trig-
ger to start the saw. Always let the blade reach full speed
then slowly lower blade into the workpiece until base is
flat against workpiece.
 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 jig saw.
