Pocket Cutting - Ryobi CSB135L Manual Del Operador

 Make a trial cut in scrap material along a guideline to de-
termine 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 section.
TO ADJUST BEVEL SETTING
See Figures 18 - 19, page 17.
 Unplug the saw.
 Loosen bevel lock knob.
 Rotate motor housing end of saw until you reach desired
angle setting on bevel scale.
 Tighten bevel lock knob securely.
WARNING:
Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel lock knob
securely tightened can result in serious injury.
TO BEVEL CUT
See Figure 20, page 17.
 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 and allow the blade to come to a com-
plete stop.
 Lift the saw from the workpiece.

POCKET CUTTING

See Figure 21, page 18.
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 while keeping
your hand on the front handle, as shown.
 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.
OPERATION
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 switch and allow the blade to come to a com-
plete 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. Leav-
ing the blade exposed could lead to serious injury.
OPTIONAL EDGE GUIDE
See Figure 22, page 18.
Use the optional edge guide kit, part no. 202218001 when
making long or wide rip cuts with the saw.
To assemble edge guide:
 Unplug the saw.
 Place edge guide through slots in base as shown.
 Adjust edge guide to the width needed.
 Tighten edge guide lock knob securely.
To use edge guide:
 Secure the workpiece to prevent movement.
 Position the face of the edge guide firmly against the edge
of workpiece.
 Guide the saw along the edge to achieve a straight rip cut.
NOTE: The guiding edge of the workpiece must be straight
for the cut to be straight. Use caution to prevent the blade
from binding in the cut.
OPTIONAL DUST NOZZLE KIT
See Figure 23, page 18.
You may purchase a dust nozzle kit, part no. 200673002, for
use with the saw. The adaptor fits over the dust chute which
is located on the upper blade guard. The nozzle attaches to
the adaptor.
NOTE: If you use the nozzle, you should always connect it to
a standard vacuum hose.
To attach dust nozzle:
 Unplug the saw.
 Lift lower blade guard.
 Orient adaptor to fit into the dust chute opening on upper
blade guard.
 Secure adaptor with screw provided.
 Align hole in nozzle with raised lip on adaptor and snap
