LAYING MOLDING FLAT ON THE MITRE
TABLE (Fig. 15)
To use this method for accurately cutting crown
■
molding for a 90° inside or outside corner, lay the
molding with its broad back surface flat on the mitre
table and against the fence.
When setting the bevel and mitre angles for
■
compound mitres, remember that the settings are
interdependent; changing one angle changes the
other angle as well.
Keep in mind that the angles for crown molding are
■
very preclse and dif.cult to set. Since it is very easy
for these angles to shift, all settings should first be
tested on scrap molding. Also most walls do not have
angles or exactly 90°, therefore, you will need to fine
tune your settings.
When cutting crown molding by this method the bevel
■
angle should be set at 33.85°. The mitre angle should
be set at 31.62° either right or left, depending on the
desired cut for the application. See the chart below
for correct angle settings and correct positioning of
crown molding on mitre table.
The settings in the chart 2 can be used for cutting all
■
standard crown molding with 52° and 38° angles. The
crown molding is placed flat on the mitre table using
the compound features of your mitre saw.

CHOP CUTTING (WITHOUT SLIDE ACTION)
Slide the saw head to the rear as far as it goes.
■
Fasten the slide lock knob.
■
Adjust the mitre angle and/or the bevel angle.
■
Fasten the mitre knob and the bevel lever securely.
■
Switch on the laser (if needed).
■
Position the workpiece on the table and against the
■
fence and secure with clamp as appropriate.
Squeeze the power trigger and allow the saw to reach
■
full speed.
Press and hold the lower guard release lever.
■
Push the saw handle all the way down.
■
Release the trigger and allow the saw to stop
■
completely before raising the blade out of the
workpiece.
CUTTING BOWED MATERIAL
Before cutting a workpiece, check and make sure that it
is not bowed. If bowed, it must be positioned and cut as
illustrated (Fig. 16a & b). Do not position it incorrectly or
try to cut it without the support of the fence, otherwise it
may be pinched on the blade and could move or jump
suddenly and your hand could hit the blade.
WARNING
To avoid a kickback and to avoid serious
personal injury, never position the concave edge
of bowed or warped material against the fence.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
When servicing, use only identical Ryobi
replacement parts. Use of any other part may
create a hazard or cause product damage.
GENERAL
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various
types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by
their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
WARNING
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum based products, penetrating oils, etc.
come into contact with plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic.
