OPERATION
WARNING:
Never feed wood with your hands when making any non-
through cut such as rabbets or dadoes.
WARNING:
When making a non-through cut, the cutter is covered by
the workpiece during most of the cut. Be alert to the
exposed cutter at the start and finish of every cut to avoid
the risk of serious personal injury.
When the cut is made, turn the saw off ( ). Wait for the
blade to come to a complete stop before removing the
workpiece.
Unplug your saw.
Remove the screw holding the throat plate in place.
Remove the throat plate.
Raise the saw blade.
Push the bevel locking lever to the right. Rotate the blade
adjusting handle until the bevel indicator shows a 30°
angle. Push the bevel locking lever securely to the left
while holding the blade adjusting handle to lock the angle.
Reinstall the blade guard assembly.
Retighten the nuts at the base of the riving knife. Check
riving knife alignment to the blade and adjust shims if
necessary.
Move the bevel locking lever to the right and rotate the
blade back to 90°. Push the lever to the left to lock the
angle.
Lower the blade, insert the throat plate, then securely
tighten the throat plate screw.
TO MAKE DADO CUTS
A dado is a non-through cut and typically refers to a channel
cut, both with the grain and across the grain. (The Ryobi part
number for the dado set is 4650306.)
Unplug your saw.

Unplug the saw to avoid possible injury.
Remove the blade guard assembly.
Retighten the two hex nuts on base assembly.

Remove the inner blade washer and both the small and
large spacers.
Reinstall the inner blade washer.
Mount the dado blade, using the blade and chippers
appropriate for the desired width of cut.
Reinstall the outer blade washer and arbor nut.
Make sure the arbor nut is fully engaged and the arbor
extends at least one full thread past a securely tightened
arbor nut.
When mounting dado blades, make sure both the inner
blade washer and outer blade washer are used.
Replace the throat plate with optional Dado Throat Plate
(#0131030330-35). When ordering parts, always give the

WARNING:
Always put all spacers in proper location when changing
back to saw blade. Failure to do so may result in possible
injury and damage to the tool.
WARNING:
Always use push blocks, push sticks, or featherboards
when making dado cuts to avoid the risk of serious injury.
WARNING:
All blades must be rated for at least 5,500 RPM to prevent
possible injury or damage to the tool

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Always begin by disconnecting the power supply.
Periodically check all clamps, nuts, bolts, screws, and
belts for tightness and condition. Make sure the throat
plate is in good condition and in position.

To maintain the table surfaces, fence, and rails, periodically
apply paste wax to them and buff to provide smooth
functioning.
Protect the blade by cleaning out sawdust from underneath
the table and in the blade teeth. Use a resin solvent on the
blade teeth.
Clean plastic parts only with a soft damp cloth. DO
NOT use any aerosol or petroleum solvents.
