RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
■
DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry.
They can get caught and draw you into moving
parts. Rubber gloves and nonslip footwear are
recommended when working outdoors. Also wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
■
KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the
operator's manual carefully. Learn the saw's
applications and limitations as well as the
specific potential hazards related to this tool.
■
GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK BY
PREVENTING BODY CONTACT WITH
GROUNDED SURFACES. For example; pipes,
radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
■
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH
SIDE SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only
impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety
glasses.
■
■
KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in good working
order.
■
■
■
PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust
mask if the cutting operation is dusty.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing
protection during extended periods of operation.
WRENCHES. Get in the habit of checking to see
that hex keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from tool before turning on saw.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work when practical. It's safer than using your
hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
■
■
KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered
work areas and work benches invite accidents.
DO NOT leave tools or pieces of wood on the
saw while it is in operation.
■
■
DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRON-
MENTS. Do not use power tools near gasoline or
other flammable liquids, in damp or wet loca-
tions, or expose them to rain. Keep the work
area well lit.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp and clean for better and safer perfor-
mance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories.
■
■
DISCONNECT ALL TOOLS. When not in use,
before servicing, or when changing attachments,
blades, bits, cutters, etc., all tools should be
disconnected or battery pack removed.
■
KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All
visitors should wear safety glasses and be kept a
safe distance from work area. Do not let visitors
contact tool while operating.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Be sure
switch is in the locked or off position before
inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your
finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack
into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.
■
■
■
■
MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with
padlocks and master switches, or by removing
starter keys.
DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
■
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use
of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.
Refer to this operator's manual for recommended
accessories.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool or
attachment to do a job it was not designed for.
Don't use it for a purpose not intended.
■
■
NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could
occur if the tool is tipped or if the blade is unin-
tentionally contacted.
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD FOR
CHARGER. Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. When using an extension cord,
be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. A wire gage size
(A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for an
extension cord 25 feet or less in length. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller
the gage number, the heavier the cord.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use
of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it
will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged must be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center to avoid risk of
personal injury.
■
PERIODICALLY INSPECT EXTENSION
CORDS and replace if damaged.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
■
NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-
■
NEVER START A TOOL WHEN THE BLADE IS
TENDED. REMOVE BATTERY PACK. Do not
leave tool, move workpiece or make adjustments
until it comes to a complete stop.
IN CONTACT WITH WORKPIECE. Allow motor
to come up to full speed before starting cut.
■
MAKE SURE THE MITER TABLE AND SAW
ARM (BEVEL FUNCTION) ARE LOCKED IN
POSITION BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SAW.
Lock the miter table by securely tightening the
miter lock handle. Lock the saw arm (bevel
function) by securely tightening the bevel lock
knob.
■
■
FIRMLY CLAMP OR BOLT your miter saw to a
workbench or table at approximately hip height.
USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Do not use
blades with incorrect size holes. Never use blade
washers or blade bolts that are defective or
incorrect. The maximum blade capacity of your
saw is 8-1/4 in. (209.6 mm).
■
NEVER USE A LENGTH STOP ON THE FREE
SCRAP END OF A CLAMPED WORKPIECE.
NEVER hold onto or bind the free scrap end of
the workpiece in any operation. If a work clamp
and length stop are used together, they must
both be installed on the same side of the saw
table to prevent the saw from catching the loose
end and kicking up.
■
■
KEEP BLADES CLEAN, SHARP AND WITH
SUFFICIENT SET. Sharp blades minimize
stalling and kickback.
DO NOT REMOVE THE SAW'S BLADE
GUARDS. Never operate the saw with any guard
or cover removed. Make sure all guards are
operating properly before each use.
■
■
NEVER cut more than one piece at a time. DO
NOT STACK more than one workpiece on the
saw table at a time.
■
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA.
Keep hands away from blades. Do not reach
underneath work or around or under the blade
while blade is rotating. Do not attempt to remove
cut material when blade is moving.
NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION "FREE-
HAND". Always place the workpiece to be cut on
the miter table and position it firmly against and
parallel to the fence as a backstop. Always use
the fence.
■
■
BLADE COASTS AFTER TURN OFF.
DO NOT ABUSE CHARGER CORD. Never yank
cord to disconnect it from receptacle. Keep cord
from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
■
■
■
■
NEVER hand hold a workpiece that is too small
to be clamped. Keep hands clear of the no hands
zone.
■
■
■
INSPECT CHARGER CORD PERIODICALLY
and if damaged, have repaired at your nearest
authorized service center.
NEVER reach behind, under, or within three
inches (76 mm) of the blade and its cutting path
with your hands and fingers for any reason.
DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT
TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches
replaced by an authorized service center.
NEVER reach to pick up a workpiece, a piece of
scrap, or anything else that is in or near the
cutting path of the blade.
KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM
OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth
when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, or any solvents to
clean tool.
AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND
POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause
your hand to move into the blade. ALWAYS
make sure you have good balance. NEVER
operate your miter saw on the floor or in a
crouched position.
■
ALWAYS SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES to
minimize risk of blade pinching and kickback.
Saw may slip, walk, or slide while cutting long or
heavy boards.
■
■
NEVER stand or have any part of your body in
line with the path of the saw blade.
■
■
■
■
BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL
ADJUSTMENTS ARE SECURE.
ALWAYS release the power switch and allow the
saw blade to stop rotating before raising it out of
the workpiece.
AVOID CUTTING NAILS. Inspect for and
remove all nails from lumber before cutting.
■
DO NOT TURN THE MOTOR SWITCH ON AND
OFF RAPIDLY. This could cause the saw blade
to loosen and could create a hazard. Should this
ever occur, stand clear and allow the saw blade
to come to a complete stop. Disconnect your saw
from the power supply and securely retighten the
blade bolt.
ALWAYS USE A CLAMP to secure the work-
piece when possible.
NEVER TOUCH BLADE or other moving parts
during use.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
■
■
■
REPLACEMENT PARTS. All repairs, whether
electrical or mechanical, should be made at your
nearest authorized service center.
■
Remove battery pack from tool or make sure
the switch is in the lock-off position before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, storing the tool or when not in
use. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replace-
ment parts. Use of any other parts may create a
hazard or cause product damage.
■
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from metal objects like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws, other small metal objects
as well as necklaces, chains, rings etc. that
can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMO-
SPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could
ignite fumes.
■
■
NEVER leave the miter saw unattended while
connected to a power source.
POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this charger has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other). This charger
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way.
■
■
Use battery operated tool only with
specifically designated battery pack. Use of
any other batteries may create a risk of fire. Use
only the battery pack listed.
USE ONLY THE CHARGER PROVIDED WITH
YOUR BATTERY TOOL. Do not substitute any
other charger. Use of another charger could
cause batteries to explode causing possible
serious injury.
■
IF ANY PART OF THIS MITER SAW IS MISS-
ING or should break, bend, or fail in any way, or
should any electrical component fail to perform
properly, release switch trigger, remove the
battery pack and have damaged, missing, or
failed parts replaced before resuming operation.
■
DO NOT PLACE BATTERY TOOLS OR THEIR
BATTERIES NEAR FIRE OR HEAT. Batteries
vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the
presence of heat or a source of ignition, such as
a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, never use any cordless product in
the presence of open flame. An exploded battery
can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed,
wash immediately with soap and water and
neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar.
■
■
DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UN-
DER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL,
OR ANY MEDICATION.
ALWAYS STAY ALERT! Do not allow familiarity
(gained from frequent use of your saw) to cause
a careless mistake. ALWAYS REMEMBER that
a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to
inflict severe injury.
■
■
DO NOT CHARGE BATTERY TOOL IN A
DAMP OR WET LOCATION.
Your battery tool should be charged in a location
where the temperature is more than 50°F (10°C)
but less than 100°F (37°C).
■
■
STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL.
Watch what you are doing and use common
sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.
Do not rush.
■
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in
contact with your skin, wash immediately with
soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice
or vinegar. If liquid gets in your eyes, flush them
with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then
seek immediate medical attention.
MAKE SURE THE WORK AREA HAS AMPLE
LIGHTING to see the work and that no obstruc-
tions will interfere with safe operation BEFORE
performing any work using your saw.
IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES FOR BATTERY
TOOLS
■
■
If carrying your battery tool at your side, make
sure it is not running and your finger is not on the
switch. Avoid accidental starting.
■
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. Be aware of possible
hazards when not using your battery tool or
when changing accessories.
WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL
RYOBI REPLACEMENT PARTS.

WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some ex-
amples of these chemicals are:
a. That pins on plug of extension cord are the
same number, size and shape as those of
plug on charger.
b. That extension cord is properly wired and in
good electrical condition; and
c. That wire size is large enough for AC
ampere rating of charger as specified
below:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and

FEATURES
Your compound miter saw should be permanently
TRIGGER LOCK
mounted to a firm supporting surface such as work-
bench. Four 3/8 in. (10 mm) bolt holes have been
provided in the saw base for this purpose. Each of the
four mounting holes should be bolted securely using
3/8 in. (10 mm) machine bolts, lock washers, and hex
nuts (not included). Bolts should be of sufficient length
to accommodate the saw base, lock washers, hex
nuts, and the thickness of the workbench. Tighten all
four bolts securely.
See Figure 10.
To prevent unauthorized use of your compound miter
saw, we suggest that you remove battery pack and
lock the switch in the off position. To lock the switch,
install a padlock through the hole in the switch trigger.
A lock with a shackle up to 13/64 in. (5.2 mm) diam-
eter may be used. When the lock is installed and
locked, the switch is inoperable. Store the padlock key
in another location.
The hole pattern for an 18-5/8 in. x 24 in. (457.2 mm x
609.6 mm) workbench is shown in Figure 11. Care-
fully check the workbench after mounting to make
sure that no movement can occur during use. If any
tipping, sliding, or walking is noted, secure the work-
bench to the floor before operating.

WARNING:
The operation of any saw can result in foreign objects
being thrown into your eyes, which can result in
severe eye damage. Before starting power tool
operation, always wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields and a full face shield when
needed. We recommend wide vision safety mask for
use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with
side shields.
ELECTRIC BRAKE
An electric brake has been provided to quickly stop
blade rotation after the switch is released.
FENCE
The fence on your compound miter saw has been

when making all cuts.
SELF-RETRACTING LOWER BLADE GUARD
WARNING:
The lower blade guard is made of shock-resistant,
see-through plastic that provides protection from each
side of the blade. It retracts over the upper blade
guard as the saw is lowered into the workpiece.
Do not attempt to modify this tool or create
accessories not recommended for use with this tool.
Any such alteration or modification is misuse and
could result in a hazardous condition leading to
possible serious personal injury.

bag and slide it on the exhaust port. Release the clips.
The metal ring in the bag should lock in one of the
grooves on the exhaust port. For more efficient
operation, empty dust bag when no more than half
full. This will permit better air flow through the bag.
WARNING:
To prevent accidental starting that could cause
possible serious personal injury, assemble all parts
to your saw before attaching battery pack. Battery
pack should never be attached to saw when you
are assembling parts, making adjustments,
installing or removing blades, or when not in use.

DANGER:
A 8-1/4 in. (209.6 mm) blade is the maximum blade
capacity of your saw. Never use a blade that is too
thick to allow outer blade washer to engage with
the flats on the spindle. Larger blades will come in
contact with the blade guards, while thicker blades
will prevent the blade bolt from securing the blade
on the spindle. Either of these situations will result
in a serious accident and can cause serious

DEPTH STOP
MITER TABLE
The depth stop limits the blade's downward travel. It
allows the blade to go below the miter table enough to
maintain full cutting capacities. The depth stop
positions the blade 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) from the miter
table support.
Fig. 31
■
■
Lower the blade into the throat plate of the miter
table. Check blade clearance and maximum
cutting distance (distance from fence where blade
enters) to front of miter table slot.
Note: The miter table support is located inside miter
table.
The depth stop is factory set to provide maximum
cutting capacity for the 8-1/4 in. (209.6 mm) saw
blade provided with your saw. Therefore, the saw
blade provided should never need adjustments.
Readjust if necessary.
WARNING:
However, when the diameter of the blade has been
reduced due to sharpening, it may be necessary to
adjust the depth stop to provide maximum cutting
capacity. Also, when a new blade is installed, it is
necessary to check the clearance of the blade to the
miter table support before starting the saw. Make
adjustments if needed.
Do not install battery pack or start your compound
miter saw without checking for any interference
with the blade. If the blade strikes any part of the
table or frame, serious injury or damage to the saw
could result.
■
Tighten the hex nut with a 17 mm wrench or
adjustable wrench.

WARNING:
Failure to remove battery pack from your saw
could result in accidental starting causing possible
serious personal injury.
■
To adjust the depth stop use a 17 mm wrench or
adjustable wrench and loosen the hex nut at the
rear of the miter saw arm.

OPERATION
CUTTING WITH YOUR COMPOUND
MITER SAW
Note: You can quickly locate 0°, 22-1/2° left or
right, 30° left or right, and 45° left or right on the
scale. The miter table can be seated in one of the
detent stop notches, located in the miter table
frame.
WARNING:
When using a work clamp or C-clamp to secure
your workpiece, clamp workpiece on one side of
the blade only. The workpiece must remain free on
one side of the blade to prevent the blade from
binding in workpiece. The workpiece binding the
blade will cause motor stalling and kickback. This
situation could cause an accident resulting in
possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always push the
miter table clamp back down before making a cut.
Failure to do so could result in movement of the
miter table while making a cut.
■
Place the workpiece flat on the miter table with
one edge securely against the fence. If the board
is warped, place the convex side against the
fence. If the concave edge of a board is placed
against the fence, the board could collapse on the
blade at the end of the cut, jamming the blade.
See Figures 40 and 41.
CROSSCUTTING
See Figure 33.
A crosscut is made by cutting across the grain of the

OPERATION
COMPOUND MITER CUT
See Figures 36 and 37.
TO MAKE A COMPOUND CUT WITH YOUR
MITER SAW:
A compound miter cut is a cut made using a miter
angle and a bevel angle at the same time. This type of
cut is used to make picture frames, cut molding, make
boxes with sloping sides, and for certain roof framing
cuts.
■
■
■
Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.
Lift the miter table clamp.
Rotate the miter table until the pointer aligns with
the desired angle on the miter scale.
■
Push the miter table clamp back down.
To make this type of cut the miter table must be
rotated to the correct angle and the saw arm must be
tilted to the correct bevel angle. Care should always
be taken when making compound miter setups due to
the interaction of the two angle settings.
Note: You can quickly locate 0°, 22-1/2° left or
right, 30° left or right, and 45° left or right on the
scale. The miter table can be seated in one of the
detent stop notches, located in the miter table
frame.
Adjustments of miter and bevel settings are interde-
pendent with one another. Each time you adjust the
miter setting you change the effect of the bevel
setting. Also, each time you adjust the bevel setting
you change the effect of the miter setting.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always push the
miter table clamp back down before making a cut.
Failure to do so could result in movement of the miter
table while making a cut.
It may take several settings to obtain the desired cut.
The first angle setting should be checked after setting
the second angle, since adjusting the second angle
affects the first.
■
Loosen the bevel lock knob and move the saw
arm to the left to the desired bevel angle.
Once the two correct settings for a particular cut have
been obtained, always make a test cut in scrap
material before making a finish cut in good material.
■
■
■
Bevel angles can be set from 0° to 45°.
Align the indicator point with the desired angle.
Once the saw arm has been set at the desired
angle, securely tighten the bevel lock knob.
■
■
Recheck miter angle setting. Make a test cut in
scrap material.
Place the workpiece flat on the miter table with
one edge securely against the fence. If the board
is warped, place the convex side against the
fence. If the concave edge of a board is placed
against the fence, the board could collapse on the
blade at the end of the cut, jamming the blade.
See Figures 41 and 42.

CUTTING CROWN MOLDING
LAYING MOLDING FLAT ON THE
MITER TABLE
See Figure 39.
Your compound miter saw does an excellent job of
cutting crown molding. In general, compound miter
saws do a better job of cutting crown molding than
any other tool made.
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 miter
table and against the fence.
In order to fit properly, crown molding must be com-
pound mitered with extreme accuracy.
When setting the bevel and miter angles for com-
pound miters, remember that the settings are interde-
pendent; changing one angle changes the other angle
as well.
The two contact surfaces on a piece of crown molding
that fit flat against the ceiling and the wall of a room
are at angles that, when added together, equal
exactly 90°. Most crown molding has a top rear angle
(the section that fits flat against the ceiling) of 52° and
a bottom rear angle (the section that fits flat against
the wall) of 38°.
Keep in mind that the angles for crown moldings are
very precise and difficult 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 of 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 miter 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 miter table.
The settings in the chart below can be used for cutting
All Standard (U.S.) crown molding with 52° and 38°
