OPERATION BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES Ryobi lithium-ion batteries are designed with features that protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize battery life. If the tool stops during use, release the trigger to reset and resume operation. If the tool still does not work, the battery needs to be recharged. CUTTING WITH YOUR Compound MITER SAW 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: NEVER move the workpiece or make adjustment to any cutting angle while the saw is running and the blade is rotating. Any slip can result in contact with the blade causing serious personal injury. To Cross cut See Figures 26 - 27. A cross cut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece. A straight cross cut is made with the miter table set at the 0° position. Miter cross cuts are made with the miter table set at some angle other than zero.  Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.  Lift the miter lock lever.  Rotate the miter table until the pointer aligns with zero on the miter scale. Note: You can quickly locate 0°, 15°, 22-1/2°, left or right, 31.62° and 45° left or right as you rotate the control arm. The miter table will seat itself in one of the positive stop index points, located in base.  Push the miter lock lever down to lock the miter table.  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.  When cutting long pieces of lumber or molding, support the opposite end of the stock with a roller stand or with a work surface level with the saw table.
