This document is the operator's manual for the Ryobi 9 in. (229 mm) Band Saw, model BS902. It provides comprehensive information on the tool's operation, assembly, adjustments, maintenance, and safety precautions.
The Ryobi BS902 is a 9-inch (229 mm) band saw designed primarily for "curve cutting" operations in wood and wood composition products. It can also perform straight-line cutting tasks such as cross-cutting, ripping, mitering, beveling, compound cutting, and resawing. The saw is not capable of making inside or non-through cuts. It operates by using a continuous band blade that rotates around two wheels, with the workpiece fed into the blade on a worktable.
