Why Ryobi RBS904 motor will not run?
- D
  debrahaleAug 1, 2025
  If the Ryobi Saw motor won't run, the issue could stem from a problem with the ON/OFF switch, the power cord, a defective motor, or a binding blade. You can remove any jammed material that may be causing the blade to bind. It is suggested to have worn parts replaced before using the saw again. If the motor is defective, do not attempt any repairs yourself; instead, have the tool repaired by a qualified service technician.

  If the Ryobi Saw blade won't cut straight, it could be due to improperly adjusted blade guides and bearings. Adjust the upper and lower blade guides and bearings. Another cause could be a worn or defective blade, which would need replacement.

What to do if Ryobi RBS904 blade is breaking?
- A
  Arthur CastilloAug 9, 2025
  Blade breakage in your Ryobi Saw can occur due to several reasons. It might be caused by too much blade tension, which requires adjusting the tension. A kink in the blade, resulting from cutting too small a radius or turning the material too fast, can also cause the blade to break, so ensure you are using the correct cutting technique. Lastly, scarred or non-rotating thrust bearings can be the culprit, in which case you should replace the thrust bearings.

What to do if Ryobi Band Saw slows down when cutting?

  If the Ryobi Band Saw slows down, it might be due to cutting too small a radius. To resolve this, stop feeding and back up the cutting material slightly until the band saw speeds up. Another cause could be a dull blade, which would need to be replaced.

What to do if Ryobi RBS904 motor runs but blade does not turn?

  Derek ChandlerAug 17, 2025
  If the Ryobi Saw motor runs but the blade doesn't turn, the tension may not be set properly; use the Rapidset Blade Tension Lever to set the tension. Another potential cause is a broken drive belt. If this is the case, have the tool repaired by a qualified service technician.

Why is my Ryobi RBS904 Saw so noisy when running?
- P
  Patricia JonesAug 22, 2025
  If your Ryobi Saw is noisy during operation, it may be caused by too much blade tension. In this case, adjust the tension. Another cause could be that the blade guides and bearings are in contact with the blade. If so, adjust the upper and lower blade guides and bearings.

  If the Ryobi Saw blade guides won't stay in position, it's likely that the blade guide screws have loosened. Make sure to securely tighten the blade guide screws.
