To Next PageTo Next PageWhat to do if my Ryobi RTS12 Saw does not start?
If your Ryobi Saw doesn't start, there are several possible reasons. First, make sure the motor cord or wall cord is properly plugged in. If that's not the issue, check the circuit fuse and replace it if it's blown. Alternatively, the circuit breaker might have tripped, so try resetting it. In case the cord or switch is damaged, it should be replaced at an authorized service center.
How to adjust Ryobi Saw for accurate cuts?
If your Ryobi Saw does not make accurate 90 or 45 degree cuts, adjust the positive stops behind the front panel for bevel cuts. For miter cuts, adjust the miter gauge.
Why is my Ryobi RTS12 cutting binding or burning the work?
If the Ryobi Saw's cutting binds or burns the material, it could be due to several factors. The blade may be dull, requiring replacement or sharpening. The workpiece might be fed too quickly, so reduce the feed rate. An improperly aligned rip fence can also cause this issue, so ensure it's correctly aligned. Warped workpieces should be replaced, and always cut with the convex side facing the table surface. Finally, check the riving knife alignment.
How to fix Ryobi Saw blade making poor cuts?
If your Ryobi Saw blade makes poor cuts, the blade may be dull or dirty, requiring cleaning, sharpening, or replacement. Ensure you're using the correct blade type for the cut you're making, and check that the blade is mounted correctly.
Why is the height/bevel adjusting hand-wheel hard to turn on my Ryobi Saw?
If the Ryobi Saw's height/bevel adjusting handwheel is hard to turn, the gears or screw post behind the front panel may be clogged with sawdust. Clean these components to resolve the issue.
Why does the motor labor in rip cut with my Ryobi RTS12?
If the motor labors during a rip cut with your Ryobi Saw, the blade might not be suitable for rip cuts. Try changing the blade to one specifically designed for ripping; typically, these have fewer teeth.
What to do if workpiece edges away from rip fence when ripping with Ryobi Saw?
If the workpiece edges away from the rip fence when ripping with your Ryobi Saw, the blade might not be properly sharpened or set. Resharpen or set the blade to correct this issue.
What to do if blade does not lower when turning height/bevel adjusting handwheel on Ryobi RTS12?
If the blade of your Ryobi Saw does not lower when turning the height/bevel adjusting handwheel, ensure that the locking lever is moved to the full left position.
