Ryobi 10 In Miter Saw With Laser - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Forget it. The lazer site gets obscured and useless after 5 minutes of cutting. It is the most useless improvement I've seen on a power tool in 40 years.

First, check the outlet it's plugged into. Power cords can go open, try holding the trigger (careful), and bend the power cord near the plug, and near the saw. Trigger switches can go out. saw motors can go out.

Sound like a piece of wood may have driven the arm up which operates the guard, if you remove the screws holding the guard support plate to the saw you should be able to remove the guard assembly, the arm can then be re-bent down on the end so that it meets the angled plate on the back of the guard and pushes the guard through the entire stroke, the other reason could be a damaged guard, when the centre screw is removed the plates can be removed from the guard, note how the spring and plates are assembled prior to dismantling, check the inside centre of the perspex guard and ensure the 4 protrusions which engage with the drive plate haven't broken off, if sow the guard will need to be replaced, this may now be an obsolete part , if so purchase a Makita guard as they are the same

There may be a grub screw or adjustment on the saw which is preventing the blade from being fully lowered into the cutting slot. This would probably at the back of the saw near where it pivots.

Could be the armature or worn gears.

there should be no power going anywhere until you pull on the trigger. With that in mind I would be looking at the switch for the fault

capacitors are known as capacitors or condensers. Both do the same job of storing electrical energy and then releasing it when the current flows back . They are used to either start an electric motor or stop arcing on the brushes by absorbing the current flow as it stops over each commuter bar of the armature

there is a pin that you have to pull out

you may have not gotten the blade on the arbor correctly, it sound like it is crooked, but if you look at the blade while it is spinning, you should see that. it is most likely the blade being crooked in the arbor, take the blade off and reinstall it.

089100118042 switch ~ about $8 at ereplacementparts. The brake feature does not use 115v power to work. It uses self generated energy from spinning armature to work. When you release the switch, 115v power is disconnected and brake circuit is activated.
Looking at the wiring key on the side of the switch, there are two switch positions with connections numbered from one thru four. Connection 1 to 2 is the normal open connection and is where the motor run wires are connected. Second position is 3 to 4 that is normal closed for brake. Some replacement switches are numbered differently so just follow marked wiring pattern. Your switch is apparently faulty. As a temp measure, try removing one lead of brake circuit from the switch to see if it allows you to use the saw without brake feature. Only a temporary fix if it works untill new switch arrives allowing you to keep working.

Try this site. http://powertool.manualsonline.com/manuals/mfg/ryobi/ts1341.html I could not find your exact model. If this is not close to what you have then there are many other models to chose from. Just click on "ryobi saw" above the manual to see the rest of the models. You should find something very similiar. Thanks and please rate.

Adjust the angle by turning the bed of the saw bit by bit until you have a 90 degree cut on a piece of timber measured with a carpenters square. Some saws have an adjustable pointer and you can now adjust it to point to 90 degrees. If the bevel cut is off, the vertical downwards cut, there may be grub screw at the back of the saw which will allow you to make adjustments.

Get some Paslode tool cleaner and spray it all around the crevices of the trigger using the tube(straw) provided,while pulling the trigger back and releasing several times. You have debris in the mechanism.

Hi,
Is this a used saw and have you changed the blade???
Yes, it does seem as though the blade is just loose....I would get a socket on the bolt...press in the shaft lock and rotate the shaft until it goes on in and stops the shaft... then use the socket to make sure that the bolt is very tight...

If you have recently replaced the blade, make sure that the heavy washers are on either side of the blade, the blade is on the shaft correctly and the bolt is tight....

I don't know but if you have figured it out let me know. I have same prroblem.

I have been in the same situation in the past, with a mastercraft miter saw to a point of using playing cards to get that nice tight miter joint. placing the cards between the fence and the piece i was trying to miter.Rioby makes mastercraft all thought they are a good saw they have their limits to the precisions of their cuts. good for fences,decks, stuctural framing ect, were a degree two is not a big thing,but when making furniture or interior trim work or picture frames or hobby craft you need to buy a good pro saw like a dewalt or bosh sliding compoud miter saw they may cost more **** their worth the money they are very precise and will last a life time if taken care of .It will be worth the money when you get that perfect cut every time you use it,it will put the JOY and fun back in your projects and not to mention qualaty in your master pieces.
