How To Install Blade Guard On Ryobi Table Saw
Blade guards are essential safety devices for anyone who uses a power tool. The benefits include protection from injury and damage caused by blades. They also keep dust and debris out of the housing.
Setting Up The Ryobi Table Saw
Make sure you have all your tools before starting this project. A Phillips screwdriver and drill are essential, as well as a hammer and some extra screws.
-
Before you begin work, turn off the saw. You must ensure that there are no objects under the saw.
-
Remove the blade guard assembly by unbolting the four bolts. Remove the old blade guard by pulling it out.
-
Insert the new blade guard assembly by reattaching the four bolts.
-
Close the blade guard assembly by tightening the four bolts.
-
How Do I Set The Blade Angle?
Move the bevel locking lever, which is the part that locks the blade, to the right. Then slowly turn the blade adjustment handle clockwise until the blade is at an angle of about 30. When the blade is at this angle, the blade guard cant move.
-
To adjust the blade angle, turn the blade adjustment handle counterclockwise until the blade is parallel to the fence. This setting allows you to cut straight lines.
-
Gently grasp the blade adjusting handle in both your hands. Then, push the blade guard away. You should feel some resistance if the blade guard is too tight. You won’t feel resistance if the blade guard is not tight enough.
-
Adjust the blade to your desired angle by repeating Steps 2 and 3.

Safety Tips
Before you begin work, inspect the tool and make sure everything is in good working order.
Without proper eye protection Will Not Work
You must wear safety glasses or goggles when operating tools such as circular saws, band saws, jigsaws, etc. These tools all have rotating blades that may cause serious eye injuries.
Keep Fingers Outside the Blade Path
Use a power tool to keep your fingers out of the way of the spinning blade. Also, never place anything underneath the spinning blade.
Make Perfect Cuts Using Guard Strip
Make sure you use the guard strip provided by the manufacturer. This will prevent any accidents that may result from overshooting of the mark.
Always read the Instruction Manual Before Operating Your Tool
Before you use your tool, it is important that you read the entire manual. Many people dont bother reading manuals because they assume they already know what to do. Manuals are tailored to each tool model and can often save you money and time.
