To replace the blade angle knob on a Ryobi RTS10:

1. Remove the Handle – If necessary, remove the handle to access the bevel adjustment components.
2. Loosen the Adjustment Screw – Locate and loosen the adjustment screw and the bevel locking lever.
3. Replace the Knob – Remove the old blade angle knob and install the new one.
4. Adjust the Bevel Indicator – Ensure the bevel indicator is properly aligned to zero or 45° by using a combination square.
5. Secure the Components – Tighten the adjustment screw and bevel locking lever to lock the new knob in place.
6. Test the Adjustment – Turn the handle to verify smooth operation and correct angle settings.

This ensures proper alignment and functionality of the new blade angle knob.
