Positioning The Workpiece - Ryobi RMS-1525 Operator's Manual

5. NOTE
The laser marker will be ready to use as soon as the mitre saw reaches a rotation speed of 2,000 RPM. A red line will then
appear on the workpiece. This laser line on or beside your mark-out line will enable you to align your workpiece for accurate
cutting.
6.

POSITIONING THE WORKPIECE

Note:
While cutting, always use protective devices for your eyes and ears.
ALWAYS leave the powerhead in the "raised" position when positioning the workpiece. (Please use the powerhead
locking mechanism.)
1. The laser line is always SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT of the point of entry of the blade in the workpiece.
2. Clamp the workpiece to the table and turn on the mitre saw in order to activate the laser marker.
3. In order to achieve maximum accuracy, align the laser line with the mark-out line or place it right next to it and parallel
with it.
4. When both lines are aligned as required (either superimposed or next to each other, depending on the desired result),
clamp down the workpiece in this position, until the cutting process is completely finished.
Note:
In order to get used to working with your new Ryobi laser marker, first carry out various test cuts with different materials
and different thickness.
The Ryobi laser marker enables you to continue using your mitre saw in the usual way while significantly improving
the precision of the cuts.
7. POSITIONING EXAMPLES
Position 1: Obliterating the mark-out line (see Fig. 6):
Position the mark-out line drawn on the workpiece next to the right edge of the laser beam in order to obliterate the mark-
out line.

Position 2: Cutting on the mark-out line (see Fig. 7):
In order to cut on the mark-out line drawn on the workpiece, position the laser beam on top of this line.

Position 3: Leaving the mark-out line (see Fig. 8):
Position the mark-out line drawn on the workpiece next to the left edge of the laser beam in order to leave it on the workpiece
for future reference.

Once you have got used to working with your new Ryobi laser marker, you will be able to switch from one position to another
(1-2-3) with ease, as required. You will be astonished to find out how fast and easy it is to work with your new Ryobi laser
marker, thereby optimising your work and increasing your precision.
8. MALFUNCTION
The batteries need to be changed when the laser beam looses intensity (brightness) or stops functioning altogether (refer
to the "Battery Replacement" section for more information). If the laser marker does not resume its proper operation once
the batteries have been changed, please contact an authorised Ryobi service centre. If the laser beam lights up while
the mitre saw is in its resting position (i.e. without rotation of the saw blade) a malfunction exists. Carefully remove one
of the batteries from the laser marker to deactivate the laser beam, then contact an authorised Ryobi service centre.
