Using The Laser Guide - Ryobi EMS2431SCL Owner's Operation Manual

Fit the vice(12) to the retaining hole that best suits
the cutting application. There are two retaining
holes (A) on each side of the saw. (Fig.10)
Tighten the thumbscrew(B) on the saw. (Fig.10)
Put the workpiece to be cut onto the mitre table.
Adjust the vice(12) so that it securely holds the
workpiece.
Use a pencil to mark the line of cut on the
workpiece.
Adjust the mitre angle and/or the bevel angle of
the saw as required.
Switch on the laser ON/OFF switch (1) (Fig.1)
Lay the workpiece on the mitre table against the
fence(13) and adjust its position until the pencil
mark is aligned on the laser line.
Clamp the workpiece (refer to section "clamping
the workpiece")
BEFORE MAKE A CUT
Inspect your workpiece. Make sure there are no
nails or foreign objects in the workpiece to be cut.
CAUTION:
Because of the sliding action of this saw, this
machine is not designed for cutting metals. Use this
mitre saw to cut only wood and wood like products.
Other materials may shatter, bind on the blade, start
fire or create other dangers.
BODY AND HAND POSITION
Never place hands near cutting area. Place hand
at least 100mm from path of blade.
Hold workpiece firmly to the fence to prevent
movement toward the blade.
When holding the work piece to the left side of the
blade, always use your left hand. Use your right
hand to hold the work piece to the right side of
the blade.
Before making a cut, make a "dry run" with the
power off so you can see the path of the blade.
Keep hands in position until trigger has been
released and the blade has completely stopped.
WARNING:
Before starting any cutting operation, clamp or bolt

OPERATIONS
NOTE: A small piece of scrap timber can be used
between the clamp and the workpiece to distribute
the clamping force more evenly. This will reduce
the risk of marking the workpiece (especially if it is
softwood) with the vice.
Make a Cut (ref to section" basic saw operation")
After completing the cut, switch off the laser.
CAUTION: Do not stare directly at the laser beam;
Never aim the beam at any person or an object other
than the workpiece. Always ensure the laser beam
is aimed at a sturdy workpiece without reflective
surfaces.
the compound mitre saw to a workbench. Never
operate the mitre saw on the floor or in a crouched
position. Failure to heed this warning can result in
serious personal injury.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always tighten the
mitre lock handle securely before making a cut.
Failure to do so could result in movement of the
control arm or mitre table while making a cut.
WARNING:
When using a work clamp or C-clamp to secure
the workpiece, clamp workpiece on one side of the
blade only. The workpiece must remain free on one
side of the blade to prevent the blade from binding
in workpiece. The workpiece binding the blade will
cause motor stalling and kickback. This situating
could cause an accident resulting in possible serious
personal injury.
CROSS-CUTTING (WITH SLIDE ACTION) (Fig. 12)
A mitre angle of up to 55° left or right can be
obtained using this saw.
Pull out the lock down pin(14) and lift the saw
head to its maximum height
Loosen the mitre lock knob(9).
