This document is a user manual for the RYOBI EMS1422LRG Compound Mitre Saw, providing original instructions for its safe operation, maintenance, and technical specifications.
Function Description:
The RYOBI EMS1422LRG is a compound mitre saw designed for precision cutting of various materials. Its primary function is to make accurate crosscuts, mitre cuts, and bevel cuts in solid wood, bonded wood, glued veneer, wood-like materials, and plastics. The saw is equipped with a laser guide to assist in precise cutting. It features a rotating table for mitre adjustments and a tilting saw head for bevel adjustments, allowing for compound cuts (simultaneous mitre and bevel cuts). The machine is intended for stationary use, ideally fixed to a workbench for stability.

Usage Features:
The manual outlines several key usage features and safety precautions:
- Work Area: Emphasizes keeping the work area clear, well-lit, and free from flammable liquids or gases. It also advises against using the tool in damp or wet locations and recommends using outdoor extension cords specifically marked for outdoor use when operating outdoors.
- Personal Safety: Stresses the importance of wearing personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, ear protectors, and a dust mask if operations create dust. It also advises against wearing loose clothing or jewelry and recommends non-skid footwear.
- Tool Handling: Users are instructed to secure workpieces with clamps or a vice, maintain proper footing and balance, and avoid overreaching. The handle lock must always be engaged when transporting the mitre saw.
- Dust Extraction: The saw is equipped for dust extraction, and users are advised to connect and properly use dust extraction and collecting equipment to mitigate health risks from dust.
- Laser Guide: The integrated laser guide (Class II laser product) aids in precise cutting. Users are warned not to stare directly into the laser beam or project it into others' eyes, and to avoid using optical tools to view the beam. The laser device should not be repaired or modified by the user.
- Adjustments: The saw allows for various adjustments:
- Mitre Angle: The saw table can be rotated to achieve mitre cuts from 0° to 45° in both left and right directions. Specific detents are often provided for common angles like 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, and 45°.
- Bevel Angle: The saw head can be tilted for bevel cuts, typically from 0° to 45°. The manual illustrates adjustments for 0° and 45° bevels.
- Workpiece Support: The saw includes extensions and clamps to support long workpieces and secure them during cutting. An auxiliary fence is recommended for thin stock layered on edge.
- Operation Sequence: The manual provides step-by-step visual guides for common operations, including:
- Unpacking and assembly of components like side supports, clamps, and the dust bag.
- Adjusting the mitre angle (e.g., to 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, 45°).
- Adjusting the bevel angle (e.g., to 0° or 45°).
- Securing the workpiece.
- Engaging the saw and making cuts, with illustrations showing the saw head lowering and retracting.
- Using the laser guide for alignment.
- Power Connection: Users are reminded to ensure the switch is in the "off" position before plugging in the machine and to only plug it in when the machine is switched off.
Maintenance Features:
The manual emphasizes regular maintenance for safe and efficient operation:
- Tool Condition: Users should periodically inspect the tool, cable, and plug for damage or material fatigue. Any damaged parts, especially guards or switches, must be repaired or replaced by an authorized service center.
- Blade Maintenance: Cutting tools should be kept sharp and clean. Saw blades must be suitable for the material being cut, properly sharpened, and correspond to the key data in the instructions. Damaged or deformed blades should not be used and must be replaced. Only flanges supplied or indicated in the manual should be used to secure the blade.
- Cleaning: The work area, including the floor, should be kept free of loose material, chips, and cut-offs. Dust and splinters should not be removed while the machine is running. A dust extractor should be used for thorough cleaning of deposited dust.
- Lubrication: Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
- Adjustments and Calibration: The manual includes procedures for checking and adjusting critical angles:
- 90° Mitre Adjustment: Instructions are provided to check and adjust the 90° mitre stop using a square, ensuring the blade is perpendicular to the fence.
- 90° Bevel Adjustment: Procedures for checking and adjusting the 90° bevel stop are detailed, ensuring the blade is perpendicular to the table.
- 45° Bevel Adjustment: Instructions for checking and adjusting the 45° bevel stop are also included.
- Storage: When not in use, the tool should be stored in a dry, locked-up place, out of reach of children.
- Disconnection: Always disconnect the plug from the socket before carrying out any work on the machine or changing accessories.
- Professional Repair: Any repairs, especially to the laser device or electrical components, should only be carried out by qualified persons using original spare parts or an authorized service agent.
- Environmental Protection: The manual encourages recycling raw materials and proper disposal of electrical waste, advising users to check with local authorities or retailers for recycling advice.
