Ŷ Provide adequate support such as table extensions,
saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or
longer than the table top.
Workpieces longer or
wider than the mitre saw table can tip if not securely
supported. If the cut-off piece or workpiece tips, it can
lift the lower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.
Ŷ Do not use another person as a substitute for a
table extension or as additional support.
Unstable
support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind
or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation
pulling you and the helper into the spinning blade.
Ŷ The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed
by any means against the spinning saw blade.
If
confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could
get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.
Ŷ Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to
properly support round material such as rods or
tubing.
Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut,
causing the blade to “bite” and pull the work with your
hand into the blade.
Ŷ Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the
workpiece.
This will reduce the risk of the workpiece
being thrown.
Ŷ If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the
mitre saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop and
disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack. Then work to free the
jammed material.
Continued sawing with a jammed
workpiece could cause loss of control or damage to the
mitre saw.
Ŷ After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the
saw head down and wait for the blade to stop before
removing the cut-off piece.
Reaching with your hand
near the coasting blade is dangerous.
Ŷ Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete
cut or when releasing the switch before the saw
head is completely in the down position.
The
braking action of the saw may cause the saw head to
be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR THE STAND
(LSG ONLY)
Ŷ The stand is designed only for the RYOBI EMS254L
Sliding Compact Mitre Saw. Do not attach any other
power tool to the stand. Do not use the stand in any
way other than what is stated in the instructions.
Ŷ Set up the stand on a firm level surface. A smooth
surface (tiles or wood) may cause the feet to skid
during operation. Wherever possible site the stand on
concrete or similar non slip surface.
Ŷ Follow the instructions for mounting the tool carefully,
see graphics later in this manual. An improperly
mounted tool will increase the risk of serious personal
injury.
Ŷ Make sure that all bolts and connecting elements of the
stand are securely tightened. Improper assembly may
result in the collapse of the stand. Frequently check the
tightness of the bolts.
Ŷ Always balance the load to prevent the stand from
tipping over. If the work piece is too long, use another
means of support to balance the load. Support the work
piece before making the cut to ensure that the load on
both sides of the cut is balanced.
Ŷ Do not use the stand to climb on, or use as a platform to
reach heights. Do not place heavy items on this stand.
Ŷ Do not use any attachments or accessories not
recommended by the manufacturer of the product. This
practice can result in serious personal injury.

blade. Ensure the speed marked on the saw blade is at
least equal to the speed marked on the saw.
Ŷ Always use blades with correct size and shape of
arbour holes. Blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss
of control.
Ŷ Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than
recommended. Do not use any spacers to make the
blade fit onto the spindle.
Ŷ Check the tips of the saw blade for damage or abnormal
appearance before each use. Tips that are damaged or
loose can become flying objects in use and increase the
chance of personal injury.
Ŷ Do not use cracked or distorted saw blades. Do not use
saw blades that are damaged or deformed.
Ŷ Scrap the saw blade if damaged, deformed, distorted or
cracked, repairing is not permitted.
