Led Worklight; Operating The Saw - Ryobi CSB142LZ Manuel D'utilisation

 Plug the tool into a power supply and press the laser guide
button to activate the laser.
 Start the motor.
NOTE: Do not touch the blade to the workpiece until the
saw has reached maximum speed.
 Slowly push the saw forward into the workpiece.
NOTE: Keep the laser beam on the marked line on the
workpiece for precision cutting.
 Once the cut is complete, allow the saw to come to a
complete stop before turning off the laser.

LED WORKLIGHT

See Figure 15, page 19.
Depress the LED worklight button to turn the LED light ON
or OFF. Always turn the light off when the saw is not in use.

OPERATING THE SAW

See Figures 16 - 18, pages 19 - 20.
It is important to understand the correct method for operat-
ing the saw. Refer to the figures in this section to learn the
correct and incorrect ways for handling the saw.
WARNING:
To make sawing easier and safer, always maintain proper
control of the saw. Loss of control could cause an ac-
cident resulting in possible serious injury.
DANGER:
When lifting the saw from the workpiece, the blade is
exposed on the underside of the saw until the lower blade
guard closes. Make sure the lower blade guard is closed
before setting the saw down.
To make the best possible cut:
 Hold the saw firmly with both hands.
 Avoid placing your hand on the workpiece while making
a cut.
 Support the workpiece so that the cut is always on your
right.
 Support the workpiece near the cut.
 Clamp the workpiece securely so that the workpiece will
not move during the cut.
 Avoid placing the saw on the part of the workpiece that
will fall off when the cut is made.
 Place the workpiece with the "good" side down.
 Draw a guideline along the desired line of cut before
beginning your cut.
OPERATION
 Keep the cord away from the cutting area. Always place
the cord to prevent it from hanging up on the workpiece
while making a cut.
DANGER:
If the cord hangs up on the workpiece during a cut,
release the switch trigger immediately and allow the
blade to come to a complete stop. Unplug the saw and
reposition the cord to prevent it from hanging up again.
DANGER:
Using a saw with a damaged cord could result in serious
injury or death. If the cord has been damaged, have it
replaced before using the saw again.
LENGTH OF CUT SCALE
See Figure 19, page 20.
The saw is equipped with a length of cut scale on its base.
It is parallel with the saw blade and can be used to measure
the distance into the material the blade cuts.
NOTE: Six inches is the maximum length of cut that you can
measure. Also, it is accurate only when the depth of cut is
set at full maximum depth.
CROSS CUTTING/RIP CUTTING
See Figures 20 - 21, page 20.
When making a cross cut or rip cut, align the line of cut with
the outer blade guide notch on the base as shown in the figure.
Since blade thicknesses vary, always make a trial cut in scrap
material along a guideline to determine how much, if any,
you must offset the guideline to produce an accurate cut.
NOTE: The distance from the line of cut to the guideline is
the amount you should offset the guide.
To rip cut without edge guide:
Use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts with the saw.
 Secure the workpiece.
 Clamp a straight edge to the workpiece using
C-clamps.
 Saw along the straight edge to achieve a straight rip cut.
NOTE: Do not bind the blade in the cut.
To rip cut with edge guide:
 Secure the workpiece.
 Position the face of the edge guide firmly against the edge
of workpiece.
 Guide the saw along the edge to achieve a straight rip
cut.
NOTE: The guiding edge of the workpiece must be
straight for the cut to be straight. Use caution to prevent
the blade from binding in the cut.
