SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
Warning
When using electric tools, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
Read all these instructions before attempting to
operate this tool and save these instructions.
■ Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches
invite injuries.
■ Consider work area environment. Do not expose
power tools to rain. Do not use power tools in damp
or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Do not use
power tools near flammable liquids or gases.
■ Guard against electric shock. Avoid body contact
with grounded surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, ranges,
refrigerators).
■ Keep children away. Do not let visitors touch the tool
or extension cord. All visitors should be kept away
from the work area.
■ Store idle tools. When not in use, tools should be
stored in a dry, high, or locked-up place, out of the
reach of children.
■ Do not force the tool. It will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was intended.
■ Use the right tool. Do not force small tools to do the
job of heavy-duty tools. Do not use tools for purposes
not intended. For example, do not use a circular saw
for cutting tree limbs or logs.
■ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery that can get caught in moving parts. Rubber
gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended
when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering
to contain long hair.
■ Use safety glasses. Also use a face or dust mask if
the cutting operation is dusty.
■ Do not abuse the cord. Never carry the tool by the
cord or yank it to disconnect it from the socket.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
■ Secure work. Use clamps or a vice to hold the work
piece. It is safer than using your hand and it frees
both hands to operate the tool.
■ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
■ Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean
for better and safer performance. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool
cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired
by a qualified technician at an Authorised Ryobi
Service Centre. Inspect extension cords periodically
and replace them if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean
and free from oil and grease.
■ Disconnect tools. Your tool must be disconnected
when not in use, before servicing, and when changing
accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.
■ Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Get into the
habit of checking to see that adjusting keys and
wrenches are removed from the tool before turning it on.
■ Avoid unintentional starting. Do not carry the
plugged-in tool with a finger on the variable switch.
Make sure the switch is off when plugging it in.
■ Use appropriate extension cords. When the tool is
used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for
outdoor use.
■ Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate the tool when you are tired.
■ Check for damaged parts. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to ensure that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment
of moving parts. Check that no part is bound or
broken. Check the mounting and any other condition
that may affect tool operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorised service centre unless
otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instructions
manual. Have defective switches replaced by an
Authorised Ryobi Service Centre. Do not use the tool
if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Warning
The use of any accessory or attachment other
than those recommended in this user's manual
may present a risk of personal injury.
■ Have your tools repaired by a qualified technician.
This tool complies with the relevant safety rules for
electric tools. To avoid all risks of injury, do not attempt
to repair it yourself. Have it repaired by a qualified
technician in an Authorised Ryobi Service Centre.
■ Connect the dust extraction device. Wherever
there are facilities for fitting a dust extraction system,
make sure it is properly connected and correctly
used.
