NOTE: For dry cutting, leave water bottle installed to
prevent dust and debris from clogging the water supply
system.
CAUTION
Water bottle is designed for water only. Use of
any other fluid may cause damage to the tool.
WARNING
A 101.6 mm wheel is the maximum wheel capacity
of the saw. Also, never use a wheel that is too
thick to allow outer wheel washer to engage with
the flat on the spindle. Larger wheels will come
in contact with the wheel guards, while thicker
wheels will prevent wheel screw from securing
wheel on spindle. Either of these situations could
result in a serious accident.
WARNING
Do not use cutting wheels rated less than the
no load speed of this tool. Failure to heed this
warning could result in personal injury. Do not
use wheel with cracks, gaps, or teeth.
WARNING
Do not use toothed or segmented wheels. Use
only continuous rimmed diamond wheels suited
for masonry materials.

BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES
RYOBI 18 V lithium-ion batteries are designed with
features that protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize
battery life. Under some operating conditions, these
built-in features may cause the battery and the tool it is
powering to act differently from nickel-cadmium batteries.
During some applications, the battery electronics may
signal the battery to shut down, and cause the tool to stop
running. To reset the battery and tool, release the trigger
and resume normal operation.
NOTE: To prevent further shut down of the battery, avoid
forcing the tool.
If releasing the trigger does not reset the battery and tool,
the battery pack is depleted. If depleted, the battery pack
will begin charging when placed on the lithium-ion charger.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACK
See Figure 4.
Ŷ
Place the battery pack in the saw. Align the raised rib
on the battery pack with the groove inside the saw,
then slide the battery pack into the saw.
Ŷ
Make sure the latches on each side of your battery
pack snap into place and the battery pack is secured
in the saw before beginning operation.
