RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols, and the
explanations with them, deserve your careful attention and understanding. The safety warnings do not by
themselves eliminate any danger. The instructions or warnings they give are not substitutes for proper accident
prevention measures.

   SYMBOL

MEANING

SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL:

Indicates caution or warning. May be used in conjunction with other symbols or pictographs.

DANGER: Failure to obey a safety warning will result in serious injury to yourself or to others. Always
follow the safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.

WARNING: Failure to obey a safety warning can result in serious injury to yourself or to others. Always

NOTE:

Advises you of information or instructions vital to the operation or maintenance of the equipment.

IMPORTANT

Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should
be performed only by a qualified service technician.
For service we suggest you return the tool to your
nearest RYOBI AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER for
repair. When servicing use only identical Ryobi
replacement parts.

DOUBLE INSULATION

Double insulation is a concept in safety, in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire
grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated
from the internal metal motor components with protecting
insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.

DANGER:

To avoid serious personal injury, keep hands out of
blade path.

WARNING:

The double insulated system is intended to protect the
user from shock resulting from a break in the tool's
internal wiring. Observe all normal safety precautions
related to avoiding electrical shock.

WARNING:

Do not attempt to operate this tool until you have read
thoroughly and understand completely all instructions,
safety rules, etc. contained in this manual. Failure to
comply can result in accidents involving fire, electric
shock, or serious personal injury. Save owner's manual
and review frequently for continuing safe operation, and
instructing others who may use this tool.
