WARNING:
Wheel coasts after turn off.
NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE.
Normal sparking of the motor or sparking from cutting
metal could ignite fumes.
INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY
and if
damaged, have repaired at your nearest Ryobi Authorised
Service Center. Stay constantly aware of cord location
and keep it well away from the rotating wheel.
USE OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORDS.
When tool is
used outdoors, use only extension cords with approved
ground connection that are intended for use outdoors
and so marked.
DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT
ON AND OFF.
Have defective switches replaced by an
authorised Ryobi service agent.
KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM OIL AND
GREASE.
Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never
use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or
any solvents to clean tool.
ALWAYS SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES.
To minimize
risk of tipping machine, always support long workpieces.
BEFORE MAKING
A CUT, BE SURE
ALL
ADJUSTMENTS ARE SECURE.
ALWAYS USE THE VISE CLAMP
to secure the
workpiece.
NEVER TOUCH WHEEL
or other moving parts during
use.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
DO NOT REMOVE THE MACHINE'S WHEEL GUARDS.
Never operate the machine with any guard or cover
removed. Make sure all guards are operating properly
before each use.
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA.
Keep
hands away from wheel. Do not reach underneath work
or around or under the wheel while the wheel is rotating.
Do not attempt to remove cut material while wheel is
moving.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS.
Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged must be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorised Ryobi
service agent to avoid risk of personal injury.
NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN
THE POWER OFF.
Do not leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
NEVER START THE CUT-OFF MACHINE WHEN THE
WHEEL IS IN CONTACT WITH THE WORKPIECE.
NEVER
cut more than one workpiece at a time.
DO NOT
STACK
more than one workpiece on the machine base
at a time.
NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION "FREEHAND".
Always secure the workpiece to be cut in the vise.
NEVER
hand hold a workpiece. Workpiece will become
very hot while being cut.
NEVER
reach behind, under, or within 75mm of the
wheel and its cutting path with your hands and fingers
for any reason.
NEVER
reach to pick up a workpiece, a piece of scrap,
or anything else that is in or near the cutting path of the
wheel.
AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSI-
TIONS
where a sudden slip could cause your hand to
move into the wheel.
ALWAYS
make sure you have good
balance.
NEVER
stand or have any part of your body in line with
the path of the wheel.
ALWAYS
release the power switch and allow the wheel
to stop rotating before raising it out of the workpiece.
DO NOT TURN THE MOTOR SWITCH ON AND OFF
RAPIDLY.
This could cause the wheel to loosen and could
create a hazard. Should this ever occur, stand clear and
allow the wheel to come to a complete stop. Disconnect
your cut-off machine from the power supply and securely
retighten the wheel arbor bolt.
REPLACEMENT PARTS.
All repairs, whether electrical
or mechanical, should be made at a Ryobi Authorised
Service Centre.
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.
NEVER
leave the cut-off machine unattended while con-
nected to a power source.
IF ANY PART OF THIS CUT-OFF MACHINE IS MISS-
ING
or should break, bend, or fail in any way, or should
any electrical component fail to perform properly, shut
off the power switch, remove the machine plug from the
power source and have damaged, missing, or failed parts
replaced before resuming operation.
WARNING:
tighten wheel excessively, since this can cause cracks.
MAKE SURE THE CUT-OFF WHEEL IS SECURELY
MOUNTED
as described in the operating instructions
before connecting the tool to a power supply. Do not
CHECK THE WHEEL FOR FISSURES AND CRACKS,
and test for normal operation prior to use.
