RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
WARNING:
Wheel coasts after turn off.
■
NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. Normal
sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.
■
INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and if
damaged, have repaired at your nearest Ryobi Authorized
Service Centre. 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
authorized service center.
■
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.
■
B E F O R E M A K I N G A C U T, B E S U R E A L L
ADJUSTMENTS ARE SECURE.
■
ALWAYS USE THE VICE CLAMP to secure the workpiece.
■
NEVER TOUCH WHEEL or other moving parts during use.
■
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 vice.
■
NEVER hand hold a workpiece. Workpiece will become
very hot while being cut.
■
NEVER reach behind, under, or within three inches 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
POSITIONS
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 Authorized Service
Centre.
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product
damage.
■
IF ANY PART OF THIS CUT-OFF MACHINE IS MISSING
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.
■
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 tighten
wheel excessively, since this can cause cracks.
■
CHECK THE WHEEL FOR FISSURES AND CRACKS,
and test for normal operation prior to use.
■
ONLY USE A CUT-OFF WHEEL RATED FOR 4800min
1
OR GREATER
Always store wheels in a dry place with little temperature
variation.
■
ALWAYS EASE THE ABRASIVE WHEEL AGAINST THE
WORK PIECE
when starting to cut. A harsh impact can
break the wheel.
■
BEFORE CUTTING, press the trigger switch and allow the
cut-off wheel to reach full speed before cutting.
■
MAKE SURE THE WORK AREA HAS AMPLE
LIGHTING to see the work and that no obstructions will
interfere with safe operation BEFORE performing any work
using your cut-off machine.
■
DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UNDER
THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY
MEDICATION.
■
ALWAYS STAY ALERT ! Do not allow familiarity (gained
from frequent use of your cut-off machine) to cause a
careless mistake.
ALWAYS REMEMBER that a careless
fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
