UNPACKING

Your saw has been shipped completely assembled and
ready for use. Inspect it carefully to make sure no breakage
or damage has occurred during shipping. If any parts are
damaged or missing, contact your nearest Ryobi dealer to
obtain replacement parts before attempting to operate saw.
A blade pack, spark plug wrench, 4 mm hex key, operator's
manual, and warranty registration are also included.

KNOW YOUR RECIPROCATING SAW

Before attempting to use your saw, familiarize yourself with all
operating features and safety requirements. 

See Figure 1.

FEATURES

WARNING:

If any parts are missing, do not operate your saw until the missing parts are replaced. Failure to do so could result
in possible serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Do not allow familiarity with your saw to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a
second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
