FEATURES
SWITCH
See Figure 2.
Your saw is equipped with an On/Off Switch for starting and
stopping the engine. You must slide the switch forward to the
ON (I) position in order to allow for the engine to be started
when pulling starter rope. Slide the switch back to OFF (0)
position to stop engine.
LOCK-OFF LEVER
See Figure 2.
Your saw is also equipped with a Lock-Off Lever to prevent
accidental depression of the switch trigger. You must depress
the lock-off lever in order to depress the switch trigger when
starting saw.
LOCK-ON BUTTON
See Figure 2.
Your saw is equipped with a lock-on feature, which is
convenient when continuous cutting for extended periods of
time is required. To lock-on, depress the lock-off lever,
depress the switch trigger, push in and hold the lock-on
button located on the side of the handle, then release switch
trigger. Release "lock-on" button and your saw will continue
running.
To release the lock, depress the switch trigger and release
it. DO NOT lock the trigger on heavy jobs where your saw
may have to be stopped quickly.
WARNING:
When using your saw with the switch lock-on, keep
your finger near the trigger and be prepared to
disengage the "lock-on" feature at all times. Failure
to do so could result in loss of control leading to
possible serious injury.
If you have the "lock-on" feature engaged during use and your
saw runs out of gasoline, disengage the "lock-on" feature
immediately.
WARNING:
Before connecting your saw to power supply source,
always check to be sure it is not in "Lock-on" position
(depress and release switch trigger). Failure to do so
could result in accidental starting of saw resulting in
possible serious injury. Also, do not lock the trigger
on jobs where your saw may need to be stopped
suddenly.
VARIABLE SPEED
See Figure 2.
Operator control and adjustment of speed and power is
controlled by the switch trigger. The speed and power of your
saw can be increased or decreased by the amount of switch
trigger depression.
WARNING:
The engine of your saw should never be running
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
installing or removing blades, when cleaning, or
when not in use. Stopping the saw's engine and
letting it cool will prevent accidental contact with the
blade, muffler, etc. that could cause serious injury.
Disconnect the spark plug to make sure the saw will
not start.
BLADE SELECTION
To obtain the best performance from your saw it is important
to select a specific blade for the particular application and
type of material you wish to cut. By doing this you will get a
smoother faster cut and prolong blade life. Replacement
blades for this saw are available from your nearest Ryobi
dealer.
