■

Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off.

Any power

tool that cannot be controlled with the

switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

■

Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories or
storing power tools.

Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting

the power tool accidentally.

■

Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of

untrained users.

■

Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power
tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use.

Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained

power tools.

■

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind

and are easier to control.

■

Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc, in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
be performed.

Use of the power tool for

operations different from those intended

could result in a hazardous situation.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

■

Recharge only with the charger
specified by the manufacturer.

A charger

that is suitable for one type of battery pack

may create a risk of fire when used with

another battery pack.

■

Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs.

Use of any

other battery packs may create a risk of

injury and fire.

■

When battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects, like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal

to another.

Shorting the battery terminals

together may cause burns or a fire.

■

Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the battery; avoid
contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water.

If liquid contacts eyes,

additionally seek medical help.

■

Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.

SERVICE

■

Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts

. This will

ensure that safety of the power tool is

maintained.

which are not specified by Ryobi in this

manual. This includes the use of metal

multi-piece pivoting chains and flail-blades.
