Ryobi RDP102L, Manual

Page: 11 / 392

Safety, performance, and dependability have been
given top priority in the design of your drill press.
INTENDED USE
The drill press is intended for drilling holes in wood,
plastics, aluminium and steel.
The drill press is to be used only by adult operators who
have read the instruction manual and understand the
risks and hazards.
The drill press is designed to be
fi xed at the base to a
solid bench top. If the base is not securely fi xed, the
whole machine has a tendency to tip over, slide, or
walk on the supporting surface during operations, which
increases the possibility of serious personal injury.
The drill press is to be used in dry conditions, with
excellent ambient lighting and adequate ventilation.
The drill press is intended for consumer use and should
only be used as described above and is not intended for
any other purpose.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with this
power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
■
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
■
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
■
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
■
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
■
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
■
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
■
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
■
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
■
If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk
of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
■
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
■
Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
■
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off -position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
■
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
■
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
■
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
■
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
■
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles.
A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
■
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application.
The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
