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.
An 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.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Your saw has a precision built electric motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC
only (normal household current). 
Do not operate this tool
on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause
a loss of power and the motor will over heat. If your tool does
not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the
power supply.
