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 owner's operating manual and warranty registration are

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Your saw has a precision built Ryobi 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 voltage drop of more than 10 percent
will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your
tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-
check the power supply.
