FROM OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean
cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products or any strong
solvents to clean your tool.
29.
STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing and
use common sense. Do not operate tool when
you are tired. Do not rush.
30.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use
of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it
will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged must be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center unless indicated
elsewhere in this instruction manual.

erate tool while under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or any medication.
34.
WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL
RYOBI REPLACEMENT PARTS.
35.
POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other). This plug will
fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician
to install the proper outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way.
36.
DO NOT USE TOOL UNDER “BROWNOUT”
OR OTHER LOW VOLTAGE CONDITIONS.
Also, do not use with any device that could cause
the power supply voltage to change.
37.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Review them
frequently and use them to instruct others who
may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool,
loan them these instructions also.
The operation of any laminate trimmer can result in foreign objects being thrown into
your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool
operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face
shield when needed. We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses
or standard safety glasses with side shields.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
