RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
24.
NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE
ATMOSPHERE.
Normal sparking of the motor
could ignite flammable liquids, gases, or
fumes.
25.
INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY
and if damaged, have repaired by an
authorized service facility. Stay constantly
aware of cord location and keep it well away
from the rotating blade.
26.
INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS
PERIODICALLY
and replace if damaged.
27.
KEEP HANDLES DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE
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.
28.
STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL.
Watch what you are doing and use common
sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.
Do not rush.
29.
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 should
be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorized service center.
30.
DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT
TURN IT ON AND OFF.
Have switches
replaced by an authorized service center.
31.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS,
ALCOHOL, OR ANY MEDICATION.
32.
GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK.
Kickback
occurs when the blade stalls rapidly and the
plate joiner is driven in the direction opposite
blade rotation. Release switch immediately if
blade binds or joiner stalls.
33.
USE ONLY 4 INCH DIAMETER SPECIFIED
BLADES.
Do not use blades with incorrect
size holes. Never use blade washers or bolts
that are defective, incorrect, or not specified.
34.
AVOID CUTTING NAILS.
Inspect for and
remove all nails from lumber before cutting.
35.
NEVER
touch the blade or other moving parts
during use.
36.
NEVER
start a tool when the blade is in
contact with the workpiece.
37.
NEVER
lay a tool down before the blade has
come to a complete stop.
38.
POLARIZED PLUGS.
To reduce the risk of
electric 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.
39.
WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL
RYOBI REPLACEMENT PARTS.
40.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them
frequently and use them to instruct others
who may use this tool. If you loan someone
this tool, loan them these instructions also.
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.
