RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
WARNING:
Remove all fences and auxiliary tables before
transporting saw. Failure to do so can result in an
accident causing possible serious personal injury.
29. 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.
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 to avoid risk of personal injury.
31. DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT
ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by an
authorized service center.
32. GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK. Kickback occurs when
the blade stalls rapidly and workpiece is driven back
towards the operator. It can pull your hand into the blade
resulting in serious personal injury. Stay out of blade
path and turn switch off immediately if blade binds or
stalls.
33. USE RIP FENCE. Always use a fence or straight edge
guide when ripping.
34. SUPPORT LARGE PANELS. To minimize risk of blade
pinching and kickback, always support large panels.
35. BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL
ADJUSTMENTS ARE SECURE.
36. USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Do not use blades
with incorrect size holes. Never use blade washers or
bolts that are defective or incorrect. The maximum blade
capacity of your saw is 10 in. (254 mm).
37. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury.
38. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur
if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally
contacted.
39. USE THE RIGHT DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work
into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of
blade or cutter only.
40. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
41. AVOID CUTTING NAILS. Inspect for and remove all
nails from lumber before cutting.
42. NEVER TOUCH BLADE or other moving parts during
use.
43. NEVER START A TOOL WHEN ANY ROTATING
COMPONENT IS IN CONTACT WITH THE
WORKPIECE.
44. DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY
MEDICATION.
45. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If tool is equipped with three-
prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole
electrical receptacle.
46. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them
frequently and use to instruct other users. If you loan
someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.
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.
