TABLE OF CONTENTS
DOUBLE INSULATION
Your Ryobi power tool is double insulated. This means
you are separated from the tool's electrical system by
two complete sets of electrical insulation. This extra layer
of insulation is intended to protect the user from electrical
shock due to a break in the wiring insulation. All exposed
metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor
components with protecting insulation. Double insulated
tools do not need to be grounded.
IMPORTANT
Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should
be performed only by a qualified service technician. For
service we suggest you return the tool to your nearest
RYOBI AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER for repair.
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement
parts.

manual. Failure to comply can result in accidents
involving fire, electric shock, or serious personal
injury. Save operator's manual and review frequently
for continuing safe operation, and instructing others
who may use this tool.
