SYMBOLS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols, and the
explanations with them, deserve your careful attention and understanding. The safety warnings do not by themselves
eliminate any danger. The instructions or warnings they give are not substitutes for proper accident prevention
measures.
SYMBOL MEANING
DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious
injury.
WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices that may cause property damage.
NOTE: Advises you of information or instructions vital to the operation or maintenance of the equipment.
ELECTRICAL
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire
grounded power cord. 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 authorized service center for repair.
When servicing, use only identical Ryobi replacement
parts.
WARNING:
The double insulated system is intended to protect
the user from shock resulting from a break in the
tool's internal wiring. Observe all normal safety
precautions related to avoiding electrical shock.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The power planer has a precision built 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 substantial voltage drop 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.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of
power. To keep the loss to a minimum and to prevent tool
overheating, use an extension cord that is heavy enough
to carry the current the tool will draw.
A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended
for an extension cord 100 feet or less in length. When
working outdoors, use an extension cord that is suitable
for outdoor use. This type of cord is designated with “WA”
on the cord’s jacket.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged
replace them immediately. Never use tool with a
damaged cord with this tool. Touching the damaged
area could cause serious injury due to electrical
shock.
