RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
REPLACEMENT PARTS. All repairs, whether
electrical or mechanical, should be made at your
nearest authorized service center.
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replace-
ment parts. Use of any other parts may create a
hazard or cause product damage.
NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMO-
SPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could
ignite fumes.
NEVER leave the miter saw unattended while
connected to a power source.
POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this charger has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other). This charger
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.
IF ANY PART OF THIS MITER SAW IS MISS-
ING or should break, bend, or fail in any way, or
should any electrical component fail to perform
properly, release switch trigger, remove the
battery pack and have damaged, missing, or
failed parts replaced before resuming operation.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UN-
DER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL,
OR ANY MEDICATION.
ALWAYS STAY ALERT! Do not allow familiarity
(gained from frequent use of your saw) to cause
a careless mistake. ALWAYS REMEMBER that
a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to
inflict severe injury.
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.
MAKE SURE THE WORK AREA HAS AMPLE
LIGHTING to see the work and that no obstruc-
tions will interfere with safe operation BEFORE
performing any work using your saw.
IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES FOR BATTERY
TOOLS
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. Be aware of possible
hazards when not using your battery tool or
when changing accessories.
Remove battery pack from tool or make sure
the switch is in the lock-off position before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, storing the tool or when not in
use. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from metal objects like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws, other small metal objects
as well as necklaces, chains, rings etc. that
can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
Use battery operated tool only with
specifically designated battery pack. Use of
any other batteries may create a risk of fire. Use
only the battery pack listed.
USE ONLY THE CHARGER PROVIDED WITH
YOUR BATTERY TOOL. Do not substitute any
other charger. Use of another charger could
cause batteries to explode causing possible
serious injury.
DO NOT PLACE BATTERY TOOLS OR THEIR
BATTERIES NEAR FIRE OR HEAT. Batteries
vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the
presence of heat or a source of ignition, such as
a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, never use any cordless product in
the presence of open flame. An exploded battery
can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed,
wash immediately with soap and water and
neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar.
DO NOT CHARGE BATTERY TOOL IN A
DAMP OR WET LOCATION.
Your battery tool should be charged in a location
where the temperature is more than 50°F (10°C)
but less than 100°F (37°C).
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in
contact with your skin, wash immediately with
soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice
or vinegar. If liquid gets in your eyes, flush them
with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then
seek immediate medical attention.
If carrying your battery tool at your side, make
sure it is not running and your finger is not on the
switch. Avoid accidental starting.
WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL
RYOBI REPLACEMENT PARTS.
