DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual
WARNING:
The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool's internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precau- tions to avoid electrical shock.
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. Always use only original factory replacement parts when servicing.

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.
EXTENSION CORDS
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a tool, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is designated with "WA" on the cord's jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

WARNING:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Posi- tion the cord so that it will not become entangled in the rotating foam pad or caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are working with the tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged re- place immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
