Ryobi MS181 warranty Support Long Workpieces

OPERATION

■Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation just to make sure that no problems will occur when the cut is made.

■Grasp the saw handle firmly, depress the lock-off button, then squeeze the switch trigger. Allow sev- eral seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.

■Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece. See Figures 36 and 37.

■Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece.

SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES

See Figure 38.

Long workpieces need extra supports. Supports should be placed along the workpiece so it does not sag. The support should let the workpiece lay flat on the base of the saw and work table during the cutting operation. Use the work clamp or a C-clamp to secure the workpiece.

WARNING:

To avoid serious personal injury, always keep your hands outside the no hands zone; at least 3 in.

(8 cm) from blade. Never perform any cutting operation freehand (without holding workpiece against the fence). The blade could grab the workpiece if it slips or twists.
