When servicing, use only identical Ryobi replacement parts. Use of any other part may create a hazard, cause product damage or create a risk of serious personal injury.

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

WARNING:

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic and create a risk of serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories not recommended for use with this tool. Any such alteration or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious personal injury.

IMPORTANT

Servicing 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. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.

BATTERIES

The battery pack for this saw is equipped with 15 nickel-cadmium rechargeable battery cells. Length of service from each charging will depend on the type of work you are doing.

The battery cells have been designed to provide maximum trouble free life. However, like all batteries, they will eventually wear out. Do not disassemble battery pack and attempt to replace the battery cells. Handling of these batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry, could result in a serious burn and possible explosion.

To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:

■Store and charge your battery pack in a cool area. Temperatures above or below normal room temperature will shorten battery life.

■Never store battery pack in a discharged condition. Recharge them immediately after they are discharged.

■All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature the quicker they lose their charge. If you store your tool for long periods of time without using it, recharge the batteries every month or two. This practice will prolong battery life.

To preserve natural resources, please recycle or dispose of batteries properly.

This product contains nickel-

cadmium batteries. Local, state or

federal laws may prohibit disposal of nickel-cadmium batteries in ordinary trash.

Consult your local waste authority for information regarding available recycling and/or disposal options.

BATTERY PACK REMOVAL AND

PREPARATION FOR RECYCLING

WARNING:

Upon removal, cover the battery pack's terminals with heavy duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to destroy or disassemble battery pack or remove any of its components. Nickel-cadmium batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Also, never touch both terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as short circuit may result. Keep away from children. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire and/or serious injury.
