WARNING:

Exercise caution when using the orbital jig saw. Care- less actions, for even a fraction of a second, can result in serious personal injury.

Before using the orbital jig saw, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety requirements. However, do not let familiarity with the tool make you careless.

This new orbital jig saw is equipped with the following features. See Figure 1.

TOOLLESS BLADE CLAMP

Your saw has a blade clamp design that does not require the use of a tool (blade wrench) when installing or removing the blade. Simply lift blade clamp lock / release lever, located on front of saw, insert blade between blade clamp and saw bar as far as possible, then release lever to lock position.

BLADE SELECTION

To obtain the best performance from your saw it is important to select a specific blade for the particular application and type of material you wish to cut. By doing this you will get a smoother, faster cut and prolong blade life. Replacement blades for this saw are available from your nearest Ryobi dealer. Ryobi recommends the use of T-shank style blades. If U-shank style blades are used, they should be high quality hardened steel.

LOCK-OFF BUTTON

Your saw is equipped with a "lock-off" button which reduces the possibility of accidental starting. The lock-off button is located on the handle above the switch trigger. You must depress the lock-off button in order to pull the switch trigger. The lock resets each time the trigger is released. Note: You can depress the lock-off button from either the left or right side.

SWITCH

To turn your saw ON, depress the lock-off button and pull switch trigger. Release switch trigger to turn your saw OFF.

VARIABLE SPEED

This tool has a variable speed switch that delivers higher speed with increased trigger pressure. Speed is controlled by the amount of switch trigger depression.

BLADE STORAGE

When not in use, you can place the blades provided with your orbital jig saw in the storage area located on the back of the saw.

ERGONOMIC DESIGN

The design of the orbital jig saw provides for easy handling. It is designed for comfort and ease of grasp when operating in different positions and at different angles.
