DOUBLE INSULATION

Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three- wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.

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 precautions to avoid electrical shock.

NOTE: 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 original factory replace- ment parts when servicing.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.

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 desig- nated 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. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.

RJ162V specifications

The Ryobi RJ162V is a versatile and powerful jigsaw that is designed for both professional and DIY enthusiasts. This tool stands out in the crowded market of power tools due to its robust features, innovative technologies, and user-friendly design.

One of the most notable features of the Ryobi RJ162V is its variable speed control. With a speed range of up to 3,100 strokes per minute, users can easily adjust the cutting speed to match the material they are working with. This flexibility allows for precise cuts in a variety of materials, including wood, metal, and plastic.

The jigsaw is equipped with a 4-position orbital action system, which enhances its cutting capability. This feature allows users to select the appropriate orbital setting depending on the application, enabling faster cuts in softer materials and smoother cuts in harder materials. This makes the RJ162V suitable for both intricate detail work and larger cutting tasks.

Ergonomics play a crucial role in the design of the Ryobi RJ162V. The tool features a comfortable grip handle that reduces fatigue during prolonged use. Its lightweight construction also contributes to ease of maneuverability, making it ideal for overhead tasks or intricate cuts. Additionally, the integrated dust blower keeps the cutting line clear, improving visibility and accuracy.

The RJ162V utilizes a tool-free blade change system, providing users with quick and easy blade swaps without the need for additional tools. This feature not only saves time but also enhances convenience when working with different materials or cutting styles. The tool accommodates both T-shank and U-shank blades, offering a wide variety of options to suit various cutting needs.

Safety is another priority in the design of the Ryobi RJ162V. It incorporates a safety lock switch to prevent accidental starts and ensure user safety during operation. The overall build quality of the jigsaw is commendable, featuring a durable baseplate that enhances stability while cutting.

In summary, the Ryobi RJ162V jigsaw combines versatility, power, and user-friendly features to make it an excellent addition to any tool collection. Its variable speed control, 4-position orbital action, ergonomic design, and quick blade change system highlight its innovative engineering. Whether you're a professional tradesperson or a DIY hobbyist, the RJ162V can handle a wide range of cutting tasks with precision and ease.
