Ryobi R10630 specifications Important Safety Instructions for Circular Saws, Lower Blade Guard

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)

c.That wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger as specified below:

Cord Length (Feet)	25'	50'	100'
Cord Size (AWG)	16	16	16

NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gage

■DO NOT OPERATE CHARGER WITH A DAMAGED CORD OR PLUG. If damaged, have replaced immediately by a qualified serviceman.

■Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified serviceman.

■Do not disassemble charger; take it to a authorized serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

■To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.

■Do not use charger outdoors.

■Disconnect charger from power supply when not in use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CIRCULAR SAWS

■KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE AND IN WORKING ORDER. Never wedge or tie lower blade guard open. Check operation of lower blade guard before each use. Do not use if lower blade guard does not close briskly over saw blade.

WARNING:

If saw is dropped, lower blade guard or bumper may be bent, restricting full return. If lower blade guard or bumper becomes bent or damaged, replace them before reuse.

■KEEP BLADES CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp blades minimize stalling and kickback.

■KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. Keep hands away from blade. Do not reach underneath work while blade is rotating. Do not attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving.

WARNING:

Blades coast after turn off.

■USE RIP FENCE. Always use a fence or straight edge guide when ripping.

■SUPPORT LARGE PANELS. To minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback, always support large panels as shown in Figure 11, Page 12. When cutting

operation requires the resting of the saw on the workpiece, the saw should be rested on the larger portion and the smaller piece cut off.

■LOWER BLADE GUARD.

WARNING:

If lower blade guard must be raised to make a cut, always raise it with the retracting handle to avoid serious injury. See Figure 22, Page 17.

■GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK. Kickback occurs when the saw stalls rapidly and is driven back towards the operator. Release switch immediately if blade binds or saw stalls. Don't remove saw from work during a cut while the blade is moving. See Pages 12 and 13.

■BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE THE DEPTH AND BEVEL ADJUSTMENTS ARE TIGHT.

■USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Do not use blades with incorrect size holes. Never use blade washers or bolts that are defective or incorrect. The maximum blade capacity of your saw is 5-1/2 inches (140 mm).

■NEVER touch the blade or other moving parts during use.

■NEVER start a saw when its blade is touching the workpiece.

■NEVER lay a tool down before its moving parts have come to a complete stop.

■SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.

WARNING:

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

•lead from lead-based paints,

•crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

•arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
