RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
■REPLACEMENT PARTS. All repairs, whether electrical or mechanical, should be made at your nearest authorized service center.
■When servicing use only identical Ryobi replace- ment parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
■NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMO- SPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.
■NEVER leave the miter saw unattended while connected to a power source.
■POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this charger has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This charger plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
■IF ANY PART OF THIS MITER SAW IS MISS- ING or should break, bend, or fail in any way, or should any electrical component fail to perform properly, release switch trigger, remove the battery pack and have damaged, missing, or failed parts replaced before resuming operation.
■DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UN- DER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY MEDICATION.
■ALWAYS STAY ALERT! Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of your saw) to cause a careless mistake. ALWAYS REMEMBER that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
■STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.
Do not rush.
■MAKE SURE THE WORK AREA HAS AMPLE LIGHTING to see the work and that no obstruc- tions will interfere with safe operation BEFORE performing any work using your saw.
IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES FOR BATTERY TOOLS
■Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when changing accessories.
■Remove battery pack from tool or make sure the switch is in the
■When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, other small metal objects as well as necklaces, chains, rings etc. that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
■Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire. Use only the battery pack listed.
■USE ONLY THE CHARGER PROVIDED WITH YOUR BATTERY TOOL. Do not substitute any other charger. Use of another charger could cause batteries to explode causing possible serious injury.
■DO NOT PLACE BATTERY TOOLS OR THEIR BATTERIES NEAR FIRE OR HEAT. Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the presence of heat or a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, wash immediately with soap and water and neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar.
■DO NOT CHARGE BATTERY TOOL IN A DAMP OR WET LOCATION.
■Your battery tool should be charged in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F (10°C) but less than 100°F (37°C).
■Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.
■If carrying your battery tool at your side, make sure it is not running and your finger is not on the switch. Avoid accidental starting.
■WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL RYOBI REPLACEMENT PARTS.
