OPERATION
UNPACKING
Your saw has been shipped completely assembled and ready for use. Inspect it carefully to make sure no breakage or damage has occurred during shipping. If any parts are damaged or missing, contact your nearest Ryobi dealer to obtain replacement parts before attempting to operate saw.
An owner's operating manual and warranty registration are also included.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your saw has a precision built Ryobi 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 voltage drop of more than 10 percent 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.
KNOW YOUR RECIPROCATING SAW
Before attempting to use your saw, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety requirements. See Figure 1.
