RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
■BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL ADJUST- MENTS ARE SECURE.
■BEFORE CHANGING THE SETUP, REMOVING COV- ERS, GUARDS OR BLADE, UNPLUG THE SAW.
■DO NOT FEED THE MATERIAL TOO QUICKLY while cutting. Do not force the workpiece against the blade.
■NEVER CUT MORE THAN ONE WORKPIECE AT A TIME. If making a stacked cut, all of the pieces must be secured to each other with masking tape or double stick tape to make one workpiece. Do not put more than one workpiece on the saw table at a time. Always hold the work firmly against the table. See page 17.
■AVOID CUTTING NAILS. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.
■NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY, OR SETUP WORK ON THE TABLE while the cutting tool is operat- ing.
■NEVER TOUCH BLADE or other moving parts during use.
■NEVER START A TOOL WHEN THE BLADE IS IN CONTACT WITH THE WORKPIECE. Clear the table of debris before turning your scroll saw on.
■ALLOW THE MOTOR TO COME UP TO FULL SPEED before starting a cut.
■FIRMLY CLAMP OR BOLT your scroll saw to a stable, level workbench or table. The most comfortable table height is at approximately waist height.
■AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSI- TIONS where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the blade. ALWAYS make sure you have good balance. Do not cut pieces of material that are too small to hold comfortably in your hand.
■REPLACEMENT PARTS. All repairs, whether electrical or mechanical, should be made by qualified service technician at a authorized service center.
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
■NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. Nor- mal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.
■DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY MEDI- CATION.
■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 LIGHT- ING to see the work and that no obstructions will interfere with safe operation BEFORE performing any work using your saw.
■ALWAYS TURN OFF SAW before disconnecting it to avoid accidental starting when reconnecting to power supply. NEVER leave the scroll saw unattended while connected to a power source.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with your saw to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
■SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently and use to instruct other users. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
