RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols, and the
explanations with them, deserve your careful attention and understanding. The safety warnings do not by
themselves eliminate any danger. The instructions or warnings they give are not substitutes for proper accident
prevention measures.
SYMBOL MEANING
SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL:
Indicates caution or warning. May be used in conjunction with other symbols or pictographs.
WARNING: Failure to obey a safety warning can result in serious injury to yourself or to others. Always
follow the safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
CAUTION: Failure to obey a safety warning may result in property damage or personal injury to yourself
or to others. Always follow the safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal
injury.
NOTE: Advises you of information or instructions vital to the operation or maintenance of the equipment.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Your Ryobi power tool is double insulated. 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 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 wiring. Observe all normal safety precautions
related to avoiding electrical shock.
IMPORTANT
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 RYOBI AUTHORIZED
SERVICE CENTER for repair. When servicing use only
identical Ryobi replacement parts.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to operate this tool until you have read
thoroughly and understand completely all instructions,
safety rules, etc. contained in this manual. Failure to
comply can result in accidents involving fire, electric
shock, or serious personal injury. Save owner's manual
and review frequently for continuing safe operation, and
instructing others who may use this tool.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read owner's
manual carefully. Learn its applications and
limitations as well as the specific potential
hazards related to this tool.
2. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK by
preventing body contact with grounded surfaces.
For example: Pipes, radiators, ranges,
refrigerator enclosures.
3. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas
and benches invite accidents.
5. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't
use power tool in damp or wet locations or expose
to rain. Keep work area well lit.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All
visitors should wear safety glasses and be kept
a safe distance from work area. Do not let
visitors contact tool or extension cord.
7. STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use tools
should be stored in a dry and high or locked-up
place - out of the reach of children.
8. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
9. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or
attachment to do the job of a heavy duty tool.
Don't use tool for purpose not intended - for
example - A circular saw should never be used
for cutting tree limbs or logs.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry that can get caught in tool's
moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid
footwear are recommended when working
outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair and keep it from being drawn into nearby
air vents.
11. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday
eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses;
they are NOT safety glasses.
12. PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust
mask if operation is dusty.
13. PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing
protection during extended periods of operation.
14. DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord
or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep
cord from heat, oil and sharp edges. Be aware of
cord location at all times to avoid contact with
rotating cutter. A damaged cord must be replaced by an authorized service center to avoid
the hazard of electric shock.
15. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work. It's safer than using your hand and it frees
both hands to operate tool.
16. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Do not use on a ladder or
with unstable support.
17. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp at all times, and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories.
18. DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, be-
fore servicing, or when changing attachments,
blades, bits, cutters, etc., all tools should be
disconnected from power supply.
19. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that
keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from
tool before turning it on.
20. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Don't carry
plugged-in tools with finger on switch. Be sure
switch is off before plugging into a power source.
21. MAKE SURE YOUR EXTENSION CORD IS IN
GOOD CONDITION. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. A wire gage size
(A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for an
extension cord 100 feet or less in length. A cord
exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller
the gage number, the heavier the cord.
22. OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When
tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords
suitable for use outdoors. Outdoor approved
cords are marked with the suffix W-A, for example
- SJTW-A or SJOW-A.
23. KEEP CUTTERS CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp
cutters minimize stalling and kickback.
24. KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA.
Keep hands away from cutters. Do not reach
underneath work while cutter is rotating. Do not
attempt to remove material, scrap, or chips while
cutter is rotating.
25. NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMO-
SPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could
ignite fumes.
26. INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and
if damaged, have repaired at your nearest authorized service center. Stay constantly aware
of cord location.

use common sense. Do not operate tool when
you are tired. Do not rush.
30. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use
of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it
will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged must be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center unless indicated
elsewhere in this instruction manual.
31. DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT

alcohol, or any medication.
34. WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL
RYOBI REPLACEMENT PARTS.
35. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other). This 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.
36. DO NOT USE TOOL UNDER “BROWNOUT”
OR OTHER LOW VOLTAGE CONDITIONS.
Also, do not use with any device that could cause
the power supply voltage to change.
37. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Review 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.
