29. 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 to avoid risk of personal injury.
30. DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT
ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by an
authorized service center.
31. USE THE FENCE. Always use the fence when cutting.
32. SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES. To minimize risk of
blade pinching and kickback, always support long
workpieces.
33. BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL
ADJUSTMENTS ARE SECURE.
34. USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Do not use blades
with incorrect size holes. Never use blade washers or
blade screws that are defective or incorrect. The
maximum blade capacity of your saw is 10 in. (254 mm).
35. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury. Consult
operator's manual for recommended accessories.
36. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur
if the tool is tipped or if the blade is unintentionally
contacted.
37. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this tool 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.
38. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN THE POWER OFF. Do not leave tool until it
comes to a complete stop.
39. TURN TOOL OFF AND WAIT FOR SAW BLADE TO
STOP BEFORE RAISING SAW HEAD, MOVING
WORK, OR CHANGING SETTINGS.
40. AVOID CUTTING NAILS. Inspect for and remove all
nails from lumber before cutting.
41. NEVER TOUCH BLADE or other moving parts during
use.
42. NEVER START A TOOL WHEN THE BLADE IS IN
CONTACT WITH THE WORKPIECE.
43. DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY
MEDICATION.
44. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work
when practical. It's safer than using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate tool.
45. REPLACEMENT PARTS. All repairs, whether electrical
or mechanical, should be made at your nearest
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.
46. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them
frequently and use them to instruct other users. If you
