WARNING:
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.
GENERAL
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc.
come in contact with plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy
plastic.
BITS
Get faster and more accurate cutting results by keeping
bits clean. Remove all accumulated build-up from bits
after each use. Replace bits when they become dull.
WARNING:
The bit flutes are sharp and should be handled with
caution.
COLLET
From time to time, it also becomes necessary to clean
your collet and collet nut. To do so, simply remove collet
nut and collet from the shaft and clean the dust and chips
that have collected. Then return collet nut to its original
position. Tighten collet nut on collet without a bit installed.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the
unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no
further lubrication is required.
BATTERIES
Your Speed Saw is equipped with Nickel-Cadmium
rechargeable batteries. Length of service from each
charging will depend on the type of work you are doing.
The batteries in this tool have been designed to provide
maximum trouble-free life. However, like all batteries,
they will eventually wear out. DO NOT disassemble
battery pack and attempt to replace the batteries.
Handling of these batteries, especially when wearing
rings and jewelry, could result in serious burn.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest
the following:
MAINTENANCE
■ Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.
Temperatures above or below normal room
temperature will shorten battery life.
■ Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Wait
for battery to cool and charge immediately.
■ All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher
the temperature, the quicker they lose their charge. If
you store your tool for long periods of time without
using it, recharge the batteries every month or two.
This practice will prolong battery life.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
To preserve natural resources, please recycle or dispose
of the battery properly. Local, state, or federal laws
may prohibit disposal of Nickel-Cadmium batteries
in ordinary trash.
Consult your local waste authority for information
regarding available recycling and/or disposal options.
For more information on battery recycling call
1-800-8BATTERY.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack. Fire
or injury can result.
WARNING:
Upon removal, cover the battery pack's terminals with
heavy duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to destroy
or disassemble battery pack or remove any of its
components. Also, never touch both terminals with
metal objects and/or body parts, as short circuit can
result. Keep away from children. Failure to comply
with these warnings could result in fire and/or serious
injury.
