SPECIFIC SAFETy RULES
GENERAL SAFETy RULES
SERVICE
 Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, user must read instruction
manual.
 When servicing a power tool, use only identical replace-
ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance sec-
tion of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of
shock or injury.
 Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
“live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live”
and shock the operator.
 Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
 know your power tool. Read operator’s manual care-
fully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as
the specific potential hazards related to this power
tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious injury.
 Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses
have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety
glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
 Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
 Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
 Inspect power tool cords periodically and, if damaged,
have repaired at your nearest Authorized Service Cen-
ter. Constantly stay aware of cord location. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
 Check damaged parts. before further use of the power
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 should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.
 Make sure your extension cord is in good condi-
tion. When using an extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is
recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less
in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recom-
mended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating.
 Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before
using this power tool. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
LASER GUIDE WARNINGS:
The laser guide radiation used in the Ryobi jig saw is
Class II with maximum <1mW and 650nm wavelengths.
These lasers do not normally present an optical hazard al-
though staring at the beam may cause flash blindness.

CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or perfor-
mances of procedures other than those specified herein
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
 Avoid direct eye exposure when using the laser guide.
 The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
 Never aim the beam at a person or object other than the
workpiece.
 Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy work-
piece without reflective surfaces. Shiny reflective sheet
metal or similar shiny materials are not suitable for laser
use.
 All repairs should be made by an authorized service rep-
resentative or the laser manufacturer.
 If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized
service center to avoid risk.
 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this product. If
you loan someone this product, loan them these instruc-
tions also.
