THANK YOU FOR BUYING A RYOBI PRODUCT.
To ensure your safety and satisfaction, carefully read through
this OWNER’S MANUAL before using the product.
General Safety Rules
WARNING!
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed
“power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power
tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) Work area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas
invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a)
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the OFF
position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these devices can
reduce dustrelated hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for
your application. The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in
accordance with these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power tool, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) 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.
Specific Safety Rules
a) Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing
loss.
b) Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control
can cause personal injury.
c) 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.
d) Keep hands away from all cutting edges and moving parts.
e) Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important
information. If unreadable or missing, contact a RYOBI
service facility for a free replacement.
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:
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.

STANDARD ACCESSORIES
APPLICATIONS
Take care that the dust protection cap (2) is not damaged when
changing tools.
SDS-plus Tools
The SDS-plus tool is designed to be freely movable. This causes
eccentricity when the machine is off-load. However, the drill
automatically centres itself during operation. This does not affect
drilling precision.
Inserting (Fig. 1)
Clean and lightly oil the tool before inserting.
Insert the dust-free tool into the tool holder (1) with twisting until it
latches.
The tool locks itself. Check the locking by pulling on the tool.
Removing (Fig. 2)
Pull the locking sleeve (3) to the rear (a) and hold while removing the
tool (b).
Tools without SDS-plus
Do not use tools without SDS-plus for hammer drilling or chiseling
To work with tools without SDS-plus (e.g., drills with cylindrical shafts),
a drill chuck with a SDS-plus chuck shaft (optional accessory) must be
inserted into the tool holder (Fig. 3).
Insert the dust-free, assembled chuck into the tool holder l with twisting
until it latches (Fig. 4).
The chuck locks itself. Check the locking by pulling on the chuck.
Screwdriver Bits (Fig. 5)
For screwdriver bits, use the SDS-plus adapter (optional accessory).
1. Make sure that the tool is only connected to the voltage marked
on the name plate.
2. Never use the tool if its cover or any bolts are missing. If the
cover or bolts have been removed, replace them prior to use.
Maintain all parts in good working order.
3. Always secure tools when working in elevated positions.
4. Never touch the blade, drill bit, grinding wheel or other moving
parts during use.
5. Never start a tool when its rotating component is in contact with
the work piece.
6. Never lay a tool down before its moving parts have come to a
