DOUBLE INSULATION
Your Ryobi power tool is double insulated. This means you
areseparatedfromthetool'selectricalsystembytwocomplete
sets of electrical insulation. This extra layer of insulation is
intended to protect the user from electrical shock due to a
break in the wiring insulation. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to
be grounded.
IMPORTANT
Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme
careand knowledgeof thesystem andshould beperformed
onlybyaqualifiedservicetechnician.Forservicewesuggest
you return the tool to your nearest RYOBI AUTHORIZED
SERVICE CENTER for repair. When servicing use only
identical Ryobi replacement parts.
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. Failure to do so
could result in possible serious injury.
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 operator's manual
and review frequently for continuing safe operation, and
instructing others who may use this tool.
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.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
■Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, cloth-
ing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
■Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off
before plugging in. Carryingtoolswithyourfinger on
the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
■Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turn-
ing the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
■Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected situ-
ations.
■Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearingprotectionmustbeusedforappropriatecon-
ditions.
Tool Use and Care
■Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Hold-
ing the work by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
■Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
■Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or
off.Any toolthatcannotbecontrolledwiththeswitch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
■Disconnect the plug from the power source
beforemakinganyadjustments, changing acces-
sories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce risk of starting the tool acciden-
tally.
■Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
■Maintaintoolswithcare. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
■Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condi-
tion that may affect the tool's operation. If dam-
aged, have the tool serviced before using. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to
followallinstructionslisted below,mayresult in elec-
tric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
■Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
■Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
■Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
■Double insulated tools are equipped with a
polarizedplug(onebladeis 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 a polarized outlet.
Do not change the plug in any way. Double insu-
lation eliminates the need for the three wire
grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system.
■Avoid body contact withgroundedsurfacessuch
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
Thereisanincreasedriskofelectricshockifyourbody
is grounded.
■Don't expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
■Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to
carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Replace damaged cords immedi-
ately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
■When operating a power tool outside, use an out-
door extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”.These
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electric shock.
Personal Safety
■Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use tool while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of

draw. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 12 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. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating.
■Drugs, Alcohol, Medication. Do not operate tool
while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any
medication. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
■Keep hands away from cutting area. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
