DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety, in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire
grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated
from internal metal motor components with protecting
insulation.Doubleinsulatedtoolsdonotneedtobegrounded.
IMPORTANT
Servicing requiresextremecareandknowledgeandshould
be performed only by a qualified service technician. When
servicing, use only identical Ryobi replacement parts. For
service we suggest you return the tool to your nearest

800-525-2579 in the United State or visit our web site at
www.ryobitools.comforyournearestRYOBIAUTHORIZED
SERVICE CENTER.
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.
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 this operator's
manualandreviewfrequentlyforcontinuingsafeoperation
and instructing others who may use this tool.
RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

Page 4
Safe operation of this power tool requires that you read and
understand this operator's manual and all labels affixed to
the tool. Safety is a combination of common sense, staying
alert, and knowing how your miter saw works.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the operator's
manual carefully. Learn the saw's applications and
limitations as well as the specific potential hazards
related to this tool.
2. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK BY
PREVENTING BODY CONTACT WITH GROUNDED
SURFACES. For example: pipes, radiators, ranges,
refrigerator enclosures.
3. KEEPGUARDS INPLACEandingoodworkingorder.
4. KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered work
areas and work benches invite accidents. DO NOT
leave tools or pieces of wood on the saw while it is in
operation.
5. DONOTUSEINDANGEROUSENVIRONMENTS.Do
not use power tools near gasoline or other flammable
liquids,indamporwetlocations,orexposethemtorain.
Keep the work area well lit.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All visitors

Nonslip footwear is recommended when working
outdoors. Also wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
11. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE
SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-
resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
12. PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust mask
if the cutting operation is dusty.
13. PROTECTYOURHEARING.Wearhearingprotection
during extended periods of operation.
14. DONOTABUSECORD.Neveryankcordtodisconnect

balance at all times.
16. MAINTAINTOOLSWITHCARE.Keeptoolssharpand
clean for better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
17. DISCONNECT ALL TOOLS. When not in use, before
servicing, or when changing attachments, blades, bits,
cutters, etc., all tools should be disconnected.
18. REMOVEADJUSTINGKEYSANDWRENCHES. Get
in the habit of checking to see that hex keys and

or less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage.
The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
21. USE OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is
usedoutdoors,useonlyextensioncordswithapproved
ground connection that are intended for use outdoors
and so marked.
22. KEEP BLADES CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp blades
minimize stalling and kickback.
23. KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. Keep
hands away from blades. Do not reach underneath
work or around or under the blade while blade is
rotating. Do not attempt to remove cut material when
blade is moving.
WARNING: Blades coast after turn off.
24. NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE.
Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.
25. INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and if

WARNING:
RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can
result in severe eye damage. Before beginning tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We recommend Wide Vision Safety
Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields. Always wear eye
protection which is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.

Page 6
1. NEVER USE A DULL SAW BLADE or one that does
not have sufficient set.
2. DO NOT REMOVE THE SAW'S BLADE GUARDS.
Never operate the saw with any guard or cover re-
moved. Make sure all guards are operating properly
before each use.
3. MAKE SURE THE MITER TABLE IS LOCKED IN
POSITION BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SAW. Lock
the miter table by securely tightening the miter lock
handle.
4. NEVERPERFORMANYOPERATION"FREEHAND".
Alwaysplacetheworkpiecetobecutonthe miter table
and position it firmly against the fence as a backstop.
5. ALWAYS USE A CLAMP to secure the workpiece
when possible.
6. NEVER hand hold a workpiece that is too small to be
clamped. Keep hands clear of the no hands zone.
7. NEVERreachbehindorunder the blade and itscutting
path with your hands and fingers for any reason.
8. NEVER standor have any partofyour body in line with
the path of the saw blade.
9. ALLOWTHEMOTORTOCOMEUPTOFULLSPEED
before starting a cut.
10. ALWAYS release the power switch and allow the saw
blade to stop rotating before raising it out of the
workpiece.
11. NEVER reach to pick up a workpiece, a piece of scrap,
or anything else that is in or near the cutting path of the
blade.
12. NEVER leave the miter saw unattended while con-
nected to a power source.
13. FIRMLY CLAMP OR BOLT your miter saw to a work-
bench or table. The most comfortable saw table height
is 39 inches or at approximately hip height.
14. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND PO-
SITIONSwhereasuddenslipcouldcauseyourhandto
move into the blade. ALWAYS make sure you have
good balance. NEVER operate your miter saw on the
floor or in a crouched position.
15. ALWAYS PROVIDE ADEQUATE ROOM AND SUP-
PORT for crosscutting long workpieces.
16. NEVERUSEALENGTHSTOPONTHEFREESCRAP
END OF A CLAMPED WORKPIECE. NEVER hold
onto or bind the free scrap end of the workpiece in any
operation. If a work clamp and length stop are used
together, they must both be installed on the same side
of the saw table to prevent the saw from catching the
loose end and kicking up.
Additional Rules For Safe Operation
For Miter Saws
17. DO NOT TURN THE MOTOR SWITCH ON AND OFF
RAPIDLY. This could cause the saw blade to loosen
and could create a hazard. Should this ever occur,
stand clear and allow the saw blade to come to a
complete stop. Disconnect your saw from the power
supply and securely retighten the blade bolt.
18. NEVER cut more than one piece at a time. DO NOT
STACK more than one workpiece on the saw table at
a time.
19. IF ANY PART OF THIS MITER SAW IS MISSING or
should break, bend, or fail in any way, or should any
electrical component fail to perform properly, shut off
the power switch, remove the miter saw plug from the
power source and have damaged, missing, or failed
parts replaced before resuming operation.
20. ALWAYS STAYALERT!Donotallowfamiliarity(gained
from frequent use of your saw) to cause a careless
mistake. ALWAYS REMEMBER that a careless frac-
tion of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
21. MAKESURETHEWORKAREAHASAMPLELIGHT-
ING to see the work and that no obstructions will
interfere with safe operation BEFORE performing any
work using your saw.
22. ALWAYS TURN OFF SAW before disconnecting it, to
avoid accidental starting when reconnecting to power
supply.
23. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them fre-
quently and use to instruct other users. If you loan
someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
