User manual RYOBI RBS-5518

[. . . ] It is essential that you read the instructions in this manual before mounting and operating this machine. This machine is designed to cut wood or plastic. Only cut circles with a proper clamping device through the longitudinal axis of the workpiece because of the risk of twisting of the workpiece by the sawblade. When you cut boards on edge, use an appropriate set square for safer guiding. [. . . ] Secure the guide (35) onto the metal part using: - two knurled screws - and a slide The sawdust of certain woods (like oak and ash) can cause cancer when inhaled. Do not work in confined spaces unless you have a sawdust extraction system (air speed in the extraction outlet > 20 m/s). You use your saw for a short period of time (30 minutes of use at the most). When you use your saw without a sawdust extraction system, sawdust builds up: it therefore has to be emptied out on a regular basis. Too much tension can result in the breakage of the sawblade. Too little tension can result in the sliding of the sawblade. To check the tension, exert slight lateral pressure on the sawblade, mid-way between the table and the upper sawblade guide (the sawblade must have a maximum sideways give of 1 to 2 mm). If it is necessary to correct the tension: Turn the adjustment knob (36) clockwise to increase the tension. Electric voltage Make sure that the saw is in a dry place. Before you plug in your saw, make sure that the following requirements have been met: · fuse protection with FI switch and leakage current of 30 mA · Mains sockets installed according to professional standards, earthed and approved Place the power cable so that it is out of your way and will not be damaged while you work. Protect this cable from heat, corrosive liquids and sharp edges. only use rubber cables of a sufficient thickness. Do not pull on the cable to unplug it from the mains. To reduce the risks of injury, follow the safety instructions below while you work: · Use personal protective equipment: - A dust mask - Ear protection - Protective eyewear Never saw more than one workpiece at a time. When you saw a workpiece, always maintain it firmly on the table. Do not slow down the sawblade by exerting side pressure. When your work, if necessary, use: - A support for large workpieces that may fall off the table once cut. When you make circular cuts, use an appropriate clamping device to avoid twisting of the workpiece. 18) If you saw boards on edge, use an appropriate set square to prevent your board from tilting. Before you start working, make sure that the following parts are in perfect condition: - Sawblade - Upper and lower slides · Adopt a correct working position when you are sawing (the teeth of the saw must face the user). Never saw several workpieces at the same time ­ never saw joined workpieces made up of several parts. There is a risk of accident if workpieces are pulled by the sawblade while unattended. [. . . ] If you have to replace your connecting cable, only use the manufacturer's cable. The material used as packaging for your machine is 100% recyclable. Used electric tools and accessories contain many precious raw materials and plastics that can be recycled. After all operations, re-set the safety device and check that it is operating properly.
