User manual RYOBI EWS1366

[. . . ] It is essential that you read the instructions in this manual before mounting and operating this machine. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool'' in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated( corded) power tool or battery operated( cordless) power tool. May be used in conjunction with other symbols or pictures. [. . . ] 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. Before further use of the 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. The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation. Further safety instructions for all saws Causes and operator prevention of kickback: kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator; when the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator; If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator. Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below. Under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback. Use extra caution when making a "plunge cut" into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback. Safety instructions for saws with lower guard Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur. investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding , it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted. Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. [. . . ] These worklight help illuminate the work piece in dimly lit areas and helps when following the cutting line. This tool features a live tool indicator (22) which illuminates as soon as the tool is connected to the supply. This warns the user that the tool is connected and will operate when the switch is pressed. Rotate the screw clockwise to turn the laser beam to right. [. . . ]
