Your new saw has been engineered and manufactured to Ryobi's high standard for dependability, ease of operation, and operator safety. Properly cared for, it will give you years of rugged, trouble-free performance. [. . . ] A wire gage size (A. W. G. ) of at least 12 is recommended for an extension cord 50 - 100 feet in length. When working outdoors, use an extension cord that is suitable for outdoor use. The cord's jacket will be marked WA. CAUTION: Keep extension cords away from the cutting area and position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools, etc. during cutting operation. WARNING: Check extension cords before each use. Never use tool with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: If any parts are missing, do not operate your saw until the missing parts are replaced. Failure to do so could result in possible serious personal injury. WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with your saw to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
