User manual RYOBI 125R

[. . . ] Before beginning power 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. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Distractions can cause you to lose control. ELECTRICAL SAFETY Power tool plugs must match the outlet. [. . . ] Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. , in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation. SERVICE Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. 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. Check for alignment of moving parts, free running of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by an authorized 2 service centre. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. PARTICULAR REQUIREMENTS FOR CIRCULAR SAWS Not to use any abrasive wheels Ensure that the riving knife is adjusted so that the distance between the riving knife and the rim of the blade is not more than 5mm, and the rim of the blade does not extend more than 5mm beymond the lowest edge of the riving knife. Safety instructions for all saws DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut. If the guard and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits or a build-up debris. Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and "compound cuts. " Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as soon as the blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released. Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released. Additional safety instructions for all saws with riving knife Use the appropriate riving knife for the blade being used. For the riving knife to work, it must be thicker than the body of the blade but thinner than the tooth set of the blade. Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in preventing kickback. Riving knife causes interference during plunge cutting and can create kickback. [. . . ] Loosen the bevel adjustment knob (16) at the front of the tool and move the base plate to the desired angle using the bevel scale (17). Once the angle has been set, be sure to retighten the bevel adjustment knob firmly. TRIGGER SWITCH (FIG. 11) This tool is started and stopped by squeezing and releasing the trigger switch (18).
