RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
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 operator's manual
and review frequently for continuing safe operation, and
instructing others who may use this tool.
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.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Your Ryobi power tool is double insulated. This means you
are separated from the tool's electrical system by two
complete sets of electrical insulation. This extra layer of
insulation is intended to protect the user from electrical
shock due to a break in the wiring insulation. All exposed
metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor
components with protecting insulation. Double insulated
tools do not need to be grounded.
IMPORTANT
Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme
care and knowledge of the system and should be performed
only by a qualified service technician. For service we suggest
you return the tool to your nearest
RYOBI AUTHORIZED
SERVICE CENTER
for repair. When servicing use only
identical Ryobi replacement parts.
