SAFETY AND INTERNATIONAL SYMBOLS
This operator’s manual describes safety and international symbols and pictographs that may appear on this product.
Read the operator’s manual for complete safety, assembly, operating and maintenance, and repair information.
MEANING
Do not expose to rain or use in wet locations
EXTENSION CORD
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a
power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has the
capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An under-
sized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in over-
heating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine the
minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round
jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Lab (UL) should be
used.
Length of Extension Cord Wire Size (A.W.G.)
Up to 50 feet 14
When working with a tool outdoors, use an extension cord
that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the let-
ters "WA" on the cord's jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or ex-
posed wires and cut or worn insulation.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Your Ryobi power tool is double insulated. This means you
are separated from the tool’s electrical system by two com-
plete sets of electrical insulation. This extra layer of insula-
tion 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.
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols, and the
explanations with them, deserve your careful attention and understanding. The safety warnings do not by themselves
eliminate any danger. The instructions or warnings they give are not substitutes for proper accident prevention
measures.
SYMBOL MEANING
SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL: Indicates danger, warning, or caution. May be used in conjunction with
other symbols or pictographs.

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.
