 NEVER reach behind, under, or within three inches of the

blade and its cutting path with your hands and fingers for

any reason.

 NEVER hand hold a workpiece that is too small to be

clamped. Keep hands clear of the no hands zone.

 NEVER reach to pick up a workpiece, a piece of scrap, or

anything else that is in or near the cutting path of the

blade.

 AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSI-

TIONS where a sudden slip could cause your hand to

move into the blade. ALWAYS make sure you have good

balance. NEVER operate your miter saw on the floor or in

a crouched position.

 NEVER stand or have any part of your body in line with

the path of the saw blade.

 ALWAYS release the power switch and allow the saw

blade to stop rotating before raising it out of the workpiece.

 DO NOT TURN THE MOTOR SWITCH ON AND OFF

RAPIDLY. This could cause the saw blade to loosen and

could create a hazard. Should this ever occur, stand clear

and allow the saw blade to come to a complete stop.

Disconnect your saw from the power supply and securely

retighten the blade bolt.

 REPLACEMENT PARTS. All repairs, whether electrical

or mechanical, should be made at your nearest autho-

rized service center.

 WHEN SERVICING, use only identical Ryobi replace-

ment parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard

or cause product damage.

 NEVER USE THIS TOOL IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMO-

SPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could ignite

fumes.

 POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of electric

shock, this tool has a polarized plug (one blade is wider

than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only

one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse

the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician

to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any

way.

 IF ANY PART OF THIS MITER SAW IS MISSING or

should break, bend, or fail in any way, or should any

electrical component fail to perform properly, shut off the

power switch, remove the miter saw plug from the power

source and have damaged, missing, or failed parts re-

placed before resuming operation.

 DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UNDER THE

INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY MEDI-

CATION.

 ALWAYS STAY ALERT! Do not allow familiarity (gained

from frequent use of your saw) to cause a careless

mistake. ALWAYS REMEMBER that a careless fraction

on a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

 BLADE COASTS AFTER BEING TURNED OFF.

 DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never yank cord to disconnect

it from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp

edges.

 USE ONLY OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORDS. Use only

extension cords with the marking "Acceptable for use with

outdoor appliances; store cords indoors while not in use".

Use extension cords with an electrical rating not less than

the saw's rating. Always disconnect the extension cord

from the outlet before disconnecting the product from the

extension cord.

 DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT

ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by an

authorized service center.

 KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM OIL AND

GREASE. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never

use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or

any solvents to clean tool.

 ALWAYS SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES while cut-

ting to minimize risk of blade pinching and kickback. Saw

may slip, walk or slide while cutting long or heavy boards.

 BEFORE MAKING A CUT, be sure all adjustments are

secure.

 BE SURE BLADE PATH IS FREE OF NAILS. Inspect for

and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.

 NEVER TOUCH BLADE or other moving parts during

use for any reason.

 BE SURE THE BLADE CLEARS THE WORKPIECE.

Never start the saw with the blade touching the workpiece.

Allow motor to come up to full speed before starting cut.

 MAKE SURE MITER TABLE AND SAW ARM (BEVEL

FUNCTION) ARE LOCKED IN POSITION BEFORE OP-

ERATING YOUR SAW. Lock the miter table by securely

tightening the miter lock handle. Lock the saw arm (bevel

function) by securely tightening the bevel lock knob.

 NEVER USE A LENGTH STOP ON THE FREE SCRAP

END OF A CLAMPED WORKPIECE. NEVER hold onto

or bind the free scrap end of the workpiece in any

operation. If a work clamp and length stop are used

together, they must both be installed on the same side of

the saw table to prevent the saw from catching the loose

end and kicking up.

 NEVER cut more than one piece at a time. DO NOT

STACK more than one workpiece on the saw table at a

time.

 NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION FREEHAND. Al-

ways place the workpiece to be cut on the miter table and

position it firmly against the fence as a backstop. Always

use the fence.
