Specific Safety Rules - Ryobi RTS10 Manual Del Operador

 NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. Normal
sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.
 INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY. If damaged,
have repaired by a qualified service technician at an
authorized service facility. The conductor with insulation
having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow
stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair
or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary,
do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a
live terminal. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately. Stay constantly aware of cord location and
keep it well away from the rotating blade.
 INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODICALLY and
replace if damaged.
 GROUND ALL TOOLS. If tool is equipped with three-
prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole electrical
receptacle.
 CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
 USE ONLY CORRECT ELECTRICAL DEVICES: 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and
3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
 DO NOT MODIFY the plug provided. If it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
 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.
 FIRMLY BOLT THE SAW TO A WORK BENCH OR LEG
STAND at approximately hip height.
 DO NOT OPERATE THE SAW WITHOUT THE STAND
ON THE FLOOR.
 GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK. Kickback occurs when
the blade stalls rapidly and workpiece is driven back
towards the operator. It can pull your hand into the blade
resulting in serious personal injury. Stay out of blade path
and turn switch off immediately if blade binds or stalls.
 USE RIP FENCE. Always use a fence or straight edge
guide when ripping.
 SUPPORT LARGE PANELS. To minimize risk of blade
pinching and kickback, always support large panels.
 REMOVE ALL FENCES AND AUXILIARY TABLES before
transporting saw. Failure to do so can result in an accident
causing possible serious personal injury.
 ALWAYS USE BLADE GUARD, RIVING KNIFE, AND
ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS on all "through-sawing"
GENERAL SAFETY RULES

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

4 - English
 STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. Watch what
you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate
tool when you are tired. Do not rush.
 DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT
ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by an
authorized service center.
 USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Do not use blades with
incorrect size holes. Never use blade washers or blade
bolts that are defective or incorrect. The maximum blade
capacity of your saw is 10 in. (254 mm).
 B E F O R E M A K I N G A C U T, B E S U R E A L L
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.
 NEVER START A TOOL WHEN ANY ROTATING
COMPONENT IS IN CONTACT WITH THE WORKPIECE.
 DO NOT OPERATE A TOOL WHILE UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY
MEDICATION.
 WHEN SERVICING use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
 USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES listed in
this manual or addendums. Use of accessories that are not
listed may cause the risk of personal injury. Instructions for
safe use of accessories are included with the accessory.
 DOUBLE CHECK ALL SETUPS. Make sure blade is tight
and not making contact with saw or workpiece before
connecting to power supply.
operations. Through-sawing operations are those in
which the blade cuts completely through the workpiece
as in ripping or cross cutting. Keep the blade guard down,
the anti-kickback pawls down, and the riving knife in
place.
 ALWAYS SECURE WORK firmly against rip fence, miter
fence, or miter gauge.
 ALWAYS USE A PUSH STICK FOR RIPPING NARROW
STOCK. A push stick is a device used to push a
workpiece through the blade instead of using your hands.
Size and shape can vary but the push stick must always
be narrower than the workpiece to prevent the push stick from contacting the saw blade. When ripping narrow
stock, always use a push stick, or the jig mentioned in the
How to Make A Jig (For Rip Cutting Narrow Workpiece)
section of this manual, so your hand does not come close
to the saw blade. Use a featherboard and push blocks
for non-through cuts.
