General Information; On/Off Switch Key; Grounding; Overload Reset Button - Ryobi BTS10 Operator's Manual

WARNING:
Yourtable saw has a precision built electric motor. It should
only be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts,
60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate
this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop
will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If
your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double check the power supply.
ON/OFF SWITCH KEY
Your Ryobi table saw is equipped with an on/off switch key
that, if removed, prevents the saw from being turned on. The
key must be in place to turn the saw on. If the key is removed
during operation, the saw may be turned off but may not be
turned on again until the key is replaced. See Figure 8.

GROUNDING
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with
an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connectionof the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in electricalshock.The conductorhavingan 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
equipmentconductorto a live terminal.
_ WARNING: I
If an extension cord is used, make sure it is a grounded/I
3-prongplug and is adequateto prevent excessive voltage I
loss. See ExtensionCord Caution on back page. J
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 propedy grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet
like the one shown in Figure 9. It also has a grounding pin
like the one shown.

OVERLOAD RESET BUTTON
Your Ryobi table saw features an overload reset button. In
the event that your saw turns off during operation,turn the
saw off and allow the motorto cool down for approximately
3 minutes. Push the reset buttonand attemptto turnthe saw
on again. If the saw does not turnon, turn the switchoff and
check all cordsfor properconnectionand retry.If it stilldoes
not turn on, contactyour authorizedRyobi Service Center. If
it turns on and then cutsoff whileyou are working,you may
be trying to feed the workpiece too quickly or may be
operating with a dull blade or may be tryingto operate on a
circuitprovidinginsufficientvoltage.
SPEED AND WIRING
The no-loadspeed of your saw is approximately 4,800 rpm.
This speed is not constantand decreases under a load or
with lower voltage. A line intended only for lights cannot
properlycarrya powertool motor.Wire that is heavyenough
for a shortdistancewill be too lightfor a greater distance.A
line that can support one power tool may not be able to
supporttwo or three.
