Operation - Ryobi JM80 Owner's Operating Manual

DUSTLESS FEATURE
See Figure 20.
The dust bag located on the rear of your plate joiner provides
a dust collection system. Wood particles are drawn up
through a tunnel in the base and collect in the dust bag during
cutting operations. For more efficient operation, empty dust
bag when half full.
Do not connect plate joiner to power supply before installing
dust bag.
WARNING:
To prevent the possibility of sawdust or foreign objects
being thrown into your face and eyes, never attempt to
use your plate joiner without dust bag properly installed.
Sawdust or foreign objects being thrown into your face
and eyes could result in possible serious injury.
TO INSTALL DUST BAG
The dust bag can be installed by inserting the dust bag
adaptor inside the blower exhaust. See Figure 20.
TO EMPTY DUST BAG
Remove dust bag from plate joiner, remove retainer strip and
shake out dust. Occasionally turn the dust bag inside out and
brush the accumulation of dust from the inside of the bag.
This will permit the air to flow through the bag better.
HELPFUL HINTS

Always clamp workpiece securely before cutting.

A safe operator is one who thinks ahead.

Always wear eye protection when cutting slots.

Make set-up adjustments carefully. Then double check.
Measure twice and cut once.

Always dry assemble your project before gluing it
together.

The more biscuits used, the stronger the joint will be.

Keep blade clean and properly sharpened.

Don't let familiarity make you careless.

Study all safety rules and do the job safely.

NEVER place your hands in jeopardy.

Make certain clamps can't loosen while in use.

Test difficult set-ups on scrap—Don't waste lumber.

Plan each operation before you begin.

Provide for smoother operation by cleaning your plate
joiner frequently. Shake plate joiner or blow with an air
jet to remove wood particle build-up.

Empty dust bag when half full.

DO NOT ABUSE POWER TOOLS. Abusive practices
can damage tool as well as workpiece.

THINK SAFETY BY THINKING AHEAD.

OPERATION

BLOWER EXHAUST
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power.
To keep the loss to a minimum and to prevent tool overheating,
use an extension cord that is heavy enough to carry the
current the tool will draw.
A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for
an extension cord 50 feet or less in length. A wire gage size
(A.W.G.) of at least 12 is recommended for an extension cord
50 - 100 feet in length. When working outdoors, use an
extension cord that is suitable for outdoor use. The cord's
jacket will be marked WA.
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged,
replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged
cord since touching the damaged area could cause
electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
Keep extension cords away from the cutting area and
position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber,
tools, etc. during cutting operations.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication
