Special Safety Rules - Ryobi EHT150RG Owner's Operating Manual

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc., in accordance with these instructions and
in the manner intended for the particular type
of power tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5. SERVICE
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

SPECIAL SAFETY RULES

 Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact
with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the
cutting tool "live" and shock the operator.
 Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber
before using this tool. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of serious personal injury.
 Do not reach in the area of the spinning bit. The
proximity of the spinning bit to your hand may not
always be obvious.
 This product is not intended for use as a dental drill
or in human or veterinary medical applications.
Serious injury may result.
 When using steel screws, cut-off wheels, high
speed cutters, or tungsten carbide cutters, always
have the work securely clamped. Never attempt to
hold the work with one hand while using any of
these accessories.
 This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children)
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use
of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety. Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
 This appliance is not intended for use by young
with reduced physical,
English
children or infirm persons. Adequate supervision by a
responsible person must be provided to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
 Keep children and visitors away. Visitors should
wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance from
work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension
cord.
 Complies with AS/NZS 60745.
 Recommended for the use of a residual current device
with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
ELECTRICAL
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire
grounded power cord. 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 double insulated system is intended to protect
the user from shock resulting from a break in the
tool's internal insulation. Observe all normal safety
precautions to avoid electrical shock.
NOTE: Servicing of a product with double insulation
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and
should be performed only by a qualifi ed service technician.
For service, we suggest you return the product to your
nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use
original factory replacement parts when servicing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should
be connected to a power supply that is 230 volts, AC only
(normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this
product on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop
will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If
the product does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double-check the power supply.
EXTENSION CORDS
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 product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power. Use
the chart to determine the minimum wire size required in
an extension cord.
When working outdoors with a product, use an extension
