Extension Cords; Grounding Instructions - Ryobi ELS52 Operator's Manual

SERVICE
Servicing requires extreme care and knowledge and should
be performed only by a qualified service technician. For
service we suggest you return the product to your nearest
AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE for repair. When servicing,
use only identical replacement parts.

EXTENSION CORDS

When using a power tool at a considerable distance from the
power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry
the current that the tool will draw. An undersized extension
cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of
power and causing the motor to overheat.
When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension cord
that is designed for outside use.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
WARNING:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on timber,
tools or other obstructions while you are working with a
power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
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.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This tool is powered by a precision built electric motor. It
should be connected to a power supply that is 230 volts,
50 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
the product does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double check the power supply.
Connect the main leads to a standard 230V±10%
(50Hz±1%Hz) electrical supply which has protection devices
of under-voltage, over-voltage, over-current as well as a
residual current device (RCD) which maximum residual current
rated at 0.03A, the main connection must have maximum
10A time-lag fuse.

WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, do not attempt to use
this product until you read thoroughly and understand
completely the operator's manual. Save this operator's
manual and review frequently for continuing safe operation
and instructing others who may use this product.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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 connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock. 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.
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.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
