    WARNING: 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 tool “live” and shock the operator.

    WARNING: When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement parts. Use of any other parts can create a hazard or cause product damage. GENERAL Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
