Residual Risks; Risk Reduction; Operation - Ryobi RRS1200 Original Instructions Manual

Safety, performance, and dependability have been given
top priority in the design of your reciprocating saw.
INTENDED USE
The reciprocating saw is intended to be used only by
adults who have read and understood the instructions and
warnings in this manual and can be considered responsible
reciprocating saw is designed to cut wood, plastic, drywall
table. The reciprocating saw is designed for handheld
use; it is not to be mounted onto a workbench unless
manufacturer of the product.
RECIPROCATING SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
Protect your lungs. Wear a dust mask if operation is
dusty.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even when the reciprocating saw is used as prescribed, it is
still impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk
factors. The following hazards may arise and the operator
should pay special attention to avoid the following:
Injury caused by vibration
– Use the lowest speed setting which achieves the
task. Limit exposure. See risk reduction.
Injury caused by dust
– Wear eye protection at all times. Wear appropriate
dust mask with suitable filters that can protect
against particles from the material being worked on.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke in the work area. Ensure
adequate ventilation.
Electric shock
– The blade may contact hidden wiring causing
parts of the product to become live. Always hold
the product by the designated handles and take
care when blind cutting into walls and floors where
cables may be hidden.
NOTE: When working on walls, ceilings, or floors, take
care to avoid electric cables and gas or water pipes.
The product must be operated with both hands.
Injury from contact with the cutting blade
– The blades are very sharp and will become hot
during use. Wear gloves when changing blades.
Keep hands away from the cutting area at all times.
Clamp the workpiece whenever possible.
Injury caused by noise
– Prolonged exposure to noise will increase the risk
of hearing damage, and the effects are cumulative.
When using power tools for any extended period of
time, wear hearing protection.

RISK REDUCTION

It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's Syndrome
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling,
upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to
cold and dampness, diet, smoking, and work practices
are all thought to contribute to the development of these
symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the product, wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists
warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor
contributing to Raynaud's Syndrome.
After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of
exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about
these symptoms.
Injuries may be caused or aggravated by prolonged use
of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods,
ensure you take regular breaks.

OPERATION

ADJUSTING THE SHOE ASSEMBLY
The product has a shoe assembly that pivots up and
down in both directions to ensure the shoe is flat
against the cutting surface at all times. The adjustable
shoe also slides in and out, which allows for the use of
the blade teeth at different positions on the blade.
Press the saw blade into the saw blade holder up to the
stop. Make sure that the saw blade is fixed securely.
OPERATION TIPS
You may cut metals such as sheet steel, pipe steel rods,
aluminum, brass, and copper with the product.
Be careful not to twist or bend the saw blade.
Do not force the product.
Use cutting oil when cutting soft metals and steel.
Cutting oil also keeps the blades cool, increases cutting
