USER MANUAL One+ R18RS7 RYOBI

RECIPROCATING SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

■ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock. ■ Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control. ■ Ambient temperature range for tool during operation is between 0°C and 40°C. ■ Ambient temperature range for tool storage is between 0°C and 40°C. ■ The recommended ambient temperature range for the charging system during charging is between 10°C and 38°C. WARNING Make sure both the blade clamp lever and lock lever are fully fl ipped down before connecting the battery pack or turning the product on. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.

ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING To reduce the risk of fi re, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fl uid or allow a fl uid to fl ow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fl uids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.

TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES

Transport the battery in accordance with local and national provisions and regulations. Follow all special requirements on packaging and labelling when transporting batteries by a third party. Ensure that no batteries can come in contact with other batteries or conductive materials while in transport by protecting exposed connectors with insulating, non-conductive caps or tape. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leaking. Check with the forwarding company for further advice. ■ Ambient temperature range for battery during use is between 0°C and 40°C. ■ Ambient temperature range for battery storage is between 0°C and 20°C. 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, numbness and blanching of the fi ngers, usually apparent 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: 1 English |

EL■ 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. WARNING Injuries may be caused or aggravated by prolonged use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take regular breaks.

11. Handle, insulated gripping surface

■ 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. OPERA TION TIPS WARNING 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 action, and prolongs blade life. ■ Clamp the workpiece firmly and cut close to the clamping point to eliminate any vibration of the work. When cutting conduit pipes or angle iron, secure the workpiece with a vise, if possible, and cut close to the vise. To cut a thin-sheet material, place the material between two hardboards or plywood and clamp the layers to eliminate vibration and material tearing. ■ Always keep a firm forward pressure on the tool to keep the shoe in contact with the workpiece. ■ Do not use cracked or distorted saw blades. Do not use saw blades that are damaged or deformed. WARNING Dust from certain paints, coatings, and materials may cause irritation or allergic reactions. Dust from wood such as oak, beech, MDF, and others are carcinogenic. Materials containing asbestos should only be worked on or processed by qualifi ed specialist operators. WARNING Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating the product. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible serious injury. MAINTENANCE WARNING The product should never be connected to a power supply when assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the product is not in use. Disconnecting the product will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious injury. ■ When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage. ■ Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt and carbon dust. ■ Do not, at any time, let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum- based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic. ■ Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask. ■ For greater safety and reliability, all repairs should be performed by an authorised service centre. GENERAL Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc. Electrical tools used on fi berglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure because the fi berglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, and commutators. We do not recommend using the product for extended periods of time on these types of materials. WARNING Do not use compressed air to blow dust from the product. This practice is dangerous and can cause dirt and grit to be blasted into someone’ s eyes, causing injury. LUBRICATION All of the bearings in the product are lubricated with a suffi cient amount of high grade lubricant for the life span of 2 | Englishthe product under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Recycle raw materials instead of disposing of as waste. The machine, accessories, and packaging should be sorted for environment- friendly recycling.
