USER MANUAL One+ R18JSCS RYOBI

Safety, performance, and dependability have been given top priority in the design of your circular saw. INTENDED USE The circular 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 for their actions. The product is designed for rip- and cross-cutting of wood or similar materials up to a maximum depth of 54 mm. The product can make straight or bevelled cuts between 0 and 45 degrees. The product is to be used with the base of the tool in contact with the workpiece. It should only be used in a dry, well lit and well ventilated area. The product is designed for handheld use. The product is not to be mounted onto a workbench unless specific instructions about how to do this are given by the manufacturer of the saw. Do not use for cutting metal or masonry. Do not use the product for any other purpose. Use of the product for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation. WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

CUTTING PROCEDURES DANGER Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade. Ŷ Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece. Ŷ Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece. Ŷ Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control. Ŷ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock. Ŷ When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding. Ŷ Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control. Ŷ Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation. KICKBACK CAUSES AND RELATED WARNINGS: Ŷ Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator. Ŷ When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator. Ŷ If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator. Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below. Ŷ Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Ŷ When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding. Ŷ When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted. Ŷ Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel. Ŷ Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback. Ŷ Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback. Ŷ Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.English

Ŷ Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut. Ŷ Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris. Ŷ Lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound cuts”. Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically. Ŷ Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

Ŷ The dust produced when using the product may be harmful to your health, inflammable, or explosive. Do not inhale the dust. Use a dust extraction system, and wear a suitable dust protection mask. Remove deposited dust thoroughly, e.g., with a brush and vacuum cleaner. Ŷ Do not use any abrasive wheels. Ŷ Avoid overheating the blade tips. Do not use dull or damaged blades. Do not force the tool. Ŷ Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than recommended. Ŷ Wear ear protection. Ŷ Clamp workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped workpieces can cause severe injury and damage. Ŷ Thoroughly check the material to be cut, particularly when using recycled wood, for foreign objects such as nails, screws, and staples. If nails, screws, staples or similar items contact the blade whilst cutting, the saw will be damaged and severe injury to the operator or others may occur. Ŷ Do not touch the saw blade immediately after sawing. The saw blade gets hot during sawing. Ŷ Use only blade diameter(s) in accordance with the markings. Ŷ Identify the correct saw blade to be used for the material to be cut. Ŷ Use only saw blades that are marked with a speed equal or higher than the speed marked on the tool. Ŷ Use only saw blades recommended by the manufacturer, which conform to EN 847-1, if intended for wood and analogous materials. Ŷ Wear a dust mask. Ŷ Ambient temperature range for tool during operation is between 0°C and 40°C. Ŷ Ambient temperature range for tool storage is between 0°C and 40°C. Ŷ The recommended ambient temperature range for the charging system during charging is between 10°C and 38°C.

ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit. Ŷ Ambient temperature range for battery during use is between 0°C and 40°C. Ŷ Ambient temperature range for battery storage is between 0°C and 20°C.

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. RESIDUAL RISKS Even when the product 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: Ŷ Injury caused by kickback – Read and understand the information in this manual. Ŷ Injury caused by vibration – Limit exposure. See Risk Reduction. Ŷ 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. Ŷ 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.English

NOTE: When working on walls, ceilings, or floors, take care to avoid electric cables and gas or water pipes. Ŷ Injury from contact with the cutting blade – The blades are sharp and will become hot during use. Wear gloves when changing blades. Keep hands away from the cutting area at all times. Never hold workpiece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Clamp the work piece whenever possible. 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 fingers, 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: Ŷ Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit, wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome. Ŷ After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood circulation. Ŷ 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.
