USER MANUAL R18CS7 RYOBI

Safety, performance, and dependability have been given top priority in the design of your cordless circular saw. INTENDED USE The product 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 saw is designed for rip cross cutting of wood up to a maximum depth of 60mm. It can make straight or bevelled cuts between 0 and 56 degrees. It 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 circular saw is designed for handheld use. It is not to be PRXQWHG RQWR D ZRUNEHQFK XQOHVV VSHFL¿F LQVWUXFWLRQV about how to do this are given by the manufacturer of the saw. Do not use for cutting metal or masonry.

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 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 power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only 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 RIWKHNHUIDQGMXPSEDFNWRZDUGWKHRSHUDWRU .LFNEDFN LV WKH UHVXOW RI VDZ PLVXVH DQGRU LQFRUUHFW 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 VDZ WR MXPS EDFNZDUGV EXW NLFNEDFN IRUFHV FDQ EH 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 DGMXVWPHQW VKLIWV ZKLOH FXWWLQJ LW PD\ FDXVH ELQGLQJ and kickback.

LOWER GUARD FUNCTION

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 make2 | English 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 Use only blades specified in this manual, complying with EN 847-1. 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. 8QFODPSHG ZRUNSLHFHV FDQ FDXVH VHYHUH LQMXU\ DQG 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 ZLOOEHGDPDJHGDQGVHYHUHLQMXU\WRWKHRSHUDWRURU others may occur. Ŷ Do not touch the saw blade immediately after sawing. The saw blade gets hot during sawing.
