Additional Safety Warnings; Residual Risks - Ryobi R18CS Traduction Des Instructions Originales

LOWER GUARD FUNCTION
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.
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.
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.
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

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.
Do not use any abrasive wheels.
Avoid overheating the blade tips. Do not use dull or
damaged blades. Do not force the tool.
Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than
recommended.
Wear ear protection.
Clamp workpiece with
Unclamped workpieces can cause severe injury and
damage.
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.
Do not touch the saw blade immediately after
sawing. The saw blade gets hot during sawing.
Use only blade diameter(s) in accordance with the
markings.
Identify the correct saw blade to be used for the material
to be cut.
Use only saw blades that are marked with a speed
equal or higher than the speed marked on the tool.
Use only saw blades

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.
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.
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:
Injury caused by kickback
Read and understand the information in this manual.
–
Injury caused by vibration
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.
