Additional Safety Rules - Ryobi PGC21B Manuel D'utilisation

 Know your power tool. Read the operator's manual
carefully. Learn the applications and limitations as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
 Always wear eye protection with side shields which
is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when using this
product. Failure to do so could result in objects being
thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.
 Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool
is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
 Never touch blade or other moving parts during use.
 Double check all setups. Make sure blade is tight and
not making contact with saw or workpiece before con-
necting to power supply.
 If you choose to use the saw on a workbench or table,
firmly clamp or bolt your tool to the work surface at
approximately hip height.
 Never move the workpiece or make adjustment to any
cutting angle while the saw is running and the blade
is rotating. Any slip can result in contact with the blade
causing serious personal injury.
 Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where
a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the
blade. ALWAYS make sure you have good balance.
 Do not turn the motor switch on and off rapidly. This
could cause the saw blade to loosen and could create
a hazard. Should this ever occur, stand clear and allow
the saw blade to come to a complete stop. Disconnect
your saw from the power supply and securely retighten
the blade bolt.
 If any part of this flooring saw is missing or should
break, bend, or fail in any way, or should any electrical
component fail to perform properly, shut off the power
switch, remove the flooring saw plug from the battery and
have damaged, missing, or failed parts replaced before
resuming operation.
 Always turn off the saw before removing the battery to
avoid accidental starting when reconnecting to power
supply. NEVER leave the saw unattended with battery
installed.
 This tool should have the following markings:
• To reduce the risk of injury, user must read the opera-
tor's manual.
• Wear eye protection.
• Keep hands and body out of the path of the saw blade.
Contact with the blade will result in serious injury.
• Check guarding system to make sure it is functioning
correctly.
• Do not perform any operation freehand.
• Never reach around the saw blade.
• Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop before
moving workpiece or changing settings.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

• Remove the battery pack before changing blade or
servicing.
 Always carry the tool only by the carrying handle.
 Always make sure the saw blade has clearance of
all obstructions before turning the saw on.
 Use a different blade for each type of material being
cut such as LVT and wood flooring.
GUARDING RELATED WARNINGS
 Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working
order and be properly mounted. A guard that is loose,
damaged, or is not functioning correctly must be repaired
or replaced.
 Always use saw blade guard, riving knife and anti-
kickback device for every rip cut.
 Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the guard,
riving knife or the workpiece before the switch is
turned on. Inadvertent contact of these items with the
saw blade could cause a hazardous condition.
 Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction
manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment can
make the riving knife ineffective in reducing the likelihood
of kickback.
 For the riving knife and anti-kickback device to work,
they must be engaged in the workpiece. The riving
knife and anti-kickback device are ineffective when cut-
ting workpieces that are too short to be engaged with
the riving knife and anti-kickback device. Under these
conditions a kickback cannot be prevented by the riving
knife and antikickback device.
 Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife.
For the riving knife to function properly, the saw blade
diameter must match the appropriate riving knife and the
body of the saw blade must be thinner than the thickness
of the riving knife and the cutting width of the saw blade
must be wider than the thickness of the riving knife.
CUTTING PROCEDURES WARNINGS
 DANGER: Never place your fingers or hands in the
vicinity or in line with the saw blade. A moment of inat-
tention or a slip could direct your hand towards the saw
blade and result in serious personal injury.
 Feed the workpiece into the saw blade only against
the direction of rotation. Feeding the workpiece in the
same direction that the saw blade is rotating above the
table may result in the workpiece, and your hand, being
pulled into the saw blade.
 When ripping, always apply the workpiece feeding
force between the fence and the saw blade. Use a
push stick when the distance between the fence and
the saw blade is less than 6 in. (150 mm), and use
a push block when this distance is less than 2 in.
(50 mm). Work helping devices will keep your hand at a
safe distance from the saw blade.
