Operation; Applications; Saw Blades - Ryobi CSB134L Manuel D'utilisation

DANGER:
Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade.
Keep your second hand on the front handle, or motor
housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot
be cut by the blade.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with this product to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict serious injury.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible
serious injury.

APPLICATIONS

You may use this product for the purposes listed below:
 Cutting all types of wood products (lumber, plywood,
paneling, composition board, and hard board)
 Cross cutting/rip cutting wood products
 Bevel cutting wood products
 Pocket cutting wood products
WARNING:
Never use abrasive cut-off wheels of any kind with this
saw. Use of non wood cutting blades can result in property
damage or serious personal injury.
KICKBACK
See Figures 5 - 8, page 18.
Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly and the saw
is driven back towards you. Blade stalling is caused by any
action which pinches the blade in the wood.
DANGER:
Release switch immediately if blade binds or saw stalls.
Kickback could cause you to lose control of the saw. Loss
of control can lead to serious injury.
To guard against kickback, avoid dangerous practices such
as the following:
 Setting blade depth incorrectly
 Sawing into knots or nails in workpiece
 Twisting the blade while making a cut

OPERATION

 Making a cut with a dull, gummed up, or improperly set
blade
 Supporting the workpiece incorrectly
 Forcing a cut
 Cutting warped or wet lumber
 Operating the tool incorrectly or misusing the tool
To lessen the chance of kickback, follow these safety
practices:
 Keep the blade at the correct depth setting. Less than a
full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the
workpiece.
 Inspect the workpiece for knots or nails before cutting.
Never saw into a knot or nail.
 Make straight cuts. Always use a straight edge guide
when rip cutting. This helps prevent twisting the blade.
 Use clean, sharp, and properly set blades. Never make
cuts with dull blades.
 Support and clamp the workpiece properly before begin-
ning a cut.
 Use steady, even pressure when making a cut. Never
force a cut.
 Do not cut warped or wet lumber.
 Hold the saw firmly with both hands and keep your body
in a balanced position so as to resist the forces if kickback
should occur.
WARNING:
When using the saw, always stay alert and exercise con-
trol. Do not remove the saw from the workpiece while the
blade is moving.

SAW BLADES

The best of saw blades will not cut efficiently if they are not
kept clean, sharp, and properly set. Using a dull blade will
place a heavy load on the saw and increase the danger of
kickback. Keep extra blades on hand, so that sharp blades
are always available.
Gum and wood pitch hardened on blades will slow the saw
down. Remove saw blade from the saw and use gum and
pitch remover, hot water, or kerosene to remove these ac-
cumulations. DO NOT USE GASOLINE.
BLADE GUARD SYSTEM
See Figure 9, page 18.
The lower blade guard attached to the circular saw is there
for your protection and safety. Do not alter it for any reason.
If it becomes damaged, do not operate the saw until you
have the guard repaired or replaced. Always leave guard in
operating position when using the saw.
