Lock-Off Button - Ryobi P555 Manual Del Operador

To guard against kickback, avoid dangerous practices
such as the following:
 Setting blade depth incorrectly.
 Sawing into knots or nails in workpiece.
 Twisting the cutting wheel/blade while making a cut.
 Making a cut with a dull, gummed up, or improperly set
cutting wheel/blade.
 Supporting the workpiece incorrectly.
 Forcing a cut.
 Cutting warped or wet lumber.
 Operating the tool incorrectly or misusing the tool.
 Rapidly plunging the cutting wheel/blade into the
workpiece.
To lessen the chance of kickback, follow these safety
practices:
 Keep the wheel/blade at the correct depth setting. The
depth setting should not exceed 1/4 in. below the material
being cut.
 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 wheel/
blade.
 Use clean, sharp, and properly set wheels/blades. Never
make cuts with dull wheels/blades.
 Support the workpiece properly before beginning 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.
 When performing pocket cuts, allow the wheel/blade to
reach full speed then apply slow, even downward pres-
sure to guide the wheel/blade into the workpiece.
WARNING:
When using the saw, always stay alert and exercise con-
trol. Do not remove the saw from the workpiece while the
cutting wheel/blade is moving.
OPERATION
LOWERING AND RAISING THE CUTTING
WHEEL/BLADE
See Figure 11, page 14.
To lower the cutting wheel/blade:
 Depress the lock-off button.
 Grasp the front handle and apply downward pressure to
lower and expose the wheel/blade.
NOTE: Maintain downward pressure to keep the wheel/
blade in a lowered position.
To raise the cutting wheel/blade:
 Slowly allow the front handle to rise until the cutting wheel/
blade is completely inside of the guard.
USING THE DEPTH LOCK KNOB
See Figures 11 - 13, pages 14 - 15.
Always keep correct blade depth setting. The correct blade
depth setting for all cuts should not exceed 1/4 in. below
the material being cut. More blade depth will increase the
chance of kickback and cause the cut to be rough. For more
depth of cut accuracy, scales are located at the front of the
tool and on the guard.
 Remove the battery pack.
 Loosen the depth lock knob.
 Determine the desired depth of cut.
 To use the depth of cut scale at the front of the tool:
Move the depth lock knob up or down to select the
desired depth setting.
To use the depth of cut scale on the guard: Lower the
cutting wheel/blade until the outer edges of the wheel/
blade align with your the desired depth setting. Continue
applying downward pressure to maintain depth and slide
the depth lock knob up until it contacts the body of the
tool.
 Tighten the depth lock knob.
WIDTH OF CUT SCALE
See Figure 14, page 15.
A width of cut scale is located on the base of the saw. The
scale can be used to measure up to 3 in. on the right side
of the wheel/blade.

LOCK-OFF BUTTON

See Figure 15, page 15.
The lock-off button reduces the possibility of accidental
starting. The lock-off button is located on the handle above
the switch trigger. The lock-off button must be depressed
before you pull the switch trigger or lower the wheel/blade.
The lock resets each time the trigger is released or the wheel/
blade is fully raised.
NOTE: You can depress the lock-off button from either the
left or right side.
