tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
■
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
■
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
■
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
BATTERY TOOL CARE AND USE
■
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
■
Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire
■
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fire.
■
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
SERVICE
■
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that safety of the power tool is maintained.

WARNING
When using the EasyStart electrical wrench to start your
Ryobi petrol-powered garden tool, it is not necessary to
pull the starter rope. There is an EasyStart port on the
rear or on the top of the engine of your garden tools.
It has a small hole in the centre into which the starter
bit is inserted. Around this hole are circular grooves
and ridges which help to locate the EasyStart electrical
wrench in the correct position and press the safety
interlock pin. Depending on which type of Ryobi garden
tool you are attempting to start, there will be either a
triangular symbol or a pentagon symbol marked nearby.
This symbol shows you which shape of the starter bit
must be inserted into your engine to start it.
Safety instructions and warnings are different for each
type of garden tool, so you must read and understand
the instruction manual for that specific tool. There are
also differences between garden tools on how to set the
throttle and choke controls etc. in order to effectively
start the engine and allow it to run efficiently. You must
therefore read the specific details about your garden
tool before you attempt to use the EasyStart electrical
wrench to start your engine.
