Ryobi P514 Manuale Utente

9 – English

See Figure 5, page 12.
The saw is equipped with a lock-off button which reduces 
the possibility of accidental starting. The lock-off button is 
located on the handle above the switch trigger. You must 
depress the lock-off button in order to pull the switch trigger. 
The lock resets each time the trigger is released. You can 
depress the lock-off button from either the left or right side.

See Figure 6, page 12.
Hold the saw firmly in front of and clearly away from you. 
Make sure saw blade is clear of any foreign material. Be sure 
material to be cut is held firmly. Small work pieces should be 
securely clamped in a vise or with clamps to the work bench 
or table. Mark the line of cut clearly. Depress the lock-off 
button, then pull switch trigger to start the cutting action. 
Place the base assembly against the work, then move the 
blade into the work. 

Do not force. Use only enough pressure 

to keep the saw cutting. Let the blade and saw do the work. 
Use of excessive pressure that causes bending or twisting 
of the blade may result in broken blades.

See Figure 7, page 12.
Mark the line of cut clearly. Choose a convenient starting 
point inside the area to be cut out and place the tip of the 
blade over that point. Rest front edge of base (shoe) assem-
bly on work and hold firmly in position. Depress the lock-off 
button, then pull switch trigger to start the cutting action. 

Make sure blade does not touch work until motor reaches 
full speed, since this could cause loss of control resulting 
in serious injury.

With saw blade at full cutting speed, slowly tilt saw downward 
until tip of blade starts cutting work. After blade penetrates 
work, tilt saw until blade is perpendicular to the work.

See Figure 8, page 12.
Metals such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods, aluminum, 
brass, and copper may be cut with the saw. Be careful not to 
twist or bend the saw blade. 

Do not force. We recommend 

cutting oil when cutting most soft metals and steel. Cutting 
oil will also keep blades cool, increase cutting action, and 
prolong blade life.
Never use gasoline since normal sparking of motor could 
ignite fumes. Clamp the work firmly and cut close to the 
clamping point to eliminate any vibration of the work being 
cut. When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp work 
in a vise if possible and cut close to the vise. To cut thin 
sheet material, sandwich the material between hardboard 
or plywood and clamp the layers to eliminate vibration and 
material tearing.
