Maintenance - Ryobi EBS800 Original Instructions Manual

SPECIAL SAFETY RULES
■ Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
because the belt may contact its own cord. Cutting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
■ Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask when
sanding, especially sanding overhead.
■ A suitable breathing respirator must be worn while
sanding lead paint, some woods and metal to avoid
breathing the harmful/toxic dust or air.
■ The machine is not suitable for wet sanding.
■ Do not use sanding belt larger than needed.
Do not throw sanding dust on an open fire because
materials in fi ne particle form may be explosive.
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this
has to be done by the manufacturer or his agent in order
to avoid a safety hazard.

MAINTENANCE

The tool should never be connected to a power supply
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments,

not in use. Disconnecting the tool will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious injury.

WARNING
Do not at any time let brake fl uids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc. come in contact
with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
Electric tools used on fi berglass material, wallboard,
spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated
wear and possible premature failure because the fi berglass
chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings,
brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not
recommend using this tool for extended work on these
types of materials. However, if you do work with any of
these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool
using compressed air.
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during power tool operation or when blowing
dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a suffi cient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit
under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further
lubrication is required.
CLEANING THE SANDING BELT
The sanding belt that came with your sander is made to
be re-used. Therefore, it is important that it be cleaned
periodically to remove sanding residue and foreign material
that can accumulate over time. One of the ways to clean
sanding belt is to rub the sheets with a hard rubber block.
You can also use the clean rubber sole of a shoe.
Always remove the sanding belt from sander before
cleaning. Failure to do so could cause serious personal
injury.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Recycle raw materials instead of disposing
of as waste. The machine, accessories
and packaging should be sorted for
environmental-friendly recycling.
