Maintenance; Extension Cords - Ryobi CSS1000 Owner's Operating Manual

WARNING: When servicing, use only
identical Ryobi replacement parts. Use
of any other part may create a hazard
or cause product damage.
■ GENERAL
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and may be
damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove
dirt, carbon dust, etc.
WARNING: Do not at any time let brake
fluids, gasoline, petroleum based
products, penetrating oils, etc. come
into contact with plastic parts. They
contain chemicals that can damage,
weaken or destroy plastic.
It has been found that electric tools are subject to
accelerated wear and possible premature failure
when they are used on fibreglass boats, sports cars,
wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster. The
chips and grindings from these materials are highly
abrasive to electric tool parts such as bearings,
brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, it is not
recommended that this tool be used for extended
work on any fibreglass material, wallboard, spackling
compounds, or plaster. During any use on these
materials it is extremely important that the tool is
cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet.
■ LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life
of the unit under normal operating conditions.
Therefore, no further lubrication is required.

■ EXTENSION CORDS

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of
power. To keep power loss to a minimum and to
prevent tool overheating, use an extension cord that is
heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw.
A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is
recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in
length. When working outdoors, use an extension
cord that is suitable for outdoor use.
CAUTION: Keep extension cords away
from the cutting area and position the
cord so that it will not get caught on
timber, tools, etc. during cutting
operation.
WARNING: Check extension cords
before each use. If damaged, replace
immediately. Never use tool with a
damaged cord since touching the
damaged area could cause electrical
shock resulting in serious injury.

MAINTENANCE

If the supply cord is damaged, it shall be replaced by
the manufacturer or its service agent in order to
avoid a hazard.
Disconnect from the supply immediately, if the
supply cable is damaged.
Take care not to expose this tool to rain.
Due to Ryobi's continued product refinement
policy, product features and specifications can and
will change without notice. Check current features
and specifications with your Ryobi retailer.
