MAINTENANCE
The product should never be connected to a power
supply when assembling parts, making adjustments,
cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the product
is not in use. Disconnecting the product will prevent
accidental starting that could cause serious injury.
When servicing, use only identical Ryobi replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.
GENERAL
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean
cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
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 the product 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
product 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.
