INSTALLING
ADHESIVE
SANDPAPER - FOR ALL BASE PADS
See Figure 9 and 10.
1. Unplug the sander.
2. Align holes in hook and loop type sanding disc with
holes in pad, then carefully press fuzzy side of sanding
disc against pad as tightly as possible.
NOTE: Hook and loop type sanding discs can be reused
for the life of the sanding abrasive. It is recommended that
you keep the sanding disc backing pad clean to provide for
best adhesion. Clean occasionally by brushing lightly with
a small brush.
Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious injury.
INSTALLING NON-ADHESIVE SANDPAPER - 1/3
SHEET PAD ONLY
See Figure 11.
1. Unplug the sander.
2. Release the paper clamp. Remove used sandpaper,
if any.
3. Insert the new sandpaper under the paper clamp.
4. Clamp the sandpaper in place.
ORBITAL MOTION
Orbital motion is ideal for fast cutting action when removing
old fi nishes, smoothing rough wood, cutting stock down to
required dimensions or for fi nishing surfaces to be painted.
The sandpaper moves in tiny circles at a very high speed,
allowing the sander to move easily.
USING THE FINGER PAD
See Figure 12.
1. Open the fi nger pad cover.
2. Lower the fi nger pad and lock it in place.
3. Close the fi nger pad cover.
LIVE TOOL INDICATOR
This tool features a live tool indicator which illuminates as
soon as the tool is connected to the supply. This warns the
user that the tool is connected and will operate when the
switch is pressed.
MAINTENANCE
The tool should never be connected to a power supply
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the tool is
not in use. Disconnecting the tool will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious injury.
(HOOK
AND
WARNING
WARNING
LOOP)
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,
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 SHEETS
The sanding sheets that came with your sander are
made to be re-used. Therefore, it is important that they
be cleaned periodically to remove sanding residue and
foreign material that can accumulate over time.
One of the ways to clean sanding sheets is to rub the
sheets with a hard rubber block. You can also use the clean
rubber sole of a shoe.
Always remove scrubbing or sanding pad from sander
before cleaning. Failure to do so could cause serious
personal injury.
