Ryobi DS1100 Operator's Manual page 5

Your sander is suitable for sanding with coarse, medium, and
fine grit sandpaper. It will produce a fine scratch free finish
when used to sand with the grain on wood surfaces. By
purchasing optional accessories, it can also be used as a
polisher or scraper.
Before attempting to use your sander, familiarize yourself
with all operating features and safety requirements.
See Figure 1.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety, in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire
grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated
from the internal metal motor components with protecting
insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.
IMPORTANT
Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme
care and knowledge of the system and should be performed
only by a qualified service technician. For service we suggest
you return the tool to your nearest RYOBI AUTHORIZED
SERVICE CENTER for repair. When servicing use only
identical Ryobi replacement parts.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your sander has a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only
(normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss
of power and the motor willl overheat. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.

WARNING:
The double insulated system is intended to protect the
user from shock resulting from a break in the tool's
internal wiring. Observe all normal safety precautions
related to avoiding electrical shock.
OSCILLATING MOTION
The oscillating motion sands 3.0 mm arcs, providing fast
cutting action with excellent sanding results. As the name
implies, this tool has been designed primarily for detailed and
intricate sanding. For example, refinishing furniture, chairs,
etc., enabling you to sand in places that are hard to get to.
SWITCH
This tool is equipped with a simple switch control. To turn your
sander ON, depress the switch button as shown in Figure 1.
