WARNING
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 from the power
supply 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.
■ 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 fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
■ 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.
■ If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized
service center to avoid risk. Contact authorized service
center.
■ For greater safety and reliability, all repairs should be
performed by an Authorised Ryobi Service Centre.
WARNING
Electrical tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard,
spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to
accelerated wear and possible premature failure
because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly
abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. We do
not recommend using the product for extended work on
these types of materials..
WARNING
Do not use compressed air to blow dust from the product.
This practice is dangerous and can cause dirt and grit to
be blasted into someone's eyes, causing injury.
LUbRIcATION
All of the bearings in the product are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life span of
the product under normal operating conditions. Therefore,
no further lubrication is required.
cLEANING THE ScRUbbING PADS
Coarse sanding
To ensure longer life and optimum performance, periodically
clean all sanding residue and foreign materials from the
Light sanding
scrubbing pads. This can be done by rinsing the pad with
Light sanding
warm water until all foreign material has been washed
away. After cleaning, gently squeeze the pad to remove
excess water and allow pad to dry. Always store pads and
sanding sheets flat in a cool dry location.
cLEANING THE SANDING SHEETS
The sanding sheets that come with the product 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.
To clean sanding sheets, 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 the
product before cleaning. Failure to do so could cause
serious personal injury.
