PREPARATION
WARNING: 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.
CHANGING THE SANDING PAD (Fig. 1)
CAUTION: Switch off the sander and disconnect it from the
power point.
There are three interchangeable bases:
•1/3 sheet sanding pad (6) – for general sanding over moderate-
ly-sized areas.
•Random orbit sanding pad (7) – designed to rapidly smooth
down large flat surfaces where the random action helps prevent
the occurrence of swirl marks and other scratches.
•Delta sanding pad (8) – ideal for flat sanding and for reaching
into corners and along edges.
1. Remove the four hex fixing screws (4) using hex key (5).
2. Fit the base required for the sanding operation and replace the
four hex screws.
SANDPAPER SELECTION
Selecting the correct size, grit and type of sand paper is an ex-
tremely important step in achieving a high quality sanded finish.
Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic abrasives
are best for power sanding. Natural abrasives, such as flint and
garnet are too soft for economical use in power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and finer grit
will produce the best finish in all sanding operations. The condi-
tion of the surface to be sanded will determine which grit will do
the job. If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit and sand
until the surface is uniform. Medium grit may then be used to
remove scratches left by the coarser grit and finer grit used for
finishing of the surface. Always continue sanding with each grit
until surface is uniform.

80-grit sanding paper Coarse sanding
120-grit sanding paper Light sanding
150-grit sanding paper Light sanding
ATTACHING SANDING PAER
Inspect sanding paper before installing. Do not use if broken or
defective.
A. Hook and loop sanding paper (Fig. 2)
Align holes in hook and loop type sanding paper with holes in
pad, then carefully press fuzzy side of sanding disc against pad
as tightly as possible.
NOTE: It is recommended that you keep the sanding disc back-
ing pad clean to provide for best adhesion. Clean occasionally by
brushing lightly with a small brush.
B. Non-adhesive sanding paper
1. Release the paper clamp. Remove used sanding paper, if any.
2. Insert the new sanding paper under the paper clamp.
3. Clamp the sanding paper in place.
ATTACING DUST EXTRACTION CANISTER (Fig. 3, 4)
WARNING: Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out
any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
Attach the dust extraction canister (3) to the sander by pushing
and twisting the bayonet fitting.
WARNING: For optimum dust extraction, remove and empty the
canister when it is no more than half full. Do not use the canister
when sanding metal. The hot metal particles could cause residual
wood dust or the internal bag itself to catch fire.
Remove the cap from the end of the canister to access the inter-
nal bag when you wish to replace or clean the bag. The bag can
be washed. Make sure the bag is completely dry before replacing
it.
OPERATION
WARNING: Do not use sander without sandpaper, doing so will
damage the cushion.
CAUTION: Keep the cord away from the sanding pad and posi-
tion the cord so that it will not be caught on lumber, tools, or other
objects during sanding.
TURNING THE SANDER ON/OFF (Fig. 5)
Push the left-hand side "I" of the sealed on/off switch (1) to turn
the sander ON.
Push the right-hand side "O" of the sealed on/off switch to turn
the sander OFF.
OPERATING THE SANDER
DO NOT USE THE TOOL WITH AIR VENTS COVERED FOR A
LONG TIME SINCE THE MOTOR BURNOUT MAY RESULT.
MAKE SURE THAT THE WORKPIECE IS FREE OF NAILS
AND OTHER FOREIGN OBJECTS WHICH COULD TEAR THE
ABRASIVE PAPER.
Always start the sander before applying it to the workpiece.
Move the sander evenly over the entire area. The weight of the
sander alone is sufficient for normal use. Any excess pressure
will retard the sanding action, leave an uneven finish and cause
5
extra wear to both the tool and the abrasive paper. Never operate
the sander in one place for too long or excessive material will be
removed.
Always lift the sander off the workpiece before turning it off. The
sander should never be turned off while resting on the workpiece
or when removing material.
Do not use the sander without abrasive paper, or the rubber pad
will be damaged.
CAUTION!
This sander is designed for DRY APPLICATIONS ONLY!
Never use water on the sanding pad and do not use the
sander on wet surfaces.
MAINTENANCE
After use, check the tool to make sure that it is in top condition.
It is recommended that you take this tool to a RYOBI Authorized
Service Center for a thorough cleaning and lubrication at least
once a year.
DO NOT MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS WHILE THE MOTOR IS
IN MOTION.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD FROM THE RE-
CEPTACLE BEFORE CHANGING REMOVABLE OR EXPEND-
ABLE PARTS (SANDING PAPER ETC.), LUBRICATING OR
WORKING ON THE UNIT.
