immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about
these symptoms.

OPERATION

The product is supplied with an extra adapter for use with
other brands of cutting, scraping, and sanding accessories.
The adapter may be turned over for use with the desired
brands of accessories. Do not use the adapter with RYOBI
accessories supplied with your tool.
Secure workpieces that can move with a clamp to
prevent movement during sanding or cutting operations.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING
The product should never be connected to a power supply
when you are 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 original manufacturer's
replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a
hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING
For greater safety and reliability, all repairs should be
performed by an authorised RYOBI service centre.
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.
WARNING
Do not, at any time, let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, and penetrating oils, come in contact
with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can
damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
The dust from plaster and wall board is abrasive and may
cause premature failure of the product if it is allowed to
enter the motor area. Thoroughly clean the product after
use by using a brush and a vacuum. Take care not to
push dirt into the ventilation openings. Beware of using
compressed air to clean the product because dust and grit
can cause serious eye 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.
