Maintenance - Ryobi RB101 Operator's Manual

WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
WARNING:
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.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.
Electric 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, commuta-
tors, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended 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.

MAINTENANCE

LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrica-
tion is required.
APPLICATION AND BUFFING BONNETS
Both the application and buffing bonnets are reusable. For
maximum life and performance, hand wash after use and
allow them to air dry. If needed, the bonnets can be machine
washed in cold water with a small amount of detergent, then
machine dried using low heat.
FOAM PAD
It is important that the pad retains its original shape and
dimensions. Allow it to dry completely after each use.
Make sure to remove the bonnets, wash them, and store
separately. Polisher should be stored with the pad facing
up in order to extend pad life and retain its shape. Be careful
not to use too much polish at one time. If the pad becomes
saturated, it will not last as long.
MOTOR AND INTERNAL COMPONENTS
The motor and internal components are designed to be
maintenance free. The exterior surface can be cleaned with
a mild soap and damp sponge.
If you suspect a problem with the motor or other internal
components, do not attempt to remove the motor hous-
ing or otherwise expose the internal components. Call
1-800-525-2579 for the authorized service center nearest
you.
