MAINTENANCE

WARNING
The tool should never be connected to a power
supply when you are assembling parts, making
adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance,
English
or when the tool is not in use. Disconnecting the
tool will prevent accidental starting that could cause
serious injury.
WARNING
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replace-
ment parts. Use of any other parts may create a
hazard or cause product damage.
GENERAL
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial sol-
vents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths
to remove dirt, carbon dust,
WARNING
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petro-
leum based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in
contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals
that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard,
spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to acceler-
ated wear and possible premature failure because the
fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bear-
ings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not
recommend 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.
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.
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.
CLEANING THE SCRUBBING PADS
To ensure longer life and optimum performance, periodically
clean all sanding residue and foreign materials from the
scrubbing pads. This can be done simply by rinsing the pad
with 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.
