 WARNING

When servicing, use only identical RYOBI replacement 

parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or 

cause product damage.

 WARNING

Always remove the sanding sheet from the product 

before cleaning. Failure to do so could cause serious 

personal injury.

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, 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 accelerated 

wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass 

chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, 

brushes and commutators. The manufacturer does not 

recommend the use of the product for extended periods of 

time on these types of materials.
After each use, remove the sanding sheet and dust 

collector if fitted. Clean the dust collector as shown in the 

illustrations in this manual. Clean the tool thoroughly with a 

brush, dry cloth and vacuum cleaner.

 

 WARNING

Do not use compressed air to blow dust from the product 

to prevent serious eye injury.

For greater safety and reliability, all repairs should be 

performed by an authorised RYOBI service centre.

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 

lubrication is required.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
