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, penetrating oils, etc. come in contact
with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can
damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
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 lubrication
is required.
It has been found that electric tools are subject to accelerated
wear and possible premature failure when they are used on
fiberglass boats, sports cars, wallboard, spackling compounds,
or plaster. The chips and grindings from these materials are
highly abrasive to electric tool parts such as bearings, brushes,
commutators, etc. Consequently, it is not recommended that
this tool be used for extended work on any fiberglass material,
wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster. During any use
on these materials, it is extremely important that the tool is
cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet.
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.
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement parts. Use of any other parts can create a
hazard or cause product damage.
