RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
19.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see
that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed
from tool before turning it on.
20.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Don't carry
plugged-in tools with finger on switch. Be sure
switch is off when plugging in.
21.
MAKE SURE YOUR EXTENSION CORD IS IN
GOOD CONDITION. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An under-
sized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. A
wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recom-
mended for an extension cord 100 feet or less
in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not
recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier
the cord.
22
OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When
tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords
suitable for use outdoors. Outdoor approved
cords are marked with the suffix W-A, for ex-
ample - SJTW-A or SJOW-A.
23.
NEVER USE THIS OR ANY POWER SANDER
FOR WET SANDING OR LIQUID POLISH-
ING. Failure to comply can result in electrical
shock causing serious injury or worse.
24.
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM SANDING AREA.
25.
NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMO-
SPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could
ignite fumes.
26.
INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and
if damaged, have repaired by an authorized
service center. Stay constantly aware of cord
location.
27.
INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODI-
CALLY and replace if damaged.
28.
KEEP HANDLES DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE
FROM OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean
cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products or solvents
to clean your tool.
29.
STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing and
use common sense. Do not operate tool when
you are tired. Do not rush.
30.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further
use of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to deter-
mine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment of mov-
ing parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center.
31.
DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT
TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches
replaced by an authorized service center.
32.
Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber
before sanding.
33.
DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not
operate tool while under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or any medication.
34.
When servicing use only identical Ryobi
replacement parts.
35.
POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this equipment has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way.
36.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them
frequently and use them to instruct others who
may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool,
loan them these instructions also.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some ex-
amples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depend-
ing on how often you do this type of work. To re-
duce your exposure to these chemicals: work in
a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust masks that
are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
