DUST BAG

DUST BAG

FRAME

WARNING:

When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.

CLEANING DUST BAG ASSEMBLY

See Figures 8 and 9.

As previously mentioned, for more efficient operation, empty
dust bag when no more than half full. This will permit the air
to flow through the bag better.

WARNING:

Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings
such as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc., can self ignite in
your sander dust bag or elsewhere and cause fire. To
reduce the risk of fire always empty your dust bag
frequently (10-15 minutes) while sanding and never
store or leave a sander without totally emptying its dust
bag. Also follow the recommendations of the coatings
manufacturers.

TO EMPTY DUST BAG:

Unplug your sander.

WARNING:

Failure to unplug your sander could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious personal injury.

Remove dust bag from sander and shake out dust.

 See

Figure 8.

For a more thorough cleaning of the dust bag, remove
dust bag from frame, as shown in figure 9, and shake out
dust.

Replace dust bag over frame then install dust bag on
sander.

GENERAL

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, 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.

When electric tools are used on fiberglass boats, sports
cars, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster, it has
been found that they are subject to accelerated wear and
possible premature failure, as the fiberglass chips and
grindings are highly abrasive to 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 fiberglass 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.

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.
