MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical RIDGID® re-
placement parts. Use of any other parts may create
a hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING:
The tool should never be connected to a power
supply when you are assembling parts, making
adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or
when the tool is not in use. Disconnecting the tool
will prevent accidental starting that could cause
serious injury.
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 uids, 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 berglass material, wallboard,
spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accel-
erated wear and possible premature failure because the
berglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bear-
ings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not
recommended 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 suf-
cient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the tool
under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further
lubrication is required.
