MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE SCRUBBING PADS
To ensure longer life and optimum performance, periodically
clean all sanding residue and foreign materials from the
scrubbing pads. This can be done simply by rinsing the pad
with warm water untill all foreign material has been washed
away. After cleaning, gently squeeze the pad to remove
excess water and allow pad to dry. Always store pads and
sanding sheets flat in a cool dry location.
CLEANING THE SANDING SHEETS
The sanding sheets that came with your sander are made to
be re-used. Therefore, it is important that they be cleaned
periodically to remove sanding residue and foreign material
that can accumulate over time.
To clean sanding sheets, rub the sheets with a hard rubber
block. You can also use the clean rubber sole of a shoe.
WARNING:
Always remove scrubbing or sanding pad from sander
before cleaning. Failure to do so could cause serious per-
sonal injury.
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.
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
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.
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spack-
ling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear
and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips
and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, com-
mutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended us-
ing 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 sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication
is required.
