RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
■ DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN
IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced
by a qualified service technician at an authorized
service center.
■ KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM OIL
AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth when
cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petro-
leum-based products, or any solvents to clean tool.
■ REPLACEMENT PARTS. All repairs, whether elec-
trical or mechanical, should be made at your nearest
authorized service center.
■ WHEN SERVICING, use only identical Ryobi re-
placement parts. Use of any other parts may create
a hazard or cause product damage.
■ NEVER USE THIS TOOL IN AN EXPLOSIVE AT-
MOSPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could
ignite fumes.
■ POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this tool has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polar-
ized 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.
■ NEVER USE THIS OR ANY POWER SANDER
FOR WET SANDING. Failure to comply can result
in electrical shock causing serious injury.
■ DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UNDER
THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR
ANY MEDICATION.
■ STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. Watch
what you are doing and use common sense. Do not
operate tool when you are tired. Do not rush.
■ ALWAYS TURN OFF THE TOOL before disconnect-
ing it to avoid accidental starting when reconnecting
to power supply. NEVER leave the tool unattended
while connected to a power source.
■ SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them fre-
quently and use them to instruct other users. 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 examples
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, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
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.
