OPERATION
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using the tool continuously, the batteries in the battery
pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery pack cool
down for approximately 30 minutes before attempting to
recharge. When the battery pack becomes discharged and
is hot, this will cause the green LED to come on instead of
the red LED. After 30 minutes, reinsert the battery pack in
the charger. If the green LED continues to remain on, return
battery pack to your nearest Ryobi Authorized Service Center
for checking or replacing.
NOTE: This situation only occurs when continuous use of
the tool causes the batteries to become hot. It does not
occur under normal circumstances. Refer to “CHARGING
A COOL BATTERY PACK” for normal recharging of batter-
ies. If the charger does not charge your battery pack under
normal circumstances, return both the battery pack and
charger to your nearest Ryobi Authorized Service Center
for electrical check.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACK
See Figure 2.
WARNING:
Always be sure the switch is in the OFF (O) position before
installing the battery pack. Failure to do so could cause
accidental starting, leading to serious personal injury.
NOTE: The battery pack is shipped in a low charge condi-
tion. Therefore, it must be charged prior to use. Refer to
page 10, “CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK” for charging
instructions.
n Place the battery pack in the sander. Align the raised rib
on the battery pack with the groove inside the sander,
then slide the battery pack into the sander.
n Make sure the latches on each side of your battery pack
snap into place and the battery pack is secured in the
sander before beginning operation.
CAUTION:
When placing battery pack in the tool, be sure raised
rib on battery pack aligns with the bottom of the sander
and latches into place properly. Improper installa-
tion of the battery pack can cause damage to internal
components.
REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK
See Figure 3.
n Locate the latches on the side of the battery pack and
