RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
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
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.
Keep tool dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake
fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any solvents
to clean tool.
Stay alert. Never operate a power tool when tired or
while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
Have defective switches replaced by an authorized ser-
vice center.
Always turn switch off before disconnecting it to avoid
accidental starting.
All repairs, whether electrical or mechanical, should
be made at a Ryobi Authorized Service Center. Use only
Ryobi identical replacement parts.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use to instruct other users. If you loan someone this tool,
loan them these instructions also.
