MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

When servicing use only identical RIDGID® replace- ment parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.

GENERAL

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plas- tics are susceptible to damage from various types of com- mercial 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, 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 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.
