MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
CLEANING DUST BAG ASSEMBLY
See Figures 8 and 9.
As previously mentioned, for more efficient operation, empty dust bag when no more than half full. This will permit the air to flow through the bag better.
TO EMPTY DUST BAG:
■Unplug your sander.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug your sander could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury.
■Remove dust bag from sander and shake out dust. See Figure 8.
■For a more thorough cleaning of the dust bag, remove dust bag from frame, as shown in figure 9, and shake out dust.
■Replace dust bag over frame then install dust bag on sander.
GENERAL
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from 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.
When electric tools are used on fiberglass boats, sports cars, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster, it has been found that they are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure, as the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, it is not recommended that this tool be used for extended work on any fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster. During any use on fiberglass it is extremely important that the tool is cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet.
