RIDGID R84040 manual General Maintenance, Using the BAG

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

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

WARNING:

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.

WARNING:

To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the battery pack from the tool when cleaning or performing any maintenance.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

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, dust, oil, grease, etc.

WARNING:

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.

To work properly, the plunger rod of the tool must remain clean and free of all caulk and adhesive material. If material does get on the plunger rod mechanism, clean the mate- rial off according to the directions of the caulk or adhesive manufacturer.

When the tool is shut off by the electronic overload protection system, always wait for 3 to 5 seconds before depressing the trigger for restart. Frequently depressing and releasing the trigger under these circumstances may cause interior damage to the caulk gun.

Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts should be replaced at a RIDGID authorized service center.
