FEATURES

Your sander is suitable for sanding with coarse, medium, and fine grit sandpaper. It will produce a fine scratch free finish when used to sand with the grain on wood surfaces. By purchasing optional accessories, it can also be used as a polisher or scraper.

Before attempting to use your sander, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety requirements. See Figure 1.

DOUBLE INSULATION

Double insulation is a concept in safety, in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.

IMPORTANT

Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service we suggest you return the tool to your nearest RYOBI AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER for repair. When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement parts.

WARNING:

The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool's internal wiring. Observe all normal safety precautions related to avoiding electrical shock.

OSCILLATING MOTION

The oscillating motion sands 3.0 mm arcs, providing fast cutting action with excellent sanding results. As the name implies, this tool has been designed primarily for detailed and intricate sanding. For example, refinishing furniture, chairs, etc., enabling you to sand in places that are hard to get to.

SWITCH

This tool is equipped with a simple switch control. To turn your sander ON, depress the switch button as shown in Figure 1. Depress the switch button in the opposite direction to turn your sander OFF.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Your sander has a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor willl overheat. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.
