MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

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

GENERAL

All parts represent an important part of the double insulation system and should be serviced only at an authorized service center.

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.

Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommend using 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.

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. Failure to do so could result in possible serious injury.

LUBRICATION

All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high-grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions.Therefore, no further lubrication is required.

CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT AND EMPTYING THE DUST BAG

See Figure 12.

After using the planer for an extended period of time or when planing wet or green lumber, chips may build-up in the exhaust port. and require cleaning. Chip build-up restricts air flow and causes the motor to overheat. Clean the exhaust port and empty the dust bag regu- larly.

1. Unplug the planer.

WARNING:

Failure to unplug your planer could result in accidental starting causing serious injury.

2.Remove the dust bag from the exhaust port.

3.Clean the chip or dust build-up from the exhaust port of your planer with a small piece of wood. Do not use your hands or fingers.

4.Empty all debris from the dust bag and ensure that the collar is free of debris.

5.Replace the dust bag.
