Ryobi P410 General Maintenance, Battery Pack Removal Preparation for Recycling

OPERATION

Turn on the sander and move it slowly over the workpiece. Make successive passes in parallel lines, circles, or crosswise movements.

Turn off the sander and wait until the sanding disc comes to a complete stop before removing it from the workpiece.

Do not force. The weight of the sander supplies adequate pressure to do the work. Applying additional pressure only slows the motor, rapidly wears the sanding sheet, and greatly reduces sander speed. Excessive pressure will overload the

motor causing possible damage from overheating and can result in inferior work. Any finish or resin on wood may soften from the frictional heat. Do not sand on one spot too long as the sander’s rapid action may remove too much material, making the surface uneven.

Extended periods of sanding may overheat the motor. If this occurs, turn the sander off and wait until the sanding sheet comes to a complete stop. Remove sander from workpiece. Remove sanding disc, then turn sander on and run it free without a load to cool the motor.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other part could create a hazard or cause

product damage.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and can 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 could result in serious personal

injury.
