MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING:
The buffer/polisher should never be connected to a power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the tool is not in use. Disconnecting the tool will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious injury.
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, petro-
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.
APPLICATION AND BUFFING BONNETS
Both the application and buffing bonnets are reusable. For maximum life and performance, hand wash after use and allow them to air dry. If needed, the bonnets can be machine washed in cold water with a small amount of detergent, then machine dried using low heat.
FOAM PAD
It is important that the pad retains its original shape and dimensions. Allow it to dry completely after each use. Make sure to remove the bonnets, wash them and store separately. Polisher should be stored with the pad facing up in order to extend pad life and retain its shape. Be careful not to use too much polish at one time. If the pad becomes saturated, it will not last as long.
MOTOR AND INTERNAL COMPONENTS
The motor and internal components are designed to be maintenance free. The exterior surface can be cleaned with a mild soap and damp sponge.
If you suspect a problem with the motor or other internal components, do not attempt to remove the motor housing or otherwise expose the internal components. Contact Ryobi Customer Service at
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the tool under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required.
