Ryobi RB101 manual Operation, Prepare the Surface, Attach the Application Bonnet

OPERATION

WARNING:

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating this tool. Failure to do so could result in dust, or loose particles being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.

PREPARE THE SURFACE

For best results, the surface should be clean and dry. Most high-gloss surfaces can be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution. For removal of stubborn dirt such as road tar, grease, and bug stains, you can use a mild ammonia solution such as that used in glass cleaners. Before using any cleaning product, check the label for recommended applications and follow the directions for use.

Never apply cleaner directly onto surface to be polished. Apply to a clean cloth then use the cloth to clean the surface.

Do not use any type of abrasive cleanser as it may damage or scratch the surface.

WARNING:

The drawstring must be tucked securely inside the bonnet before turning the buffer/polisher on. Failure to do so could result in the drawstring being caught be- tween the motor housing and orbiting foam pad, in- creasing the risk of serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Before connecting your buffer/polisher to the power source, always check to make sure the switch is not in ON position. Failure to do so could result in accidental starting of your buffer/polisher resulting in possible serious personal injury.

ATTACH THE APPLICATION BONNET

See Figure 2.

WARNING:

To avoid injury, always make sure the buffer/polisher is unplugged before attaching bonnets.

Your buffer/polisher comes with two bonnets, one for applying the polish to the surface and another for buffing the surface. Both are fitted with a drawstring. The application bonnet is the one made of 100% terry cloth.

To attach the application bonnet to the pad, loosen the drawstring so that the bonnet fits completely over the pad. Place the bonnet over the pad so that the outer edge can be drawn over the top of the pad. Then carefully tighten the drawstring around the pad and secure it with a bow knot. Tuck the drawstring inside the bonnet.

APPLY POLISH TO THE APPLICATION BONNET

Most polishes are either in paste or liquid form. Before using any polish read all directions on appropriate applications and proper use.

APPLICATION OF PASTE POLISH

See Figure 3.

Use a putty knife or other flat, blunt object to apply approximately one rounded teaspoon of paste onto the bonnet. Evenly spread the paste over the entire surface of the bonnet.

Do not apply paste directly to the surface being polished.
