ENGLISH

WARNING:

When servicing use only identical Ryobi replace-
ment parts. Use of any other parts may create a 
hazard or causeproduct damage.

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, 
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  
acelerated wear and possible premature failure, as the 
fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to
bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we
do not recommended that this tool be used for extended
work on these types of materials. If, however, you do 
work with any of these materials, it is extremely impor-
tant that you clean the tool frequently by blowing it with 
an air jet.
 

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.

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.

CUTTERS

Get faster and more accurate cutting results by keeping
cutters clean and sharp. Remove all accumulated pitch
and gum from cutters after each use.
When sharpening cutters, sharpen only the inside of the
cutting edge. Never grind the outside diameter. Be sure
when sharpening the end of a cutter to grind the 
clearance angle the same as originally ground.

MAINTENANCE

COLLET

Dust and chips may collect on the collet from time to 
time, making it necessary to clean the collet. To do so,
remove the collet assembly and wipe it with a clean dry
rag. Clean the taper in the shaft in the same manner.
Never immerse the collet or end of the shaft in a solvent
or in water. Before replacing the collet assembly, put a
drop of motor oil on the inside of the nut, on the threads 
of the shaft, and on the taper in the shaft. Replace the 
collet assembly onto the shaft by hand only. Never 
tighten the collet nut without a bit in the collet. This 
action could permanently damage the collet.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

vironmental-friendly recycling.
