FEATURES
KNOW YOUR COMPACT FINISHING SANDER (Fig. 1)
Before using this product, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety requirements. However, do not let familiarity with the tool make you careless.
SWITCH (1)
This tool is equipped with a simple switch control located near the front of the motor housing.
QUICK CHANGE HOOK AND LOOP PAD (2)
The hook and loop design allows for quick change of sanding sheets and scrubbing pads. It also enables you to easily clean and reuse them.
TRI-FLEX PAD DESIGN
The top two-thirds of each sanding pad is a detachable triangle that can be rotated to extend pad life and promote even wear.
CIRCULAR SANDING ACTION
The oscillating action of your sander produces very quick, small circular motion of the sanding pad. The motion is ideal for producing a fine finished grain or, when using the scrubbing pad, removing light rust, paint and other build up from the work surface.
DUST COLLECTION BAG (3)
The dust bag attaches to the sander and keeps dust to a minimum.
PAPER PUNCH (4)
The paper punch template punches sandpaper (5) for proper fit and alignment.
ASSEMBLY

WARNING
The tool 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.
SANDING DISC SELECTION
Selecting the correct size, grit and type of sand paper is extremely important step in achieving a high quality sanded finish.
Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding. Natural abrasives, such as flint and garnet are too soft for economical use in power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and finer grit will produce the best finish in all sanding operations. The condition of the surface to be sanded will determine which grit will do the job. If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform. Medium grit may then be used to remove scratches left by the coarser grit and finer grit used for finishing of the surface. Always continue sanding with each grit until surface is uniform.

ATTACHING HOOK AND LOOP SANDING DISCS (Fig. 2)
Unplug the sander.
Align holes in hook and loop type sanding disc with holes in pad, then carefully press fuzzy side of sanding disc against pad as tightly as possible.
Note: Hook and loop type sanding discs can be reused for the life of the sanding abrasive. It is recommended that you keep the sanding disc backing pad clean to provide for best adhesion. Clean occasionally by brushing lightly with a small brush.

WARNING
The sander 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.
ATTACHING THE DUST BAG (Fig. 3)
The dust bag provides a dust collection system for the sander. Sanding dust is drawn up through the holes of the sanding disc and collected in the dust bag during sanding.
Follow these steps to attach the dust bag.
Unplug the sander.
Using a slight twisting motion as shown in figure 3, firmly slide dust bag assembly in blower exhaust on sander.
English
ASSEMBLY

WARNING
Exercise caution when using this tool. Careless actions, for even a fraction of a second, can result in serious personal injury.
OPERATION
APPLICATIONS
You may use the sander for the purposes listed below:
Sanding on wood surfaces.
- Removing rust from and sanding steel surfaces.
Polishing and scrubbing porcelain and metal.

CAUTION
Keep the cord away from the sanding pad and position the cord so that it will not be caught on lumber, tools, or other objects during sanding.

WARNING
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating this tool. Failure to do so could result in dust, shavings, or loose particles being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.
TURNING THE SANDER ON/OFF (Fig. 4)
Follow these steps to turn the sander ON/OFF:
Turn on the sander: Push the ON/OFF switch to the left.
Turn off the sander: Push the ON/OFF switch to the right.
OPERATING THE SANDER (Fig. 5)
Follow these steps to operate the sander.
- Secure the workpiece to prevent it from moving under the sander.

WARNING
Unsecured workpieces could be thrown towards the operator, causing injury.

WARNING
Keep your head away from the sander and the sanding area. Your hair could be drawn into the sander causing serious injury.
- Place the sander on the workpiece so that all of the sanding disc surface is in contact with the workpiece.

CAUTION
Avoid damaging the motor from overheating, be careful not to let your hand cover the air vents.
Turn on the sander and move it slowly over the workpiece.
- Hold the sander in front and away from you, keeping it clear of the workpiece. Start sander and let the motor build to its maximum speed, then gradually lower the sander onto the workpiece. Move the sander slowly across the workpiece using small circular motions.
- Do not force. The weight of the unit supplies adequate pressure, so let the sanding disc and sander do the work. Applying additional pressure only slows the motor, rapidly wears sanding disc and greatly reduces sander speed. Excessive pressure will overload the motor causing possible damage from motor overheating and can result in inferior work. Any finish or resin on wood may soften from the frictional heat.
- Do not allow sanding 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 tend to overheat the motor. If this occurs, turn sander off and wait until sanding disc comes to a complete stop, then remove it from workpiece. Remove your hand from vent area, remove sanding disc, then with your hand removed from vent area, turn sander on and run it free without a load to cool motor.
For detail sanding such as corners and crevices, use the tip of the sanding pad with small back and forth motions, as shown in Fig. 6.
EMPTYING THE DUST BAG (Fig. 7)
For more efficient operation, empty the dust bag when it is no more than half full. This will permit the air to flow through the bag better. Always empty and clean the dust bag thoroughly upon completion of a sanding operation and before placing the sander in storage.

WARNING
Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings such as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc. can self-ignite in your sander dust bag or elsewhere and cause fire. To reduce the risk of fire always empty your dust bag frequently (10-15 minutes) while sanding and never store or leave a sander without totally emptying its dust bag. Also follow the recommendations of the coatings manufacturers.
English
OPERATION
Follow these steps to empty the dust bag:
Unplug the sander.

WARNING
Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental starting causing possible serious injury.
Remove the dust bag from the sander.
Shake out the dust.
Reattach the dust bag to the sander.
For a more thorough cleaning of the dust bag, remove dust bag from frame, as shown in figure 7, and shake out dust. Replace dust bag over frame then install dust bag assembly on sander.
CHANGING THE SANDING SHEETS (Fig. 8)
The sander is packed with sanding sheets and pads designed for a variety of uses. To change sheets, simply pull the used sheet off the base and attach the desired sheet by pressing the sheet or pad onto the base of the sander.
PAPER PUNCH (Fig. 9)
A paper punch template has been supplied with your sander for aligning and punching holes in sandpaper. The punched holes must align with the holes in the sander cushion.
Install sandpaper on your sander.
Align sander cushion over the paper punch.
Push down on the sander.
ROTATING THE SANDING SHEETS (Fig. 10)
The majority of wear in a precision sanding application occurs at the tip of the sanding sheet. The unique Tri-Flex design of the sanding sheets and scrubbing pads allows you to detach and rotate the top two thirds of each and extend the life of the pad or sheet.
To rotate the top of the pad or sheet, simply remove the top two thirds along the perforation. Rotate the pad or sheet so that a clean corner is located at the tip of the base. Press the pad or sheet firmly onto the pad.
LIVE TOOL INDICATOR
This tool features a live tool indicator (6) which illuminates as soon as the tool is connected to the supply. This warns the user that the tool is connected and will operate when the switch is pressed.
MAINTENANCE

WARNING
The tool 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.

WARNING
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
GENERAL
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to 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, petroleumbased 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 recommended 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.
English
MAINTENANCE
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 SCRUBBING PADS
To ensure longer life and optimum performance, periodically clean all sanding residue and foreign materials from the scrubbing pads. This can be done simply by rinsing the pad with warm water until all foreign material has been washed away. After cleaning, gently squeeze the pad to remove excess water and allow pad to dry. Always store pads and sanding sheets flat in a cool dry location.
CLEANING THE SANDING SHEETS
The sanding sheets that came with your sander are made to be re-used. Therefore, it is important that they be cleaned periodically to remove sanding residue and foreign material that can accumulate over time.
To clean sanding sheets, rub the sheets with a hard rubber block. You can also use the clean rubber sole of a shoe.

WARNING
Always remove scrubbing or sanding pad from sander before cleaning. Failure to do so could cause serious personal injury.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Do not dispose of in general household waste. Instead, dispose of in an environmentally friendly way. Contact your local recycling centre ou council for advise. Ryobi takes the care of the environment very seriously.
