GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool'' in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.

SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL. Indicates caution or warning. May be used in conjunction with other symbols or pictures.

WARNING: Failure to obey a safety warning can

result in serious injury to yourself or to others. Always follow the safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.

WARNING: Do not attempt to operate this tool

until you have read thoroughly and understood completely safety rules, etc. contained in this manual. Failure to comply can result in accidents involving fire, electric shock or serious personal injury. Save owners manual and review frequently for continuing safe operation and instructing others who may use this tool.

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. PERSONAL SAFETY The operation of any tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields.

Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. ERO-2412VN_20 lgs

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction andcollection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, free running of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service facility. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR

SANDERS Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can not be controlled with the switch is dangerous andmust be repaired. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bindling of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask when sanding, especially sanding over-head. The machine is not suitable for wet sanding. Do not use sanding paper larger than needed. Extra paper extending beyond the sanding pad can also cause serious lacerations. The dust bag shall be equipped with the tool. And it shall be emptied frequently. To connect dust bag, insert the adapter of dust bag to the dust-collection opening on the rear end of the sander. And screw the adapter clockwise until the connection is credible. Disconnect the bag in the reverse order. WARNING Do not throw sanding dust on an open fire because materials in fine particle form may be explosive. WARNING A suitable breathing respirator must be worn while sanding lead paint, some woods and metal to avoid breathing the harmful/toxic dust or air. No load speed Orbital diameter Pad size Weight Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Use only for the purposes listed below:

Sanding on wood surfaces. ERO-2412VN_20 lgs

English Disconnecting sander will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious personal injury. APPLICATIONS

Removing rust from and sanding steel surfaces. Sanding plastics.

INSTALLING ADHESIVE SANDPAPER

Inspect sandpaper before installing. DO NOT use broken or defective sandpaper. DESCRIPTION

ON/OFF Switch Quick Change Hook & Loop Pad Sandpaper Variable Speed Control Dust bag frame Dust bag Livetool indicator Unplug your sander. WARNING Failure to unplug your sander could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury.

FEATURES Your sander is suitable for sanding with coarse, medium, and fine grit sandpaper. It will produce a fine scratch free finish when used to sand with the grain on wood surfaces. Your sander has a comfortable palm grip handle that provides maximum one-hand comfort, and reduces operator fatigue during continuous sanding operations. If replacing sandpaper, remove old sandpaper by peeling it off. Holes in sand paper must line up with holes in backing pad in order for the dust collection feature of your sander to function properly. Note: DO NOT use sander without sandpaper. Doing so will damage the cushion

PREPARING FOR OPERATION

CAUTION Be careful not to let your hand completely cover air vents. Your sander also has a built-in dust collection that collects dust through punched holes in the sandpaper and cushion (Fig. 2). SANDING (Fig. 1) Before attempting to use your sander, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety requirements. WARNING Unsecured work could be thrown towards the operator causing injury. SWITCH (1) This tool is equipped with a simple switch control. To turn the sander "ON", slide the switch to the left. Hold your sander in front and away from you, keeping it clear of the workpiece. Start your sander by pressing the switch button to "ON" position and letting the motor build to its maximum speed. Gradually lower your sander on the work with a slight forward movement. Move it slowly using forward and backward strokes. Slide the switch to the right to turn the sander "OFF". VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL (4) The electronic speed control allows the operator to adjust speed to meet varity sanding material from tough heavy grained timber to delicate veneer. DO NOT FORCE. The weight of the unit supplies adequate pressure, so let the sandpaper and sander do the work. Applying additional pressure only slows the motor, rapidly wears sandpaper and greatly reduces sander speed. Excessive pressure will overload the motor causing possible damage from motor overheating and can result in inferior work. WARNING Do not allow familiarity with your sander to make you careless. Remember, a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury. 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. OPERATION WARNING Your sander should never be connected to power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, assembling or replacing sandpaper, cleaning, or when not in use.

English TO EMPTY THE DUST BAG ASSEMBLY (Fig. 4) OPERATION 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 Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry when operating sander. They could get caught in moving parts causing serious injury. Keep head away from sander and sanding area. Hair could be drawn into sander causing serious injury. WARNING Failure to unplug your sander could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury. Orbital motion is ideal for fast cutting action when removing old finishes, smoothing rough wood, cutting stock down to required dimensions, or for finishing surfaces to be painted. The sandpaper moves in tiny circles at a very high speed, allowing the sander to move easily.

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 while sanding and never store or leave a sander without totally emptying its dust bag. Also follow the recommendations of the coatings manufacturers.

This tool features a Livetool indicator (7) 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. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION The dust bag assembly 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. Do not dispose of in general household waste. Instead, dispose of in an environmentally friendly way. Contact your local recycling cetre ou council for advise. Ryobi takes the care of the envrionment very seriously. TO ATTACH THE DUST BAG ASSEMBLY (Fig. 3) Follow these directions to attach the dust bag assembly. Unplug the sander. WARNING Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental starting causing possible serious injury.

Remove the dust bag assembly from the sander. Remove the dust bag from the frame. Shake out the dust. Replace the dust bag on the frame. Replace the dust bag assembly on the sander.

LIVE TOOL INDICATOR

Unplug your sander. Slide the dust bag assembly onto the blower exhaust on the sander using a slight twisting motion.
