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. APPLICATIONS Use only for the purposes listed below:

WARNING Do not throw sanding dust on an open fire because materials in fine particle form may be explosive. Sanding on wood surfaces. Removing rust from and sanding steel surfaces. Sanding plastics. 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. SYMBOL ON/OFF Switch Quick Change Hook & Loop Pad Sandpaper Variable Speed Control Dust bag frame Dust bag Livetool indicator FEATURES The following show the symbols used for the tool. Be sure that you understand their meaning before use. 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. Your sander also has a built-in dust collection that collects dust through punched holes in the sandpaper and cushion (Fig. 2). ....................................................................Pad size Before attempting to use your sander, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety requirements. .......................................................Orbital Diameter SWITCH (1) This tool is equipped with a simple switch control. To turn the sander "ON", slide the switch to the left. .....................................................Double Insulation Slide the switch to the right to turn the sander "OFF". ..........................................Read instruction manual .................................Recycle raw materials instead of disposing as waste. The machine, accessories and packaging should be sorted for environmental-friendly recycling. The electronic speed control allows the operator to adjust speed to meet varity sanding material from tough heavy grained timber to delicate veneer.

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

INSTALLING ADHESIVE SANDPAPER

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

ORBITAL MOTION (Fig. 2) 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. Unplug your sander. WARNING Failure to unplug your sander could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury.

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. 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 CAUTION Be careful not to let your hand completely cover air vents. 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. SANDING (Fig. 1) WARNING Unsecured work could be thrown towards the operator causing injury. TO ATTACH THE DUST BAG ASSEMBLY (Fig. 3) Follow these directions to attach the dust bag assembly.

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. Unplug the sander. WARNING Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental starting causing possible serious injury.

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

English 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. OPERATION TO EMPTY THE DUST BAG ASSEMBLY (Fig. 4) 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. 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. Unplug your sander. WARNING Failure to unplug your sander could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury.

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. 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. 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.

LIVE TOOL INDICATOR

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.

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 untill 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. 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.

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. WARNING When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage. To clean sanding sheets, rub the sheets with a hard rubber block. You can also use the clean rubber sole of a shoe. 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 Always remove scrubbing or sanding pad from sander before cleaning. Failure to do so could cause serious personal injury.

English ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 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.

GARANTIE - CONDITIONS

WARNING The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.

An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
