TABLE DES MATIÈRES / ÍNDICE DE CONTENIDO This product has many features for making its use more pleasant and enjoyable. Safety, performance, and dependability have been given top priority in the design of this product making it easy to maintain and operate.

WARNING Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains- operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or 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. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. ELECTRICAL SAFETY 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. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. NOTE: The term “residual current device (RCD)” may be replaced by the term “ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)” or “earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB).” PERSONAL SAFETY 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 personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising 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. 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 and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn into air vents. Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

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 cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool 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 binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s 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.4 - English

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator. Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual care- fully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury. Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Following this rule will re- duce the risk of serious personal injury. Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury. Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury. Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have repaired at your nearest authorized service center. Constantly stay aware of cord location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire. 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, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center. Following this rule will reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recom- mended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before using this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury. If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be re- placed only by the manufacturer or by an authorized service center to avoid risk. Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this product. If you loan someone this product, loan them these instruc- tions also. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. SERVICE 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. When servicing a power tool, use only identical replace- ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance sec- tion of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock or injury. CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65

This product and some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities may contain chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. Some example of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.5 - English SYMBOLS Some of the following symbols may be used on this product.

DOUBLE INSULATION Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protect- ing insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.

The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool’s internal wiring. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock. NOTE: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you return the tool to your nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original factory replace- ment parts when servicing. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, AC only (normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double- check the power supply. EXTENSION CORDS When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used. When working outdoors with a tool, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is designated with “W-A” or “W” on the cord’s jacket. Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation. **Ampere rating (on tool data plate) 0-2.0 2.1-3.4 3.5-5.0 5.1-7.0 7.1-12.0 12.1-16.0 Cord Length Wire Size (A.W.G.) 25' 16 16 16 16 14 14 50' 16 16 16 14 14 12 100' 16 16 14 12 10 — **Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.

Do not allow familiarity with products to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.

Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible serious injury. APPLICATIONS You may use this product for the purposes listed below: Sanding wood or wood product surfaces Sanding steel surfaces Removing rust from steel surfaces SANDPAPER SELECTION Selecting the correct size grit and type sandpaper is an 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. NOTE: DO NOT use sander without sandpaper. Doing so will damage the sanding pad.

INSTALLING STANDARD SANDPAPER

See Figure 2, page 13. Inspect sandpaper before installing. DO NOT use if torn, cracked, or defective. Unplug the sander.

If replacing sandpaper, remove old sandpaper. To remove paper, release the rear paper clamp by holding the tab and lifting up on the lever, disengaging the lever from the base, and allowing the lever to lower.

Pull the front paper clamp open and remove the sandpaper.

Holding the front paper clamp open, insert end of new 1/4 sheet sandpaper approximately 1/4 in. under the paper clamp. Release the paper clamp to secure the sandpaper.

Insert end of new 1/4 sheet sandpaper approximately 1/4 in. under the rear paper clamp.

Making sure to hold the sandpaper tight against the sanding pad, lift up on the tab to pull the lever back into place. Apply downward pressure to conform sandpaper to platen. Multiple sheets of sandpaper can be installed at one time for convenience. PAPER PUNCH See Figure 3, page 13. A paper punch template is supplied with the sander for aligning and punching holes in sandpaper. The punched holes must align with the holes in the sanding pad. An outline of the sander is printed onto the paper punch to help you correctly position the sandpaper before punching. Install sandpaper on the sander. Align sanding pad over the paper punch. Push down on sander. INSTALLING

PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVE

(PSA) SANDPAPER See Figure 4, page 13. Inspect sandpaper before installing. DO NOT use broken or defective sandpaper. Unplug the sander. If replacing sandpaper, remove old sandpaper by peeling it off the sanding pad. If removing standard sandpaper, see Installing Non-Adhesive Sandpaper. Carefully peel adhesive backing from new 1/4 sheet sandpaper. Position sandpaper, making sure front edge of sandpaper is aligned with front edge of the sanding pad, then carefully press sticky side of sandpaper on pad. NOTE: Sandpaper must be aligned with the front edge of the pad for proper functioning of the flush sanding feature.

REMOVING PSA SANDPAPER BEFORE

STORAGE Do not store the sander with the sandpaper installed. Heat generated from sanding causes the pressure sensitive adhesive to flow and form a tight bond between the backing pad and sandpaper. Removing the sandpaper soon after you have finished a sanding operation avoids letting the adhesive set up. If the sandpaper is left on the backing pad for an extended period of time after use, the adhesive will set up and cause the sandpaper to become difficult to remove. PSA sandpaper may also tear when removing. When this situation occurs, it becomes difficult to clean the backing pad for the next sheet of sandpaper.9 - English NOTE: If you forget to remove the sandpaper after a sanding operation, sand for a few minutes to soften the adhesive backing before attempting to remove sandpaper.

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.

REMOVING THE DUST BAG

See Figure 5, page 14. The dust bag provides a dust collection system for the sander. Sanding dust is drawn up through the holes of the sandpaper and collected in the dust bag during sanding. The dust bag can be removed for cleaning or to attach the sander to a vacuum. To remove the dust bag: Unplug the sander. Twist the dust bag counterclockwise until the arrow on the sander aligns with the "Unlock" icon on the collar of the dust bag. Remove the dust bag. To reattach the dust bag, push the collar onto the sander. Rotate the bag clockwise to align the arrow with the "Lock" icon to secure it onto the sander.

ATTACHING THE SANDER TO A VACUUM

See Figure 6, page 14. You can easily attach the dust collection system of the sander to a 1-1/4 in. or 2-1/4 in. diameter vacuum hose. Unplug the sander. Remove the dust bag from the sander. Attach vacuum hose to dust exhaust. NOTE: Vacuum hose fits inside dust exhaust. Connect sander and vacuum to power supply.

When sander is not connected to vacuum, always reinstall dust bag assembly back onto sander. Failure to do so could cause sanding dust or foreign objects to be thrown into your face or eyes which could result in possible serious injury. OPERATION ORBITAL MOTION See Figure 7, page 14. 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.

TURNING THE SANDER ON/OFF

See Figure 8, page 14. 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

See Figure 9, page 14. To operate the sander: Clamp or otherwise secure the workpiece to prevent it from moving under the sander.

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

Keep your head away from the sander and the sanding area. Your hair could be drawn into the sander, causing serious injury. CAUTION: Be careful not to let your hand cover the air vents. Hold the sander in front of and away from you, keeping it clear of the workpiece. Start the sander by pressing the switch button to “ON” position and letting the motor build to its maximum speed. Gradually lower the sander onto the work with a slight forward movement. Move it slowly using forward and backward strokes. 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. 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.10 - English OPERATION Flush sanding can be performed with the sander. The front edge of the sander allows flush sanding in corners. Always remove the sander from the workpiece before turning the sander off. Extended periods of sanding may tend to overheat the mo- tor. If this occurs, turn sander off and wait until it comes to a complete stop, then remove it from workpiece. Remove your hand from vent area, remove sandpaper, then with your hand removed from vent area, turn sander on and run it free without a load to cool motor.

EMPTYING THE DUST BAG

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.

Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings such as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc. can self-ignite in the sander dust bag or elsewhere and cause fire. To reduce the risk of fire always empty the 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. To empty the dust bag: Unplug the sander. Remove the dust bag from the sander. Shake out the dust. Reattach the dust bag to the sander.11 - English NOTE: FIGURES (ILLUSTRATIONS) START ON PAGE 13 AFTER FRENCH AND SPANISH LANGUAGE SECTIONS. MAINTENANCE

When servicing use only identical RIDGID® replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.

Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.

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. 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.

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 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. LUBRICATION All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the tool under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required. BRUSH REPLACEMENT See Figure 10, page 14. Unplug the sander.

Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental starting causing possible serious injury. Remove screws (3) from top cover of sander. Remove top cover. Remove clamp screws (2). Remove brush tube clamps (2). Disconnect red and black lead terminals from brush tubes. Remove brush assemblies (2). Check for wear. Replace both brush assemblies when either has less than 1/4 in. length of carbon remaining. Do not replace one side without replacing the other. Reassemble using new brush assemblies. Make sure curvature of brush matches curvature of motor and that brush moves freely in brush tube. Reassemble by reversing the steps listed above. Tighten all screws securely. Do not over tighten.12 - English WARRANTY Proof of purchase must be presented when requesting war- ranty service. Limited to RIDGID ® hand held and stationary power tools purchased 2/1/04 and after.
