RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)  
19. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND  
WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see  
that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed  
from tool before turning it on.  
20. AVOIDACCIDENTALSTARTING. Don'tcarry  
plugged-in tools with finger on switch. Be sure  
switch is off when plugging in.  
21. MAKESUREYOUREXTENSIONCORDISIN  
GOOD CONDITION. When using an extension  
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry  
the current your product will draw. An under-  
sized cord will cause a drop in line voltage  
resulting in loss of power and overheating. A  
wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recom-  
mended for an extension cord 100 feet or less  
in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not  
recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier  
gage.Thesmallerthegagenumber,theheavier  
the cord.

operate tool while under the influence of drugs,  
alcohol, or any medication.  
34. When servicing use only identical Ryobi  
replacement parts.  
35. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of  
electric shock, this equipment has a polarized  
plug (one blade is wider than the other). This  
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If  
the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse  
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified  
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not  
change the plug in any way.

cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids,  
gasoline,petroleum-basedproductsorsolvents  
to clean your tool.  
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and  
other masonry products, and  
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated  
lumber.  
Your risk from these exposures varies, depend-  
ing on how often you do this type of work. To re-  
duce 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.  
29. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing and  
use common sense. Do not operate tool when  
you are tired. Do not rush.  
30. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further  
use of the tool, a guard or other part that is

OPERATION  
WARNING: ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES OR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS WHEN  
OPERATING YOUR SANDER. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN FOREIGN OBJECTS BEING  
THROWN INTO YOUR EYES, RESULTING IN POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY. IF THE SANDING OPERATION  
IS DUSTY, ALSO WEAR A FACE OR DUST MASK.  
APPLICATIONS  
(Use only for the purposes listed below)  
1. Sanding on wood surfaces.  
2. Removing rust from and sanding steel surfaces.  
3. Sanding plastics.  
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  
conditionofthesurfacetobesandedwilldeterminewhichgrit  
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  
gritusedforfinishingofthesurface. Alwayscontinuesanding  
with each grit until surface is uniform.  
Fig. 4  
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.

under your sander.  
WARNING: UNSECURED WORK COULD BE  
THROWN TOWARDS THE OPERATOR CAUSING  
INJURY.  
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. See Figure 4. Move it slowly  
Fig. 5  
using forward and backward strokes.  
Flush sanding can be performed with your sander. See  
Figure 5. The front edge of your sander allows flush sanding  
in corners. Always remove sander from workpiece before  
turning your sander off.  
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.  
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.

OPERATION  
ORBITAL MOTION  
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.  
As shown in figure 6, the sandpaper moves in tiny circles  
at a very high speed, allowing the sander to move easily.  
DUSTLESS SANDING  
The dust bag located on the rear of your sander provides a  
dust collection system for your sander. Sanding dust is  
drawnupthroughtheholesofthecushionandcollectsinthe  
dust bag during sanding operation. For more efficient  
operation, empty dust bag when half full.

MAINTENANCE  
WARNING: WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL RYOBI REPLACEMENT PARTS. USE OF ANY  
OTHER PARTS MAY CREATE A HAZARD OR CAUSE PRODUCT DAMAGE.  
GENERAL  
When electric tools are used on fiberglass boats, sports cars,  
wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster, it has been  
found that they are subject to accelerated wear and possible  
premature failure, as the fiberglass chips and grindings are  
highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutator, etc.  
Consequently it is not recommended that this tool be used for  
extendedworkonanyfiberglassmaterial,wallboard,spackling  
compounds, or plaster. During any use on these materials, it  
is extremely important that the tool is cleaned frequently by  
blowing with an air jet.  
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most  
plasticsaresusceptibletovarioustypesofcommercialsolvents  
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.  
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.  
EXTENSION CORDS  
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep the loss to a minimum and to prevent tool overheating,  
use an extension cord that is heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw. Follow the recommended cord sizes on the  
chart provided to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord.  
Extension Cord Length  
0-100 Feet  
Wire Gauge Size (A.W.G.)  
16  
When working with your tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use and so marked. Outdoor use extension  
cords are marked with the letters "WA" on the cord's jacket.  
CAUTION: Keep extension cords away from the sanding area and position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber,  
tools, etc., when sanding.  
WARNING: CHECK EXTENSION CORDS BEFORE EACH USE. IF DAMAGED REPLACE IMMEDIATELY.  
NEVER USE TOOL WITH A DAMAGED CORD SINCE TOUCHING THE DAMAGED AREA COULD CAUSE  
ELECTRICAL SHOCK RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY.  
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.
