RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
DOUBLE INSULATION
Your Ryobi power tool is double insulated. This means you
are separated from the tool's electrical system by two complete
sets of electrical insulation. This extra layer of insulation is
intended to protect the user from electrical shock due to a
break in the wiring insulation. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation.
WARNING: 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 RELATED TO AVOIDING ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THIS TOOL UNTIL YOU HAVE READ THOROUGHLY AND
UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY ALL INSTRUCTIONS, SAFETY RULES, ETC. CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL.
FAILURE TO COMPLY CAN RESULT IN ACCIDENTS INVOLVING FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY. SAVE OPERATOR'S MANUAL AND REVIEW FREQUENTLY FOR CONTINUING
SAFE OPERATION AND INSTRUCTING OTHERS WHO MAY USE THIS TOOL.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
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 RYOBI AUTHORIZED
SERVICE CENTER for repair. When servicing use only
identical Ryobi replacement parts.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing or jewelry to get caught in moving parts.
1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL - Read operator's
manual carefully. Learn its applications and
limitations as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
2. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK BY
PREVENTING BODY CONTACT WITH
GROUNDED SURFACES. For example: Pipes,
Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Also, wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair
and keep it from being drawn into air vents.
11. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant
lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.

order.
13. PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing
4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas
and benches invite accidents.
5. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't
use power tool in damp or wet locations or
expose to rain. Keep work area well lit.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY.
All visitors should wear safety glasses and be
kept a safe distance from work area. Do not let
visitors contact tool or extension cord.
7. STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools
should be stored in a dry, high or locked-up
place - out of the reach of children.
8. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
9. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or
attachment to do the job of a heavy duty tool.
Don't use tool for purpose not intended - for
example - Don't use a circular saw for cutting
tree limbs or logs.
protection during extended periods of operation.
14. DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by
cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle.
Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.
15. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work. It's safer than using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate the tool.
16. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Do not use on a ladder
or unstable support.
17. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp at all times, and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

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. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Don't carry
plugged-in tools with finger on switch. Be sure
switch is off when plugging in.
21. 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. An undersized 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. The smaller the gage number, the heavier
the cord.
22 OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When
tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords
suitable for use outdoors. Outdoor approved
cords are marked with the suffix W-A, for example - SJTW-A or SJOW-A.
23. NEVER USE THIS OR ANY POWER SANDER
FOR WET SANDING OR LIQUID POLISHING. Failure to comply can result in electrical
shock causing serious injury or worse.
24. KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM SANDING AREA.
25. NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMO-
SPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could
ignite fumes.
26. INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and
if damaged, have repaired by an authorized
service center. Stay constantly aware of cord
location.
27. INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODI-
CALLY and replace if damaged.
28. KEEP HANDLES DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE
FROM OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean
cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products or solvents
to clean your tool.
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
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.
31. DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT
TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches
replaced by an authorized service center.
32. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber
before sanding.
33. DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not
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.
36. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them
frequently and use them to instruct others who
may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool,
loan them these instructions also.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples 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.
