MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

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

WARNING:

The random orbit sander should never be con-
nected to a power supply when you are assem-
bling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, per-
forming maintenance, or when the tool is not in
use. Disconnecting the tool will prevent acciden-
tal 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
