MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical RIDGID
®
replace-
ment parts. Use of any other parts may create a
hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING:
This tool should never be connected to a power sup-
ply when you are assembling parts, making adjust-
ments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or when
the tool is not in use. Disconnecting the tool will pre-
vent accidental starting that could cause serious in-
jury.
General
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plas-
tics are susceptible to damage from various types of com-
mercial 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, petro-
leum-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, spack-
ling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear
and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips
and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, com-
mutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended us-
ing 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.
Bearing 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 lubrica-
tion is required.
