GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, re 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.
WORK AREA SAFETY
■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.
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 and clothing 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
1

connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
■Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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 and accessories. 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.
■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.
■Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
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.
GENERAL WORKING STAND SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions
provided with the working stand and the power
tool to be mounted. 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.
■Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments or changing accessories.
Accidental starting of the power tool is a cause of some
accidents.
■Properly assemble the working stand before
mounting the tool. Proper assembly is important to
prevent risk of collapse.
■Securely fasten the power tool to the working stand
before use. Power tool shifting on the working stand
can cause loss of control.
■Place the working stand on a solid, flat and level
surface. When the working stand can shift or rock, the
power tool or workpiece cannot be steadily and safely
controlled.
■Do not overload the working stand or use as ladder
or scaffolding. Overloading or standing on the working
stand causes the stand to be “top-heavy” and likely to
tip over.
BELT SANDER SAFETY WARNINGS
■Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
because the sanding surface may contact its own
cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator
an electric shock.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
■Clamp workpiece with a clamping device.
Unclamped workpieces can cause severe injury and
damage. Do not hold the material you are sanding by
hand.
■Do not use sanding belt larger than needed.
■Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask.
■A suitable breathing respirator must be worn while
sanding lead paint, some woods and metal to avoid
breathing the harmful/toxic dust or air.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk
factors. The following hazards may arise and the operator
should pay special attention to avoid the following:
■Entrapment/contact with the moving belt
2

–Especially during inverted operation, additional
caution must be exercised to prevent operator’s
fingers and hands from coming into contact with the
abrasive belt or entrapped by the rollers. Use the
fence accessory whenever possible to help control
the workpiece and prevent entrapment with the
moving roller.
■Injury caused by dust
–Using the product will produce considerable amount
of dust and fine particles. Use the dust collection
device or connect a dust extraction vacuum when
operating the product. Wear dust masks containing
filters appropriate to the materials being worked
on. Ensure adequate workplace ventilation. Do not
eat, drink, or smoke in the work area. Only operate
on materials which are specified in the Intended
use section. Do not operate on materials (e.g.,
asbestos) which present a health hazard.
■Risk of explosion
–Accumulated fine dust may ignite and cause fire.
Keep the work area clean and free from dust. Dust
collection and vacuum extraction systems should
be regularly and thoroughly cleaned. When sanding
metal, hot sparks may be produced.
■Electrocution
–Keep power and extension cables clear from the
working range of the product and other conductive
surfaces.
■Noise and vibration
–Wear ear protection when operating the product.
Do not operate the product for extended periods of
time.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling,
numbness and blanching of the ngers, usually apparent
upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to
cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices
are all thought to contribute to the development of these
symptoms. These are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
■Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It
is reported that cold weather is a major factor contributing
to Raynaud’s Syndrome.
■After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood
circulation.
■Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure
per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about these
symptoms.

OPERATION
■Do not operate the product without a properly tracked
and fitted belt. An incorrectly tracked belt may come
off the product and cause personal injury or damage
to the sander.
■Secure the workpiece with a vice or clamp to a suitable
work bench. This helps to prevent the workpiece
becoming a thrown object.
■Use the supplied handles to hold and control the
product with both hands.
■Do not force the tool. Use the correct product for your
application. The correct product will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
■Do not apply excessive pressure to the product. Let
the weight of the product apply the correct pressure
and use your hands to guide the sander. Excessive
pressure will overload the product and damage the
motor. Applying more pressure will not remove more
material and will reduce sanding efficiency instead.
■Change the sanding belt often to maintain the product’s
ability to effectively remove material.
■Start the product using the trigger switch and allow the
belt to gain correct speed. Then lower the belt onto the
workpiece. Hold the product securely in both hands
because the movement of the belt will drive the product
forwards.
■Choose a belt of the correct size and appropriate
roughness for the task. Use belts with a lower grit
number for removing more material; higher grit number
for removing less material and for a finer finish. Replace
the belt if it becomes damaged, clogged with debris,
or is worn.
■It is normal to sand and move the product back and
forth along the grain of the material. Sanding across
the grain will work but it results to a scratched and
damaged surface.
WARNING
Dust from certain paints, coatings and materials may
cause irritation or allergic reactions to the respiratory
system. Dust from wood, such as oak, beech, MDF and
others are carcinogenic. Material containing asbestos
should only ever be worked or processed by qualied
specialist operators.
3

■Use the dust collector or connect the dust port to a
vacuum device to reduce risks associated with dust
particles.
■All persons within the work area or nearby should wear
dust masks which offer appropriate protection.
■Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields when operating products.
■Use the sanding frame and the fence attachments when
using the product in the inverted mode of operation.
Use of the attachments helps to control the position of
the workpiece and prevents accidental contact with the
moving belt and rollers.
■When used in the inverted mode, the product must be
adequately secured to a suitable work bench using the
accessory clamps provided. See graphic instructions
later in this manual.
WARNING
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged
use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods,
ensure you take regular breaks.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
The product should never be connected to a power
supply when assembling parts, making adjustments,
cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the product
is not in use. Disconnecting the product from the power
supply will prevent accidental starting that could cause
serious injury.
WARNING
When servicing, use only original manufacturer’s
replacement parts, accessories and attachments. Use of
any other parts may create a hazard or cause product
damage.
WARNING
Do not at any time let brake uids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean
cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
Electric tools used on berglass material, wallboard, spackling
compounds or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and
possible premature failure because the berglass chips
and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes,
commutators, etc. We do not recommend using the product
for extended periods of time on these types of materials.
After each use, remove the belt and dust collector if tted.
Clean the dust collector as shown in the illustrations in this
manual. Clean the product thoroughly with a brush, dry cloth
and vacuum cleaner.
WARNING
Do not use compressed air to blow dust from the product
to prevent serious eye injury.
WARNING
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer
or its service agent. Contact the authorised service
centre.
For greater safety and reliability, all repairs should be
performed by an authorised RYOBI service centre.
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufcient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit
under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further

VIBRATION LEVEL
WARNING
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test
given in EN 62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of
exposure. The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used
for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may
signicantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may signicantly reduce the exposure level over the total working
period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool
and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
