GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

BUFFER / POLISHER SAFETY WARNINGS

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-

tained 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.

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.

When servicing a power tool, use only identical

replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Main-

tenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized

parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may

create a risk of shock or injury.

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when

performing an operation where the cutting accessory

may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contact-

ing a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the

power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric

shock.

Keep hands away from work surface. Following this

rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

Do not use this buffer/polisher as a component of

other products. Following this rule will reduce the risk

of serious personal injury.

Inspect for rough surfaces, protrusions, and snags on

work surface before using the buffer/polisher. Follow-

ing this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual care-

fully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well

as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,

fire, or serious injury.

Always wear eye protection with side shields marked

to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Following this rule will reduce

the risk of serious personal injury.

Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the

operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk

of serious personal injury.

Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during

extended periods of operation. Following this rule will

reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have

repaired at your nearest authorized service center.

Constantly stay aware of cord location. Following this

rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.

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. Following this rule will

reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.

Make sure your extension cord is in good condi-

tion. When using an extension cord, be sure to use

one heavy enough to carry the current your product

will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is

recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less

in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recom-

mended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The

smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An

undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting

in loss of power and overheating.

Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before

using this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of

serious personal injury.

If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be

replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized

service center to avoid risk.

Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and

use them to instruct others who may use this product. If

you loan someone this product, loan them these instruc-

tions also.

  If your Ryobi Tools polisher isn't turning on, there could be a couple of reasons: * Check that the plug is properly seated in the outlet. If you're using an extension cord, verify the connection and wire gauge. * There may be a problem with the motor.
