RYOBI ROS310 Random Orbital Sander

ROS310

ROS310 Random Orbital Sander

Important!
It is essential that you read the instructions in this manual before assembling, maintaining and operating the product.

Subject to technical modification
Safety, performance, and dependability have been given top priority in the design of your random orbital sander.

INTENDED USE

The random orbital sander is intended for sanding and finishing metal, wood, plastic, or similar materials using the abrasive pads provided. The random orbital sander is intended to be used by adult operators who have read the instruction manual and understand the risks and hazards. The random orbital sander should only be used in well ventilated areas. The random orbital sander is designed for dry sanding only.
The random orbital sander is intended for consumer use and should only be used as described above and not for any other purpose.

WARNING
Dust from certain paints, coatings, and other materials may cause irritation or allergic reactions. Dust from wood, such as oak, beech, MDF, and similar materials can be carcinogenic. Only qualified specialists should be allowed to use the product on materials containing asbestos.
WARNING
Do not use compressed air to remove dust from the product. Dirt and grit blown away by compressed air can cause serious eye injury.
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. 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.

SANDER SAFETY WARNINGS

Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask when sanding, especially when sanding overhead.
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:

injury caused by dust
NOTE: 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.
injury caused by noise and vibration
NOTE: Wear ear protection during the sanding operation. Do not operate the product for long periods of time. See “Risk reduction”.

RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling,
numbness and blanching of the fingers, 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. There 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.

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 will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious injury.
WARNING
When servicing, use only original Ryobi replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.

GENERAL
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.

WARNING
Do not, at any time, let brake fl uids, gasoline, petroleum- based products, penetrating oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
Electrical tools used on fi berglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure, because the fi berglass
chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. We do not recommend using the product for extended work on these types of materials.
WARNING
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorised service centre to avoid risk. Contact authorised service centre.
For greater safety and reliability, all repairs should be performed by an Authorised Ryobi Service Centre.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in the product are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Recycle raw materials instead of disposing of as waste. The machine, accessories, and packaging should be sorted for environmentfriendly recycling.

WARNING

The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 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 signiﬁcantly 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 signiﬁcantly 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.
