MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
When servicing use only identical RIDGID
replacement parts. Use of any other parts may
create a hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do
so could result in objects being thrown into your
eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

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, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, 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.
POWER SUPPLY CORD REPLACEMENT
If replacement of the power supply cord is necessary, this
must be done by an authorized service center in order to
avoid a safety hazard.

REPLACING THE DRIVE GEAR COVER
See Figure 4, page 12.
®
If over time you notice the noise of the tool getting louder
than usual, check the condition of the drive gear cover. If the
cap is excessively damaged so that the metal gear is clearly
visible, remove it and replace with the spare cap included.
NOTE: To reduce the noise level of the tool, do not operate
without the drive gear cover installed.

BRUSH REPLACEMENT

See Figure 5, page 12.
This product has externally accessible brushes that should
be periodically checked for wear.
 Unplug the power handle.
 Remove the brush cap with a flat blade screwdriver. The
brush assembly is spring loaded and will pop out when
you remove the brush cap.
 Remove the brush assembly (brush and spring). Check
for wear. Replace both brushes when either has less than
1/4 in. length of carbon remaining. Do not replace one
side without replacing the other.
 Reassemble using new brush assemblies. Make sure
curvature of brush matches curvature of motor and that
brush moves freely in brush tube.
 Replace brush cap and tighten securely. Do not over-
tighten.
