Maintenance; General Maintenance - Ryobi RE180PL1 Manual Del Operador

WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
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.

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.
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling
compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and
possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and
grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commuta-
tors, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended using 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.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrica-
tion is required.
CLEANING THE BITS
Get faster more accurate cutting results by keeping
bits clean and sharp. Remove all accumulated pitch and
gum from bits after each use. When sharpening bits, sharpen
only the inside of the cutting edge. Never grind the outside
diameter. When sharpening the end of a bit, be sure to grind
the clearance angle the same as originally ground.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE COLLET
From time to time, it becomes necessary to clean the collet
and collet nut. To do so, simply remove collet nut from collet
and clean the dust and chips that have collected. Then return
collet nut to its original position.
BRUSH ASSEMBLIES
See Figure 22.
The router has externally accessible brush assemblies that
should periodically be checked for wear.
To replace brushes:
 Unplug the router.
 Remove brush cap with a screwdriver. Brush assembly
is spring loaded and will pop out when you remove
brush cap.
 Remove brush assembly (brush and spring).
 Check for wear. If worn, always replace in pairs. 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.
 Make sure brush cap is oriented correctly (straight) and
replace.
 Tighten brush cap securely. Do not over torque.
