FAQs

What type of sandpaper should I use?

Use standard triangular sandpaper compatible with palm sanders. The grit depends on the task; finer grits for finishing and coarser grits for material removal.

How do I change the sandpaper?

Most models use a hook-and-loop system. Simply detach the old sandpaper and attach a new one.

Can I use this sander for drywall sanding?

While the sander can be used for light drywall sanding, it's generally better suited for wood and other materials. Excessive drywall sanding may wear down the sanding pad faster.

How do I clean the sander?

Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the exterior. Avoid getting moisture into the motor or battery compartment.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement parts are available through Ryobi retailers or online through authorized distributors.

Does this sander come with a dust collection system?

The sander does not come with a built-in dust collection system, but it can be used with compatible dust collection accessories.

Troubleshooting

Sander not turning on.

Ensure the battery is properly inserted and charged. Check the power switch.

Poor sanding performance.

Check the sandpaper for wear and tear; replace as needed. Ensure you are applying appropriate pressure.

Sander vibrates excessively.

Check the sanding pad and paper for damage or debris. Ensure the sandpaper is properly attached and centered.
