When using your Ryobi rotary tool’s battery charger, follow these safety tips to prevent accidents and damage:
- Avoid using the battery charger in explosive atmospheres, such as areas with flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Inserting or removing the battery pack can ignite dust or fumes.
- Never force the battery pack into the charger. If it doesn’t fit, it may not be compatible.
- Don’t modify the battery pack to fit a non-compatible charger, as this can cause the pack to rupture and result in serious injury.
- Keep the charger away from water or other liquids. Never splash or immerse it.
- Use the charger only in locations where the temperature does not exceed 105 degrees Fahrenheit.
To keep your Ryobi rotary tool in peak condition, you may need to replace worn or damaged parts. Here are some commonly replaced components:
- Application tools. Replace worn or damaged application tools needed for specific projects. Specialty tools may also be required for unique tasks.
- Carbon motor brushes. These brushes transfer electric current to the motor's spinning armature. Replace the brushes when they wear down to ¼-inch in length to ensure optimal performance.
- Trigger switch. The trigger switch controls the motor's start and stop functions. Replace it if it fails to send current to the motor when pulled.
- Drive motor. The drive motor spins the chuck and tool shaft. Replace the motor if it doesn’t run when receiving electrical current.
