Ryobi P2005 User Manual

9 — English

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

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.

To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the 
battery pack from the tool when cleaning or performing 
any maintenance.

Before each use, inspect the entire product for damaged, 

missing, or loose parts such as screws, nuts, bolts, caps, etc.  

Tighten securely all fasteners and caps and do not operate 

this product until all missing or damaged parts are replaced.  

Please call 1-800-860-4050 or contact an authorized service 

center for assistance.
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.

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.

Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be 
repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts should 
be replaced at an Authorized Service Center.

Upon removal, cover the battery pack’s terminals with 

heavy-duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to destroy or 

disassemble battery pack or remove any of its compo-

nents. Lithium-ion and nickel-cadmium batteries must 

be recycled or disposed of properly. Also, never touch 

both terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as 

short circuit may result. Keep away from children. Failure 

to comply with these warnings could result in fire and/

or serious injury.
