Its brushless motor provides extended runtime, longer motor life, and increased power. The aggressive 3.6° oscillation angle allows for up to 30% faster cutting speeds, improving efficiency. This tool is ideal for working with drywall, metal, wood, plastic, and composite materials, and can also be used for detailed sanding tasks.

Key features include an adjustable speed dial with up to 20,000 Oscillations per Minute (OPM), a tool-free accessory release for quick and easy blade changes, and a built-in LED light to illuminate dark work areas. The slide-on power switch enhances user comfort during extended use by eliminating the need to continuously hold a trigger. This multi-tool is compatible with a wide range of multi-tool accessories from various brands and is part of the extensive RYOBI 18V ONE+ System.

Setup

1. Battery Installation

This multi-tool is sold as a 'tool only' unit. A RYOBI 18V ONE+ battery and charger are required and sold separately. To install the battery, align the battery pack with the tool's battery port and slide it in until it clicks securely into place. Ensure the battery is fully charged before first use.

2. Accessory Attachment

The multi-tool features a tool-free accessory release system for quick and easy attachment and removal of blades and sanding pads.

1. To attach an accessory, lift the accessory release lever located on the tool head.
2. Align the accessory (e.g., wood cutting blade, segment saw blade, or sanding pad) with the accessory mount on the tool.
3. Press the accessory firmly onto the mount, ensuring it is seated correctly.
4. Push the accessory release lever back down until it locks into place, securing the accessory.
5. To remove an accessory, simply lift the lever and pull the accessory off the mount.

Operating Instructions

1. Powering On/Off

The multi-tool features a convenient slide-on power switch. To turn the tool ON, slide the switch forward. To turn the tool OFF, slide the switch backward. This design allows for continuous operation without needing to hold a trigger, reducing hand fatigue.

2. Adjusting Speed

An adjustable speed dial is located on the tool body, allowing you to select the optimal oscillation speed for your specific task and material. Rotate the dial to increase or decrease the OPM (Oscillations Per Minute) as needed. Lower speeds are generally suitable for softer materials or more precise work, while higher speeds are effective for faster material removal.

3. Using the LED Light

The integrated LED light automatically illuminates when the tool is in operation, providing improved visibility in dimly lit work areas. This feature is particularly useful when working in confined spaces or under cabinets.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your RYOBI Multi-Tool.

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the tool with a clean, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Accessory Care: Inspect blades and sanding pads before and after each use. Replace dull or damaged accessories to ensure efficient and safe operation. Store accessories in a dry place to prevent rust.
• Brushless Motor: The brushless motor design requires less maintenance compared to brushed motors, offering longer motor life and consistent performance. No carbon brush replacement is needed.
• Storage: Store the tool in a dry, secure location, out of reach of children and away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Remove the battery pack when storing the tool for extended periods.
