Not recommended for plasterboard
It is not recommended to use your Ryobi sander to sand down plasterboard.
Sanding plasterboard produces fine dust that can be hazardous and damaging to the sander.
Precautions if sanding plaster
Wear PPE
- Dust mask or respirator P2, FFP2, or N95 (plaster dust is harmful).
- Safety glasses and hearing protection.
Use dust extraction
Attach a vacuum adaptor to the dust port for effective dust collection.
It is recommended that this vacuum is at least L class and/or has a HEPA filter due to the nature of plaster dust.

Work in a well-ventilated area
Plaster dust can linger; good airflow helps minimise inhalation risk.
