Remove the battery, clean the drill, and store it in a dry place. Avoid storing it in extreme temperatures.
The Ryobi P215 is not recommended for heavy masonry work. Use a drill with a hammer function for such applications.
Overheating can occur due to prolonged use. Allow the drill to cool down, and ensure vents are not blocked. Avoid overloading the drill with too much pressure.
Avoid letting the battery fully discharge before recharging. Store in a cool, dry place and avoid overcharging.
