A toolkit of a few key items will allow most standards repairs on all models of risograph.

The majority of these can be found in any hardware store, but a few will likely need to be special ordered.

Tools

Item Notes Product
JIS Phillips #2 screwdriver The screws in a risograph conform to the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS), not ANSI (used in the US), or ISO (used in Europe).[1] Using a proper JIS screwdriver will provide more torque to stuck screws, and make it less likely that screws become stripped. [1]
Metric hex keys These should be separate L-shaped wrenches, not part of a pocketknife-style connected. The sizes needed (in millimeters) are: 5, 4, 3, 2.5, 2, 1.5.
