RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
Safe operation of this power tool requires that you read and
understand this operator's manual and all labels affixed to
the tool. Safety is a combination of common sense, staying
alert, and knowing how your cut-off machine works.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
■ KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the operator's
manual carefully . Learn the cut-off machine's applications
and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards
related to this tool.
■ GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK BY
PREVENTING BODY CONTACT WITH GROUNDED
SURFACES. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges,
refrigerator enclosures.
■ KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in good working order.
■ REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Get
in the habit of checking to see that hex keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
■ KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered work areas
and work benches invite accidents. DO NOT leave tools
or pieces of work on the machine while it is in operation.
■ DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do
not use power tools near gasoline or other flammable
liquids, in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain.
Keep the work area well lit.
■ KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All visitors
should wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance
from work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or
extension cord while operating.
■ MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with padlocks and
master switches, or by removing starter keys.
■ DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
■ USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool or
attachment to do a job it was not designed for. Don't use
it for a purpose not intended.
■ USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. A wire gage size (A.W .G.) of at least 14
is recommended for an extension cord 25 feet or less in
length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller
the gage number, the heavier the cord.
■ INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODICALLY and
replace if damaged.
■ DRESS PROPERL Y. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves,
neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry . They can get
caught and draw you into moving parts. Rubber gloves
and nonslip footwear are recommended when working
outdoors. Also wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
■ ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE
SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-
resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
■ PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust mask if
the cutting operation is dusty.
■ PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing protection
during extended periods of operation.
■ SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when
practical. It's safer than using your hand and it frees both
hands to operate tool.
■ DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never yank cord to disconnect
it from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp
edges.
■ DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
■ MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and
clean for better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
■ DISCONNECT ALL TOOLS. When not in use, before
servicing, or when changing attachments, wheels, bits,
cutters, etc., all tools should be disconnected.
■ A VOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Be sure switch is off
when plugging in.
■ USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury.
■ NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if
the tool is tipped or if the wheel is unintentionally
contacted.
■ CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged must be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center to avoid risk of personal injury.
■ NEVER LEA VE TOOL RUNNING UNA TTENDED. TURN
THE POWER OFF. Do not leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
■ USE ONLY CORRECT WHEELS. Do not use wheels
with incorrect size holes. Never use wheel washers or
wheel screws that are defective or incorrect. The
maximum wheel capacity of your cut-off machine is 14 in.
(356 mm).
■ DO NOT REMOVE THE MACHINE'S WHEEL GUARDS.
Never operate the machine with any guard or cover
removed. Make sure all guards are operating properly
before each use.
■ KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. Keep
hands away from wheel. Do not reach underneath work
or around or under the wheel while the wheel is rotating.
Do not attempt to remove cut material while wheel is
moving.

■ NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE.
Normal sparking of the motor or sparking from cutting
metal could ignite fumes.
■ INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and if
damaged, have repaired at your nearest Ryobi Authorized
Service Center. Stay constantly aware of cord location
and keep it well away from the rotating wheel.
■ USE OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is
used outdoors, use only extension cords with approved
ground connection that are intended for use outdoors
and so marked.
■ DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT
ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by an
authorized service center.
■ KEEP TOOL DR Y, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM OIL AND
GREASE. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never
use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or
any solvents to clean tool.
■ ALW A YS SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES. To minimize
risk of tipping machine, always support long workpieces.
■ BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL
ADJUSTMENTS ARE SECURE.
■ ALWAYS USE THE VISE CLAMP to secure the
workpiece.
■ NEVER TOUCH WHEEL or other moving parts during
use.
■ NEVER START THE CUT-OFF MACHINE WHEN THE
WHEEL IS IN CONTACT WITH THE WORKPIECE.
■ NEVER cut more than one workpiece at a time. DO NOT
ST ACK more than one workpiece on the machine base
at a time.
■ NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION "FREEHAND".
Always secure the workpiece to be cut in the vise.
■ NEVER hand hold a workpiece. Workpiece will become
very hot while being cut.
■ NEVER reach behind, under, or within three inches of
the wheel and its cutting path with your hands and fingers for any reason.
■ NEVER reach to pick up a workpiece, a piece of scrap,
or anything else that is in or near the cutting path of the
wheel.
■ AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSI-
TIONS where a sudden slip could cause your hand to
move into the wheel. ALW AYS make sure you have good
balance.
■ NEVER stand or have any part of your body in line with
the path of the wheel.
■ ALWAYS release the power switch and allow the wheel
to stop rotating before raising it out of the workpiece.
■ DO NOT TURN THE MOTOR SWITCH ON AND OFF
RAPIDLY. This could cause the wheel to loosen and could
create a hazard. Should this ever occur, stand clear and
allow the wheel to come to a complete stop. Disconnect
your cut-off machine from the power supply and securely
retighten the wheel arbor bolt.
■ REPLACEMENT PARTS. All repairs, whether electrical
or mechanical, should be made at a Ryobi Authorized
Service Center.
W ARNING:
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.
■ NEVER leave the cut-off machine unattended while con-
nected to a power source.
■ IF ANY PART OF THIS CUT-OFF MACHINE IS MISSING or should break, bend, or fail in any way, or should
any electrical component fail to perform properly, shut
off the power switch, remove the machine plug from the
power source and have damaged, missing, or failed parts
replaced before resuming operation.
■ MAKE SURE THE CUT-OFF WHEEL IS SECURELY
MOUNTED as described in the operating instructions
before connecting the tool to a power supply. Do not
tighten wheel excessively, since this can cause cracks.
■ CHECK THE WHEEL FOR FISSURES AND CRACKS,
and test for normal operation prior to use.
■ ONL Y USE A CUT -OFF WHEEL RA TED FOR 3300 RPM
OR GREATER and manufactured in compliance with
ANSI B 7.1. Always store wheels in a dry place with little
temperature variation.
■ ALWAYS EASE THE ABRASIVE WHEEL AGAINST
THE WORK PIECE when starting to cut. A harsh impact
can break the wheel.
■ BEFORE CUTTING, press the trigger switch and allow
the cut-off wheel to reach full speed before cutting.

ELECTRICAL
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from the
power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry
the current that the tool will draw. An undersized extension
cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of
power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the chart
provided below to determine the minimum wire size required
in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by
Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.
Length of Extension Cord Wire Size (A.W.G.)
Up to 25 feet 14
26-50 feet 12
When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension cord
that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the
letters WA on the cord's jacket.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
CAUTION:
Keep the cord away from the cutting area and position
the cord so that it will not be caught on material, tools, or
other objects during cutting.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your Ryobi Abrasive Wheel Cut-off Machine is powered by
a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a
power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal
household current). Do not operate this tool on direct
current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of
power and the motor will overheat. If the machine does not
operate when plugged into an outlet, double check the power
supply.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an
electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have
the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper
connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation
having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow
stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet like
the one shown in
one shown.
