INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING
■ Make sure that the tool is only connected to the
voltage marked on the name plate.
■ Never use the tool if its cover or any bolts are
missing. If the cover or bolts have been removed,
replace them prior to use. Maintain all parts in good
working order.
■ Always secure tools when working in elevated positions.
■ Never touch the blade, drill bit, grinding wheel or
other moving parts during use.
■ Never start a tool when its rotating component is in
contact with the work piece.
■ Never lay a tool down before its moving parts have
come to a complete stop.
■ ACCESSORIES: The use of accessories or
attachments other than those recommended in this
manual might present a hazard.
■ REPLACEMENT PARTS: When servicing use only
identical replacement parts.
ANGLE GRINDER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
■ Check that the speed marked on the grinding wheel is
equal to or greater than the rated speed of the tool.
■ Ensure that the dimensions of the grinding wheel are
compatible with the tool and that the wheel fits the
spindle.
■ Grinding wheels must be stored in a dry place.
Do not put any object on the wheels. Grinding wheels
must not be used for any operation other than grinding.
Grinding wheels must be stored and handled with care
in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction.
■ Inspect the grinding wheel before use to ensure that it is
not chipped or cracked. Chips or cracks can cause the
wheels to shatter, resulting in possible serious injury.
When using new grinding wheels, a sound inspection
must be carried out before they are mounted on the tool:
A. Use a wooden hammer for the inspection.
B. Using the hammer, lightly tap all around the wheels,
carefully listening to the resulting sounds.
C. Any places with chips or cracks will result in a
different sort of sound. Do not use chipped or
cracked wheels.
When mounting new grinding wheels, a no-load
rotation test must be carried out for approximately
5 minutes with the grinding wheel facing in a safe
direction, i.e. away from people or objects.
■ Ensure that the wheel is fitted in accordance with this
manual.
■ Ensure that the grinding wheel is correctly mounted and
tightened before use and run the tool at no-load speed
for 30 seconds in a safe position. Stop immediately if
there is considerable vibration or if other defects are
detected. If this condition occurs, check the tool to
determine the cause.
■ Do not use separate reducing bushings or adapters to
adapt large hole grinding wheels.
■ Check that the work piece is properly supported.
■ Use only grinding wheels approved by RYOBI.
■ Ensure that sparks resulting from use do not create a
hazard e.g. do not hit people, or ignite flammable
substances.
■ Always use protective safety glasses and ear
protectors. Use other personal protective equipment
such as gloves, apron and helmet when necessary.
■ Never place the tool on the floor or other surfaces
while it is running. Grinding wheels continue to rotate
after the tool is switched off. Never touch the wheel or
place it on the floor or other surfaces while it is rotating.
■ The flange and clamp nut must have the same outer
diameter.
■ Use the tool only for approved applications. Never use
coolants or water or use the tool as a fixed tool.
■ Grip the tool securely with both hands while operating.
