GRINDER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.
Check that the speed marked on the grinding wheel is
equal to or greater than the rated speed of the tool.
2.
Ensure that the dimensions of the grinding wheel are
compatible with the tool and that the wheel fits the
spindle.
3.
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.
4.
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.
5.
Ensure that the wheel is fitted in accordance with this
manual.
6.
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.
7.
Do not use separate reducing bushings or adapters to
adapt large hole grinding wheels.
8.
Check that the work piece is properly supported.
9.
Use only grinding wheels approved by RYOBI.
10. Ensure that sparks resulting from use do not create a
hazard e.g. do not hit people, or ignite flammable
substances.
11. Always use protective safety glasses and ear protectors.
Use other personal protective equipment such as gloves,
apron and helmet when necessary.
12. 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.
13. The flange and clamp nut must have same outer
diameter.
14. Do not remove the soft paper in the center of the grinding
wheel. (If the paper has been previously removed, insert
some soft paper or rubber between grinding wheel and
flange.)
15. Use the tool only for approved applications. Never use
coolants or water or use the tool as a fixed tool.
16. Grip the tool securely with both hands while operating.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR CUTTING
1.
Check that the speed marked on the cut-off wheel is
equal to or greater than the rated speed of the tool.
2.
Cut-off wheels must be stored in a dry place. Do not put
any object on the wheels. Cut-off wheel must not be used
for any operation other than cutting.
Cut-off wheel must be stored and handled with care in
accordance with the manufacturer ’s instruction.
3.
Inspect the cut off wheel before use to ensure that it is
not chipped or cracked. Chips or cracks can cause the
wheel to shatter, resulting in possible serious injury.
When using new cut-off 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 wheel,
carefully listening to the resulting sounds.
C. Any places with chips or cracks will result in a different
sort of sound.
D. Do not use chipped or cracked wheel.
When mounting new cut-off wheel, a no-load rotation
test must be carried out for approximately 5 minutes
with the cut-off wheel facing in a safe direction, i.e.
away from people or objects.
4.
Ensure that the wheel is fitted in accordance with this
manual.
5.
Ensure that the cut-off 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
this is condition occurs, check the tool to determine the
cause.
6.
Do not use separate reducing bushings or adapters to
adapt large hole cut-off wheels.
7.
Use only cut-off wheels approved by RYOBI and only
use the normal cutting surface.
8.
Cut-off wheel continue to rotate after the tool is switched
off.
9.
Never touch the wheel or place it on the floor or other
surfaces while it is rotating.
10. The flange and clamp nut must have same outer
diameter.
11. Do not remove the soft paper in the center of the cut-off
wheel. (if the paper has been previously removed insert
some soft paper or rubber between cut-off wheel and
flange.)
