MAINTENANCE

GENERAL

Keep the bench grinder clean. Remove dust from working
parts and beneath the grinder frequently.
Make sure the bench grinder operates properly. Check
screws, nuts, and bolts for tightness.

EXTENSION CORDS

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of
power. To keep the loss to a minimum and to prevent tool
overheating, use an extension cord that is heavy enough
to carry the current the tool will draw.
A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended
for an extension cord 8 metres or less in length. When
working outdoors, use an extension cord that is suitable
for outdoor use. The cord's jacket will be marked WA.

WHEEL DRESSING TOOL

Dressing a wheel is done to renew sharpness or to true
up the face of the wheel.
Set the work rest of the bench grinder at a slight angle and
brace the wheel dressing tool against it. Do not make
contact with the grinding wheel until after you have turned
on the motor and the wheel is rotating at full speed. Press
the dressing tool slightly against the rotating wheel until
you get a bite, then move slowly from side to side across
the wheel. A small bite and many passes is better than a
big bite and one pass. Work cautiously, hold the dresser
with force on the work rest. Do not use excessive pressure
against the grinding wheel. Proceed slowly until you master
the technique.

WARNING:

When servicing, use only identical Ryobi replacement
parts. Use of any other part may create a hazard of cause
product damage.

WARNING:

Check extension cords before each use. If damaged,
replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged
cord since touching the damaged area could cause
electrical shock resulting in serious injury.

WORKLIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT

When the light bulb is worn out and will no longer work,
unfasten the screws which fix the lamp cover, then gently
remove the bulb from the holder by pushing in and turning
anticlockwise. Contact your dealer for replacement part.
To replace, gently push the light bulb into the insert and
turn clockwise, then fix the lamp cover in the revise order.

WARNING:

Do not use excess force as this could lead to the
globe breaking and serious injury.
