USE OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORDS.
Use only extension
cords with approved ground connection that are intended
for use outdoors and so marked.
NEVER
reach to pick up a workpiece, a piece of scrap,
or anything else that is in or near the grinding path of the
wheel.
AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSITIONS
where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move
into the wheel.
ALWAYS
make sure you have good balance.
NEVER
stand or have any part of your body in line with
the path of the wheel.
DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT ON AND
OFF.
Have defective switches replaced by an authorised
service centre.
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
grinder from the power supply and securely retighten
the wheel nut.
USE ONLY FLANGES
furnished with this bench grinder.
IF ANY PART OF THIS GRINDER 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 GRINDER IS SECURELY MOUNTED
as
described in the operating instructions before connecting
the tool to a power supply.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE WHEEL NUT.
Excessive
tightening can cause the wheel to crack during operation.
INSPECT GRINDING WHEEL
for visible defects. Check
the wheel for fissures and cracks, and test for normal
operation prior to use.
ADJUST
distance between wheel and work rest to
maintain 1.6mm. or less separation as the diameter
of the wheel decreases with use. The value of
separation used in the marking is to be the separation
recommended by the manufacturer but shall not be
more than 3.2mm.
ALWAYS EASE THE WORKPIECE AGAINST THE
ABRASIVE WHEEL
when starting to grind. A harsh
impact can break the wheel. Use light pressure
when starting to grind; too much pressure on a cold
wheel can cause the wheel to crack.
RISK OF INJURY DUE TO ACCIDENTAL STARTING.
Do not
use in an area where children may be present.
NEVER START THE GRINDER
when the wheel is in contact
with the workpiece.
SECURE WORK.
Always hold workpiece firmly against
the work rest.
DO NOT USE THE BENCH GRINDER
if the flange nut or
clamp nut is missing or if the spindle shaft is bent.
FREQUENTLY
clean grinding dust from beneath grinder.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY MEDICATION.
ALWAYS STAY ALERT.
Do not allow familiarity (gained
from frequent use of your grinder) to cause a careless
fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL.
Watch what you
are doing and use common sense. Do not operate tool
when you are tired. Do not rush.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them frequently
and use them to instruct other users, If you loan someone
this tool, loan them these instructions also.
RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard
or cause product damage.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals know to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
. lead from lead-based paints.
. crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
. arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated timber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
