Ryobi BG828 Operator's Manual page 4

 ADJUST distance between wheel and work rest to main-
tain 1/16 in. 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 1/8 in.
 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.
