to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while
the wheel is in motion, otherwise kickback may
occur. Investigate and take corrective action to
eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
d. Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and
carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind,
walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted
in the workpiece.
e. Support panels or any oversized workpiece
to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and
kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under
their own weight. Supports must be placed under
the workpiece near the line of cut and near the
edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
f.
Use extra caution when making a "pocket
cut" into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes,
electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
ANGLE GRINDER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
a. Check that the speed marked on the grinding
wheel is equal to or greater than the rated speed
of the tool.
b. Ensure that the dimensions of the grinding wheel
are compatible with the tool and that the wheel fi ts
the spindle.
c. Grinding wheels must be stored in a dry place.
d. Do not store objects on top of the grinding wheels.
e. Grinding wheels must not be used for any
operation other than grinding.
f.
Grinding wheels must be stored and handled
with care in accordance with the manufacturer's
instruction.
g. 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.
h. Ensure that the wheel is fi tted in accordance with
this manual.
i.
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.
j.
Do not use separate reducing bushings or adapters
to adapt large hole grinding wheels.
k. Check that the workpiece is properly supported.
l.
Use only grinding wheels approved by RYOBI.
m. Ensure that sparks resulting from use do not
create a hazard, e.g., do not hit people, or ignite
fl ammable substances.
n. Always use protective safety glasses and ear
protectors.
o. Use other personal protective equipment such as
gloves, apron and helmet when necessary.
p. Never place the tool on the fl oor 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 fl oor or other surfaces
while it is rotating.
q. The fl ange and clamp nut must have the same
outer diameter.
r.
Use the tool only for approved applications. Never
use coolants or water or use the tool as a fi xed
tool.
s. Grip the tool securely with both hands while
operating.
