    Tool Weight WARNING: The operation of any grinder can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields.

  • Page 3: Rules For Safe Operation

  • Page 5: Safety And International Symbols

    RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols, and the explanations with them, deserve your careful attention and understanding. The safety warnings do not by themselves eliminate any danger. The instructions or warnings they give are not substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.

  • Page 6: Extension Cords

    COVER OF GROUNDED ELECTRICAL ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Your Ryobi Bench Grinder is powered by a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat.

  • Page 7: Unpacking, Loose Parts List And Tools Needed

    Carefully remove all parts from the shipping carton. Lift the bench grinder from the carton and place it on a level work surface. Do not discard the packing materials until you have care- fully inspected the machine, identified all loose parts, and satisfactorily operated your bench grinder.

  • Page 8: Features

    Care- fully read this operator’s manual before using your grinder. ON/OFF SWITCH Your Bench Grinder features a front access On/Off switch for convenience and safety. MOTOR Powered by a precision-built electric induction motor, your bench grinder has sufficient power to handle tough grinding jobs.

  • Page 9: Spark Deflector

    Adjust the spark deflectors to within 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) of the grinding wheel. Tighten screws securely. WARNING: Always spin the wheel by hand before turning on the grinder to make sure the spark deflector doesn’t hit the grinding wheel. WARNING: Always make sure your bench grinder is securely mounted to a workbench or an approved workstand.

  • Page 10: Assembly

    Use the illustration as a guide to determine which shield rod is mounted on the left and which shield rod is mounted on the right of the grinder. Once shield rods are firmly in place, slide the shield bracket onto the shield rod. Tighten the carriage bolt leaving it loose enough to allow the safety shield to be raised and lowered easily.

  • Page 11: Basic Operation

    OPERATION This technique requires considerable practice, so take your time and make a few “dry runs” first with the grinder off. Be sure to maintain the original cutting edge angle as this is important to the efficiency of your bits. One work rest has a V-groove angled to fit most drill bits.

  • Page 12: Wheel Replacement

    If you must replace a grinding wheel, be sure to obtain one with a safe rated speed greater than the “no load speed” RPM marked on the data plate of the grinder and which is marked to comply with ANSI B7.1.

  • Page 13: Maintenance

    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 dresser 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.

    OPERATOR'S MANUAL Bench Grinder Model BGH826 EXTENSION CORD CAUTION When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power.
