Ryobi HBGL650 Owner's Operation Manual page 6

KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM
OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth
when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, or any solvents to
clean tool.
INSPECT TOOL CORDS AND EXTENSION
CORDS PERIODICALLY and, if damaged,
have repaired by a qualified service
technician. Stay constantly aware of cord
location and keep it well away from the
rotating wheel.
NEVER USE IN
ATMOSPHERE. Normal sparking of the
motor or sparking from grinding metal could
ignite fumes.
USE OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORDS.
Use only extension cords with approved
ground connection that are intended for use
outdoors and so marked.
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard
or cause product damage.
USE ONLY FLANGES furnished with this
bench grinder linisher. IF ANY PART OF
THIS GRINDER LINISHER 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 LINISHER 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.
RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
AN EXPLOSIVE
Page 3
ALWAYS EASE
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.
NEVER START THE GRINDER LINISHER
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
LINISHER if the flange nut or clamp nut is
missing or if the spindle shaft is bent.
FREQUENTLY clean grinding dust from
beneath grinder.
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.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding,
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.
. 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.
