Intended Use; Environmental Protection - Ryobi RBG6G Original Instructions Manual

turned to OFF, carefully spin the wheel by hand. The
wheel should not contact any components of the
bench grinder, and there should be no binding or other
conditions that may affect proper operation.
■ During each start-up, stand to one side of the grinder
and switch it ON. Let the grinder operate at full speed
for one minute so that any undetected flaws or cracks
of the wheel will become apparent. Do not contact the
wheel with the work piece until the bench grinder has
reached full speed.
■ Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold the work
when practical. It is safer than using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate the tool.
■ Keep hands and body parts clear of grinding wheels.
Contacting the rotating wheel may cause injury.
■ Always use guards and eye shields. Keep all guards in
place and in working order. Operating the bench grinder
without guards or with damaged guards may result in
injury.
■ Avoid burns. Grinding may cause items and the grinding
wheel to become hot. Do not touch the grinding wheel
or items that may be hot.
■ Do not use the grinder to work on small items or items
which cannot be held properly. The item may be thrown
and result in injury.
■ Never grind on the side of the wheel. The wheel will
shatter. Grind on the face of the wheel only.
■ Never leave a running tool unattended. Turn the power
switch to OFF. The grinding wheels continue to rotate
after the tool is switched off. Do not leave the tool until
it has come to a complete stop.
■ Never reach behind or beneath the grinding wheels.
■ Use ear protection, such as plugs or muffs, during
extended periods of operation.
■ The vibration emission during actual use of power tool
can differ from the declared total value depending on
the ways in which the tool is used. Operators need to
identify safety measures to protect themselves based
on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions
of use.
■ Remove the plug before carrying out any adjustment,
servicing or maintenance. The power cord must remain
unplugged whenever you are maintaining your bench
grinder.
■ Adjust tool rests whenever necessary to keep the
distance between the work rests and the grinding
wheels as small as possible. This distance shall be less
than or equal to 2 mm in any case. As the diameter
of the grinding wheel decreases with use, maintain the
maximum tool rest distance by adjusting it.
■ Adjust spark arrestors whenever necessary to keep
the distance between the work rests and the grinding
wheels as small as possible. This distance shall be less
than or equal to 2 mm in any case. As the diameter
of the grinding wheel decreases with use, maintain the
maximum spark arrestor distance by adjusting it.
2
■ Replace grinding wheel when its diameter wear value
is more than 8mm.
■ Replace work rest when its thickness wear value is
more than 0.5 mm.
■ When fitting a new grinding wheel, always check that
the stated maximum RPM meets or exceeds that stated
on the grinder. Ensure the wheel diameter and arbor
size meet that stated on the specifications. Also check
the new wheel for damage, such as flaws or cracks.

INTENDED USE
