RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
Safe operation of this power tool requires that you read and
■ PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing protection
understand this operator's manual and all labels affixed to
the tool. Safety is a combination of common sense, staying
alert, and knowing how your bench grinder works.
during extended periods of operation.
■ DON’T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by the cord or
yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from
heat, oil, and sharp edges.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
■ DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance
■ KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the operator's
manual carefully. Learn the applications and limitations
as well as specific potential hazards related to this tool.
at all times.
■ MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and
clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories.
■ GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK by preventing
body contact with grounded surfaces. For example: pipes,
radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
■ NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN
POWER OFF. Disconnect all tools when not in use, before
servicing, or when changing attachments, wheels, etc.
■ KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order. Never
operate the tool with any guard or cover removed. Make
sure all guards are operating properly before each use.
■ AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Be sure switch is off
when plugging in.
■ REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form
habit of checking to see keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from tool before turning it on.
■ USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury.
■ USE ONLY GRINDING WHEELS that comply with ANSI
■ KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered work areas
B7.1 and rated greater than 3600 RPM.
and work benches invite accidents.
■ DO NOT use wheels with incorrect size holes. NEVER
use wheel washers or wheel screws that are defective or
incorrect and NEVER touch grinding wheel or other mov-
ing parts.
■ AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use
power tools near gasoline or other flammable liquids, in
damp or wet locations or expose them to rain. Keep work
area well lighted.
■ NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if
the tool is tipped or if the wheel is unintentionally
contacted.
■ KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All visitors
should wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance
from work area.
■ DIRECTION OF FEED. Be aware of wheel rotation
direction; never grind without the workrest being properly
set. NEVER grind more than one workpiece at a time.
■ MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with padlocks,
master switches, or by removing starter keys.
■ DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
WARNING: Wheel coasts after turn off.
■ USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool or
attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
■ CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged must be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center to avoid risk of personal injury.
■ USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 16
is recommended for an extension cord 25 feet or less in
length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller
the gage number, the heavier the cord.
■ 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 EXTENSION CORDS PERIODICALLY and
replace if damaged.
■ WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing,
neckties, or jewelry that can get caught in the tool’s
moving parts and cause personal injury. Nonslip footwear
is recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
■ 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 AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE.
Normal sparking of the motor or sparking from grinding
metal could ignite fumes.
■ ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE
SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-
resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
■ USE OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORDS. Use only
extension cords with approved ground connection that
are intended for use outdoors and so marked.
■ PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust mask if
the grinding operation is dusty.

■ FREQUENTLY clean grinding dust from beneath grinder.
■ DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT
ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by an
authorized service center.
■ DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY
MEDICATION.
■ DO NOT TURN THE MOTOR SWITCH ON AND OFF
RAPIDLY. This could cause the wheel to loosen and could
create a hazard. Should this ever occur, stand clear and
allow the wheel to come to a complete stop. Disconnect
your grinder from the power supply and securely retighten
the wheel nut.
■ ALWAYS STAY ALERT. Do not allow familiarity, gained
from frequent use of your grinder, to cause a careless
mistake. ALWAYS REMEMBER that a careless fraction
of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
■ 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.
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.
■ 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:
■ USE ONLY FLANGES furnished with this bench grinder.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
■ IF ANY PART OF THIS GRINDER 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.
• lead from lead-based paints,
■ MAKE SURE THE GRINDER IS SECURELY MOUNTED
as described in the operating instructions before connect-
ing the tool to a power supply.
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
■ DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE WHEEL NUT. Excessive
tightening can cause the wheel to crack during opera-
tion.
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.
■ INSPECT GRINDING WHEEL for visible defects. Check
the wheel for fissures and cracks. Replace defective
wheels prior to use.
■ ADJUST distance between wheel and work rest to
maintain 1/16 in. or less separation, readjustment is
necessary as the diameter of the wheel decreases with
use.
■ 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.

ELECTRICAL
EXTENSION CORDS
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong ground-
ing plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from the
power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry
the current that the tool will draw. An undersized extension
cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of
power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the chart
provided below to determine the minimum wire size required
in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by
Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.
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. If the machine does not operate when
plugged into an outlet, double check the power supply.
CAUTION:
Keep the cord away from the grinding area and position
the cord so that it will not be caught on material, tools, or
other objects.

To be efficient and work as designed, your tools should
be kept sharp. Dull tools can and will cause accidents.
BIT SHARPENING
SCREWDRIVER
Fig. 8
Bench Grinders are ideal for sharpening tools such as
chisels, planer blades, scissors, etc., and for removing rust
or corrosion.
LAWN MOWER BLADE
WARNING:
Never sharpen or grind anything made of aluminum.
Grinders remove material rapidly so pressure is the key to
efficient grinding.
VISE
The proper way to sharpen a tool and avoid overheating is:
■ Keep the object in constant motion, moving it at an even
pace.
■ Never force a tool against the grinding wheel.
■ Keep the tool cool by using either a cooling tray or a pan
of water.
■ The grinding wheel should rotate “into” the object being
sharpened.
Fig. 9
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.
Note: Excessive pressure may damage the tool, cause the
motor to overheat, and prematurely wear down the grinding
wheel.
WARNING:
Excessive pressure on a cold wheel may cause the wheel
to crack.
LAWN MOWER BLADES
See Figure 9.
Lawn mower blades are usually sharpened on only one
edge and dressed up slightly on the other. Perform this
sharpening process on both cutting ends of the blade. After
sharpening, be sure to balance the blade by removing
additional material.
The following recommendations will help you sharpen
specific tools:
TWIST DRILL BITS
See Figure 8.
Drill bits are best sharpened on a sharpening jig (available
at most hardware stores). Begin on one side of the point
at the existing angle, then twist the bit while maintaining
contact with the grinding surface. Sharpen only the tip.
CAUTION:
An unbalanced lawn mower blade may cause excessive
vibration which will damage the lawn mower.

CHISELS AND SCREWDRIVER BLADES

When sharpening chisels and screwdrivers, work rest should
support the chisel at the correct angle against the wheel.

ADVERTENCIA
Always disconnect the bench grinder from the power
source before performing any assembly or adjustment.
Failure to do so could result in accidental starting resulting
in possible serious personal injury.

WHEEL REPLACEMENT
See Figure 11.
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.
Fig. 10
CHISEL SHARPENING
To replace the grinding wheel, remove the wheel cover by
loosening the screws. Loosen the wheel nut in a clockwise
direction for the left side and a counterclockwise direction
for the right side. Remove the outer flange and grinding
wheel. To install a new grinding wheel, reverse the above
procedure. Be sure the grinding wheel and outer flange are
properly seated on the spindle shaft.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical Ryobi replacement
parts. Use of any other part may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
10 WATT, 12 VOLT
WORKLIGHT BULB
GENERAL
Keep the bench grinder clean. Remove dust from working
parts and beneath the grinder frequently.
Make sure the bench grinder operates properly. Check
screws, nuts, and bolts for tightness.
EXTENSION CORDS
TO REMOVE BULB
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power.
To keep the loss to a minimum and to prevent tool
overheating, use an extension cord that is heavy enough to
carry the current the tool will draw.
10 WATT, 12 VOLT
WORKLIGHT BULB
SLOT
A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for
an extension cord 25 feet or less in length. When working
outdoors, use an extension cord that is suitable for outdoor
use. The cord's jacket will be marked WA.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged,
replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord
since touching the damaged area could cause electrical
shock resulting in serious injury.

WORKLIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
See Figure 12.
IMPORTANT
Servicing requires extreme care and knowledge and should
be performed only by a qualified service technician. For
service we suggest you return the tool to your nearest RYOBI
AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER for repair. When servic-
ing, use only identical Ryobi replacement parts.
To remove worklight bulb, gently push the bulb into the socket
and turn counterclockwise. To install the new bulb, gently
push the bulb into the socket and turn clockwise.
WHEEL DRESSER
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. Press the
dresser slightly against the rotating wheel until you get a
bite, then move slowly from side to side across the wheel. A
small bite and many passes is better than a big bite and one
pass. Work cautiously, hold the dresser with force on the
work rest. Do not use excessive pressure against the
grinding wheel. Proceed slowly until you master the
technique.

**Ampere rating
(on tool data plate) 0-2.0
2.1-3.4 3.5-5.0 5.1-7.0 7.1-12.0 12.1-16.0
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. Use the chart to determine the minimum wire size re-
quired in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords should
be used.

—
When working with a tool outdoors, use an extension cord that
is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the letters "WA"
on the cord's jacket.
CAUTION: Keep the extension cord clear of the working
area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on workpiece,
tools, or other obstructions while you are working with a power
tool.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed
wires and cut or worn insulation.
**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.
