to do a job for which it was not designed.
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 gauge size (A.W.G.) of at
least 16 is recommended for an extension cord 8 metres
or less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
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.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE
SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-
resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust mask
if the cutting operation is dusty.
PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation.
DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by the cord or yank
it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord away from

WORK REST-EBG2515/EBG3720
See Figure. 6
Mount the work rests to the work rest bracket using the
knob, washer, and one hex nut.
Before tightening the bolts, adjust the gap between the
grinding wheel and the work rest to a maximum of 1.6mm.
Tighten securely.
Keep the object in constant motion, moving it at an
even pace.
BASIC OPERATION
To be efficient and work as designed, your tools should
be kept sharp. Dull tools can and will cause accidents.
Bench Grinders are ideal for sharpening tools such as
chisels, planer blades, scissors, etc., and for removing
rust or corrosion.
Grinders remove material rapidly so pressure is the key
to efficient grinding.
The proper way to sharpen a tool and avoid overheating is:
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust.
If operation is dusty, wear a dust mask.
WARNING:
Excessive pressure on a cold wheel may cause the wheel
to crack.
WARNING:
Never sharpen or grind anything made of aluminium.
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. 6
The following recommendations will help you sharpen
specific tools:
TWIST DRILL BITS
see Figure 7.
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.
Note: Excessive pressure may damage the tool, cause
the motor to overheat, and prematurely wear down the
grinding wheel.

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.

OPERATION
LAWN MOWER BLADES
See Figure 8.
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. WHEEL REPLACEMENT
See Figure 10.
If you must replace a grinding wheel, be sure to obtain
one with a safe rated speed at least as high as the "no
load speed" RPM marked on the data plate of the grinder
and which is marked to comply with SAA.
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.
CHISELS AND SCREWDRIVER BLADES
See Figure 9.
When sharpening chisels and screwdrivers, work rest should
support the chisel at the correct angle against the wheel.
WARNING:
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.
CAUTION
An unbalanced lawn mower blade may cause excessive
vibration which will damage the lawn mower

MAINTENANCE
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
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.
Awire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended
for an extension cord 8 metres 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.
WHEEL DRESSING TOOL
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 dressing tool 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 dressing tool 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.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical Ryobi replacement
parts. Use of any other part may create a hazard of cause
product damage.
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
When the light bulb is worn out and will no longer work,
unfasten the screws which fix the lamp cover, then gently
remove the bulb from the holder by pushing in and turning
anticlockwise. Contact your dealer for replacement part.
To replace, gently push the light bulb into the insert and
turn clockwise, then fix the lamp cover in the revise order.
WARNING:
Do not use excess force as this could lead to the
globe breaking and serious injury.
