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).

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.
