3. Installation and Setup
Follow these steps to properly install the auxiliary handle onto your compatible Ryobi disc grinder:
- Ensure Power Tool is Off and Unplugged: Before beginning, always ensure your disc grinder is switched off and disconnected from the power supply to prevent accidental startup.
- Locate the Auxiliary Handle Mounting Point: Identify the threaded hole on the side or top of your disc grinder, specifically designed for an auxiliary handle. Refer to your grinder's manual if unsure.

4. Operating Instructions
The auxiliary handle is intended to provide additional control and reduce fatigue during prolonged use of your disc grinder. Always operate the grinder with both hands when the auxiliary handle is attached.
- Two-Handed Operation: Grip the main body of the grinder with one hand and the auxiliary handle with the other. This two-handed grip provides superior control and stability, especially during demanding tasks.
- Maintain Balance: Use the auxiliary handle to balance the weight of the grinder and apply even pressure to the workpiece.
- Adjust Position: If your grinder allows, the auxiliary handle can often be repositioned to different mounting points (e.g., left or right side) to suit your working angle and handedness. Always disconnect power before adjusting.
- Avoid Overreaching: Keep your body in a stable position and avoid overreaching while operating the grinder. The auxiliary handle helps maintain a comfortable and controlled posture.
5. Care and Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your auxiliary handle and ensure safe operation.
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the handle clean with a dry cloth to remove dust, debris, and grime. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the material.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the handle for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage, particularly around the threaded connection point. If any damage is found, replace the handle immediately.
- Storage: Store the auxiliary handle in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If detached from the grinder, keep it with the grinder's accessories to prevent loss.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your auxiliary handle, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Handle feels loose or wobbly:
- Ensure the handle is fully threaded and tightened securely.
- Check the threaded hole on the grinder for any debris or damage that might prevent a tight fit.
- Inspect the handle's threaded shaft for stripped threads. If stripped, the handle needs replacement.
