Don’t use a disc larger than the maximum cutting capacity outlined below and in the product user manual, as a larger disc can cause damage to the tool, and potentially harm you or a bystander.

Product	Model #	Maximum disc capacity	Inner diameter	Thread
RYOBI 125mm Angle Grinder	R18AG7-0, RAG18X, R18AG1, R18AG15, RAG80125-G	125mm/5 inches	22.2mm	M14
RYOBI 115mm Angle Grinder	R18AG4115-0, R18AG14	115m	22.2mm	M14
RYOBI 100mm Angle Grinder	EAG75100-G	100mm / 4 inches	16mm	M10
RYOBI 230mm Angle Grinder	EAG2023RG	230mm / 9 inches	22.2mm	M14

What to check for when fitting your disc:

The internal diameter of the disc must sit flush inside the inner flange.
The outside diameter must have even clearance from the guard and must not touch or rub against the guard.
You may use brush wheels, diamond cup wheels and flap discs, but they must meet the conventions outlined above.
Removing the guard, incorrect fitment, and use of accessories with incompatible conventions can also cause damage to the tool and harm to the user.
Not all Angle Grinders are equipped for cutting or grinding; check that the grinder you have is up to the task and the disc is rated for the speed that the tool can produce.
