CAUTION!
Lubricating the pneumatic grinder before and during work is not needed.
Excessive oil will turn to a tar-like substance inside the tool, causing the
vanes to stick in the rotor and slow the tool down. This is the reason we
do not recommend automatic oilers to be used with this angle grinder. Old
or worn compressors, which emit oil through the air lines, can significantly
shorten the life of the tool.
helPFul hINt:
• Air throttle lever should be pressed and released slowly to
allow the angle grinder to accelerate and decelerate during
all applications. Rapid acceleration and deceleration can
wear out the ball bearings prematurely.
helPFul hINt:
• Using a Filter Regulator System is Recommended
FIlteR/ReGulAtoR SyStem
Having a Filter/Regulator (See Fig. 6)
helps prevent pressure drops when
using a large volume of air, so you
can set the pressure of the pneumatic
angle grinder to 90 PSI, while the main
system can run at 125 PSI. The F/R
unit will also remove any water from
the air supply while also filtering the air
of contamination down to five microns.
By only using aluminum and brass after the F/R unit, you are eliminating
any rust and contamination from getting into the air tools.

recommends the F/R Manifold 53 CFM for single use with the
PSG-125 (Part No.1030-0022). All F/R manifolds are available through
our distributor network, and via our website.
CoNNeCtING the AIR SuPPly
The air Inlet for this pneumatic angle grinder is 3/8” NPT. Using a 3/8” or
1/2” inner diameter hose is highly recommended when operating this tool.
An air supply hose is not included with the PSG-125 Pneumatic
Angle Grinder.
helPFul hINt:
Use Hi-Flo couplers and plugs to obtain the maximum CFM through the
tool.
