SET-UP & CONNECTION

•  Be sure that the air supply to the tool 

is clean and dry. Moisture in the sup-
ply line will quickly damage the motor 
and valves.

•  A minimum 3/8” I.D. air line should 

be used for optimal performance.

•  Thread a suitable 1/4” Male Quick-

Disconnect Fitting (included) into the 
air inlet of the tool using TFE thread 
sealing tape (not included). 

OPERATION

•  Rotate the Knob located at the rear of 

the tool handle and under the Throttle 
Paddle to regulate motor speed 

(FIG 

5)

. This Knob offers 30° of travel. 

Note that rotating in a Clockwise 
direction will result in higher speed 
while Counter-clockwise will  
decrease speed. 

•  Flip the Safety Lever forward and 

Depress Throttle Paddle inward to 
operate tool 

(FIG 6)

.

•  Always maintain a firm grip while 

operating tool, do not force but allow 
the rotational speed of the Cut-Off 
Wheel to do the work. 

•  Be sure that the workpiece is 

clamped down or held securely to 
minimize the danger of injury while 
operating tool.
