The
EASTWOOD 4”, EXTENDED-REACH AIR CUT-OFF TOOL
provides the versatility to reach many
areas inaccessible to ordinary pneumatic Cut-Off tools. The reversible feature allows the user to choose the
direction of the resulting “spark-shower” to avoid injury and property damage. A high-torque, ball bearing
supported, 4 vane motor provides smooth operation and long life. Speed is easily controlled with a variable
speed control lever, while motor activation is by paddle control. Included Arbor Washers will accept 3/8” or
5/8” Arbor I.D. Wheels.

• While still pressing the Arbor Lock Button, thread in the REVERSE THREADED Socket Head Cap

USAGE TIPS
• The reversing feature is very useful for controlling the direction of spark-shower discharge.
Plan your tool position and direction of rotation while cutting to minimize and redirect the spark
shower.
• Keep the cutting edge of the Cut-Off Wheel tangent to the work surface whenever possible to
minimize uneven wear or damage and maximize usable wheel life.
MAINTENANCE
• Add several drops of air tool oil before each use by dropping directly into the air inlet.
• If tool is to be unused for an extended period, add 10 drops of air tool oil directly to the air
inlet, rotate the tool motor by hand several times to distribute the oil throughout the motor and
gearbox then store the tool, handle up.
• With the air supply disconnected, frequently inspect Cut-Off Wheel condition and Clamping
Screw tightness.
Always disconnect tool from air supply before replacing Cut-Off Wheels to
prevent accidental tool starting and potential severe injury.
This screw is REVERSE THREADED. Use caution not to strip or break this screw when
removing or installing (Fig 2).
