•Follow all workshop Health & Safety rules, regulations, and conditions when
using tool.
•WARNING! Disconnect from air supply before changing cutting disc or servicing.
•Maintain tool in good condition and replace any damaged or worn parts. Use
genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the
warranty.
•WARNING! Check correct air pressure is maintained and not exceeded. We
recommend 90psi.
•Keep air hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check air hose for wear
before each use and ensur
e that all connections are secure.
•
WARNING! Before each use check cutting disc is secure and the disc is not
worn or damaged. If damaged replace immediately.
•
Ensure replacement discs are not damaged in any way such as cracks,
deformations or splinters etc. Also check the mounting washer to ensure it is not
deformed, burred or notched. Damaged washer must not be used as it may
cause irregular pressure on the disc which may cause the disc to break. DO
NOT over tighten a disc and never tamper with a disc in order to adapt it to a
different size holder.
•
Always use a disc suitable for the material being cut. Ensure the maximum
speed specification of the cutting disc is the same as or higher than that
indicated on the machine data plate.
•
WARNING! Keep disc guard in place, tight and in good working order. The
safety guard is a mandatory fitting where the tool is used in premises covered by
the Health & Safety at Work Act.
•
WARNING! Always wear approved eye or face protection when operating the
tool.
•
Use breathing protection in accordance with COSHH regulations if fumes or dust
pose a hazard.

Keep hands and body clear of the workpiece when operating the tool.
•
Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear
non-slip shoes.
•
Secure non stable workpiece with a clamp, vice or other adequate holding
device.
•
Keep children and non essential persons away from the working area.
•
Avoid subjecting disc to excessive strain, always ease disc down against
workpiece (a harsh impact may break the disc). Do not over press in order to cut
workpiece. Maintain a controlled adequate progression, which will emit a
maximum of sparks.
