Oil tool before each use. 4 to 5 drops of a good grade Air Tool Oil placed in the air inlet is
sufficient. Use proper air pressure and CFM rating listed for this tool.
Drain water from hoses and compressor tank. Water in the air supply line will cause
gumming and loss of power. Clean the air filter on the supply line and flush the tool with
gum solvent or a 50/50 mix of air tool oil and kerosene. It may be necessary to
disassemble the tool to properly clean and re-lubricate.

1. When using the grinder be careful not to exert excessive force. Too much force may be
hazardous if it causes the grinding tool spindle to bend or break.
2. The burning of the work piece or excessive speed reduction indicates too much force
being applied.
3. Avoid hazardous conditions by making sure the spindle of grinding tool is placed at least
7/16" inside the collet.
4. Use only grinding stones rated at 20,000 RPM or higher.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
ASSEMBLY / INSTALLATION
1. You will need to prepare the 1/4" Quick-disconnect Coupler Plug to connect to the air inlet on the
Die Grinder. Wrap the Coupler Plug with pipe thread seal tape before threading it into the Air Inlet.
Connect the a Quick-Disconnect coupler on a 3/8" ID Air Source Hose to the tool.
Note: If you are not using an automatic oiler system, before operation, add a few drops of Pneumatic
Tool Oil to the airline connection. Add a few drops more after each hour of continual use.
2. Set the air pressure on your compressor to 90 PSI. Do not exceed the recommended air pressure
of 90 PSI.
3. Check the air connection for leaks. Once you are satisfied there are no leaks, turn off the air
compressor and disconnect the tool.
Clean air of correct air pressure is recommended for the power supply for this tool. A maximum of 90
PSI at the tool is recommended for most air tools of this class. Check specifications section for
recommended pressure. (Depending on length of air hose and other circumstances, air pressure at
compressor may need to be increased to 100 PSI to ensure 90 PSI at the tool.)
Water in the air hose and compressor tank contributes to reduced performance and damage of the
air tool. Drain the air tank and filters before each use and as necessary to keep the air supply dry.
Hose length over 25’ causes loss in line pressure. Increase hose I.D. or increase compressor
pressure to compensate for the pressure loss. Use an in-line pressure regulator with gauge if air inlet
pressure is critical.

13. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts or mounting fixtures; and
any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician.
14. Maintenance. For your safety, maintenance should be performed regularly by a qualified
technician using original PERFORMANCE TOOLS® replacement parts. Failure to do so can
lead to accidents for the operator. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use
accessories intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are available from
Performance Tool®. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on
another tool.
WARNING: Repetitive motions or exposure to vibration may be harmful to your hands and arms.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding contains chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. An example of this type of chemical is
-lead from lead based paints,
-Crystalline Silica from bricks and cement or other masonry,
-Arsenic and Chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure: work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as dusk
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
This product and its packaging contain a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
