APPLICATION

The product is ideal for cutting-off operation. The durable 

and lightweight composite housing design also helps 

reduce vibration. It has a lever lock throttle for safety. Any 

other use is forbidden.

The  product  can  cut  aluminum,  plastic,  fiber-glass  and 

steel. A chrome-plated safety guard and a safety latch 

protect the user against injury. A safety lock mechanism 

prevents accidental start-ups.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even if you are operating this product in accordance 

with all the safety requirements, potential risks of injury 

and damage remain. The following dangers can arise in 

connection with the structure and design of this product:
1.  Health defects resulting from vibration and noise 

emission if the product is being used over long periods 

of time or not adequately managed and properly 

maintained.

2.  Injuries and damage to property due to broken cutting 

attachments or the sudden impact of hidden objects 

during use.

3.  Danger of injury and property damage caused by 

flying objects.

AIR SUPPLY AND OPERATION

 

Ensure air valve (or trigger) is in the “off” position 

before connecting to the air supply.

 

Connect the product to the air hose.

 

Press the trigger to operate the product.

 

The air regulator controls the amount of air flow 

entering the rotor. Turn the air regular adjustment 

knob to decrease/increase the speed of the product.

 

Do not allow the product to free run for an extended 

period of time as this will shorten its life.

 

There is a risk of excessive vibration levels due to 

improper mounting or damage of insert tool.

 

There is a risk of running on of the inserted tool after 

the start and stop device has been released.

 

Only permitted insert tools of the correct diameter are 

used.

 

Release the start and stop device in the case of an 

interruption of the air supply.

 

Disconnect the product from the air supply before 

changing accessories or making adjustments.

 

Required air pressure of 6.3 bar (90 psi), and an air 

flow according to specifications.

 

Attach the cutting off wheel, lock washer and lock 

washer nut to the collet.

 

Tighten the lock washer nut to secure the cutting off 

wheel by the provided hex key and wrench.

 

Before operation, ensure the inserted tool is fixed in 

the product.

 WARNING

Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed   

6.3 bar (90 psi) while operating the product. Too high an 

air pressure and unclean air will shorten the product's 

life due to excessive wear, and may be dangerous 

causing damage and/or personal injury.

LUBRICATION

An 

automatic 

in-line 

filter-regulator-lubricator 

is 

recommended (Fig. 7) as it increases product life and keeps 

the product in sustained operation. The in-line lubricator 

should be regularly checked and filled with air tool oil.

Proper adjustment of the in-line lubricator is performed by 

placing a sheet of paper next to the exhaust ports and 

holding the throttle open for approximately 30 seconds. 

The lubricator is properly set when a light stain of oil 

collects on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil should be 

avoided.
If it becomes necessary to store the product for an extended 

period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.), it should receive 

a generous amount of lubrication at that time. The product 

should be run for approximately 30 seconds to ensure oil 

has been evenly distributed throughout the product. The 

product should be stored in a clean and dry environment. 

 

It is most important that the product be properly 

lubricated by keeping the air line lubricator filled 

and correctly adjusted. Without proper lubrication 

the product will not work properly and parts will 

wear prematurely.

 

Use correct lubricant in the air line lubricator. The 

lubricator should be of low air flow or changing air 

flow type, and should be kept filled to the correct 

level. Use only recommended lubricants, specially 

made for pneumatic applications. Substitutes 

may harm the rubber compounds in the product's 

O-rings and other rubber parts.
