Air Supply...
Tools of this class operate on a wide range of air
pressures. It is recommended that air pressure of these
tools measures 90 PSI at the tool while running free.
Higher pressure (over 90 psig; 6.2 bar) raises
performance beyond the rated capacity of the tool which
will shorten tool life because of faster wear and could
cause injury.
Always use clean, dry air. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or
water in the air line will cause damage to the tool. Drain
the air tank daily. Clean the air inlet filter screen on at
least a weekly schedule. The recommended hookup
procedure can be viewed in the above figure.
The air inlet used for connecting air supply has standard
1/4" NPT. Line pressure should be increased to
compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 25 feet).
Minimum hose diameter should be 3/8" I.D. and fittings
should have the same inside dimensions and be tightly
secured.
Operation...
When using the grinder, be careful not to exert excessive force. Too much force may be hazardous if it causes the cutting tool
spindle to bend or break.
The burning of the work piece or excessive speed reduction indicates too much force being applied. Changing to a free cutting
tool may be better for the desired rate of speed and stock removal.
Avoid hazardous condition by making sure there is sufficient gripping force on the spindle of the cutting tool by placing the
spindle 7/16" or more inside the collet.
Lubrication...
Lubricate the air motor daily with quality air tool oil. If no air line oiler is used, run a teaspoon of oil through the tool. The oil
can be squirted into the tool air inlet or into the hose at the nearest connection to the air supply, then run the tool. The
amount of oil to be used is 1 ounce. Overfilling will cause a reduction in the power of the tool.
Other factors outside the tool may cause loss of power or erratic action. Reduced compressor output, excessive drain on the
air line, moisture or restrictions in air pipes or the use of hose connections of improper size or poor condition may reduce air
supply. Grit or gum deposits in the tool may cut power and may be corrected by cleaning the air strainer and flushing out the
tool with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE #10 oil and kerosene. If outside conditions are in order and the tool
continues erratic action at low power, disconnect tool from hose and take tool to your nearest authorized service center.
