▪
Make sure that the ventilation slots are not clogged. Do not
insert any objects over the ventilation slots;
▪
The rotating accessories and the workpiece may become too
hot during operation. Avoid touching them, they can cause
severe burns;
▪
Make sure that you don’t damage the electrical circuits, gas
and water pipes when operating the equipment. Any
damage to these installations can cause fire, explosion,
electric shock or property damage;
While operating the air angle grinder, plan rest breaks and avoid
using the air angle grinder for long periods. Permanent
vibrations are harmful to health.
Operating the pneumatic tool causes a massive load of
vibrations may damage nervous and circulatory systems,
especially to whom have circulatory disorders. Inform your
doctor if any symptoms arise caused by the vibrations. Among
these symptoms, that occur specially on fingers, hand and
wrists, are also included loss of sensation, pain, muscle
weakness, skin discoloration or tingling sensation.
Avoid using the pneumatic angle grinder on surfaces
coated with paints containing lead or other materials
harmful to health. Any contact or inhalation of dust may cause
allergic reactions and / or breathing disorders.
Materials containing asbestos cannot be worked. Asbestos is
carcinogenic.
Do not use air tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Air tools create
sparks that can ignite liquids, gases, or dust.
Compressed air line
To ensure that the pneumatic angle grinder is used in a safe
way, to make it easier to change attachments, to optimise the
operation of the appliance and to extend its service life, certain
precautions and procedures must be considered such as:
▪
The air pressure supplying the appliance must not exceed the
maximum pressure given in the technical specifications;
▪
The compressed air system must have a filter capable of
regulating the working pressure, eliminating liquid and solid
particles and lubricating the appliance. This keeps the
appliance lubricated and reduces friction;
▪
Drain the pressure regulator cup daily. The presence of water
in the compressed air system can cause damage to the
appliance mechanism;
▪
The compressed air line shall be composed of a 3/8"
diameter hose;
▪
Never use a compressed air hose for pulling, transporting the
pneumatic tool. Damaged hoses increase the risk of
accidents and injuries;
▪
Keep the air hose away from heat sources, oil, sharp objects
and rotating parts. If the air hose is damaged, it should be
replaced;
▪
Constantly check the condition of air hoses and couplings to
detect and prevent air leaks;
▪
The compressed air system must have a shut-off valve that
cuts off the compressed air supply in the event of an
emergency.
Maintenance and cleaning
Disconnect the tool from the compressed air system
before performing any type of cleaning, adjustment,
change of attachments, repair or maintenance.
Cleaning:
Always keep the pneumatic angle grinder clean and dry. Clean
all pneumatic air grinder’s components and accessories after
operation.
Always keep pneumatic air grinder handle free from oils,
lubricants or grease.
Do not use aggressive cleaning products. These products may
damage plastics and metals, compromising the safe operation
of the pneumatic tool.
Maintenance:
Replace worn out or damaged parts immediately, so that the
pneumatic tool is always in a safe operating condition.
Keep all bolts well tightened to ensure a safe operation.
Only maintenance works described in this instruction manual
may be carried out; all other works must be performed by an
official dealer.
Use only VITO-approved tools and attachable accessories for
this appliance or technically identical parts. Failure to do so may
result in personal injuries or damages to the pneumatic angle
grinder. If in doubt, if you lack knowledge or resources, you
should contact an official distributor.
