Important Notes
CAUTION The signal word “caution!” identifies all
portions of this operating instruction meriting spe-
cial attention to ensure that guidelines, rules, hints
and the correct work procedures are observed;
and, to prevent damage to and destruction of the
grinder and/or parts.
A recommended spare part (or set) for every five
(5) tools. Small, low cost or easily lost parts should
be stocked as 3-4 per 10 tools.
WARNING
’: Disconnect the air supply hose before
servicing the tool.
INSTALLATION
For most efficient operation, 90 psig (620 kPa) of
clean dry air is required at the tool with the tool
running, with-out extreme fluctuation. Minimum
recommended hose size is 3/8” I.D. when the
length of the hose is eight feet or less. An air line
filter and lubricator, should be used. Hose should be
blown out before attaching to the tool.
Loss of Power
A loss of power may not be related to the tool.
First, check the air line pressure. It should be 90
psi at the tool while operating.
LUBRICATION
Lubricate the motor with an air line lubricator,
using a light air motor oil. Adjust the lubricator
to dispense one drop per cycle or three drops per
minute.
CAUTION Do not use substitutes for oil and grease.
This could
result in damage to the tool.
MAINTENANCE
1. Proper and continuous lubrication.
2. Blow out air hose to assure a clean air supply.
3. Be sure the air filter and line lubricator are clean.
4. Fill the line lubricator before operation.
5. Place a few drops of oil into the air inlet of the
tool be-fore attaching the air line.
6. Use moisture separators to remove water from
the air line.
7. CAUTION Do not use solvent on bearings or on
any parts made of a synthetic material.
8. Do not remove bearings unless replacement is
necessary; bearings are a press fit.
Always wear eye protection when operating or
performing maintenance on this tool.
Always wear hearing protection when operating this
tool.
Keep hands, loose clothing and long hair away from
rotating end of tool.
Anticipate and be alert for sudden changes in mo-

LOWING WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN INJURY.
PLACING TOOL IN SERVICE
• Always operate, inspect and maintain this tool in accordance with all regu-
lations (local, state, federal and country), that may apply to hand held/hand
operated pneumatic tools.
• Always turn off the air supply and disconnect the air supply hose before
installing, removing or adjusting any accessory on this tool, or before per-
forming any maintenance on this tool.
• Do not use damaged, frayed or deteriorated air hoses and fittings.
• Be sure all hoses and fittings are the correct size and are tightly secured. l
Always use clean, dry air at 90 psig (6.2 bar/620 kPa) maximum air pressure.
Dust, corrosive fumes and/or excessive moisture can ruin the motor of an air
tool.
• Do not lubricate tools with flammable or volatile liquids such as kerosene,
diesel or jet fuel.
Do not remove any labels. Replace any damaged label.
1.
TOOL INTENT
-Henry Tools vertical Grinders are designed for heavy material
removal. For consistent, quality performance in foundries, welding shops, fabri-
cation facilities, steel mills and shipyards. Tools shall be used only for purposes
intended in their design (refer to product catalog).
2.
AIR SUPPLY
- Test and operate tools at 90 PSIG (6.2 bar/620 kPa) maxi-
mum air pressure at the inlet with 3/8” (10 mm) inside diameter air supply
hose. Use recommended airline filters-regulators-lubricators. Choose tools with
enough horsepower to drive the abrasive material you are using, and allow the
grinder’s speed to work for you.
3.
UNUSUAL SOUND or VIBRATION
- If tool vibrates or produces an unusual
sound, repair immediately for correction.
4.
OPERATOR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
- Wear goggles or face shield at all
times tool is in operation. Other protective clothing shall be worn, if necessary.
SEE REGULATIONS.
5.
SAFETY MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
- Employ a safety program to provide
inspection and maintenance of all phases of tool operation and air supply equip-
ment in accordance with “Safety Code for Portable Air Tools.”
WARNING: The signal word ‘Warning” identifies all notes on safe work practices
