WARNING:
DO NOT overtighten. The direction of rotation will prevent the bolt from becoming loose.
• Spin the disc by hand to check it is secure and correctly aligned
Air supply connection
• This tool should be connected to a clean, dry air supply with inline oiler and water separator
• Do not allow supply pressure to exceed the maximum stated (see ‘Specifications’)
• Ensure that water is drained from air system daily
• Ensure all parts of the system (hoses, couplers, etc .) are correctly rated for the air pressure to
be used
Setting tool power
• The maximum tool speed/power can be adjusted by reducing/increasing the air supply pressure
within the range specified in ‘Specifications’
• Whilst working with the tool, speed adjustments can be made via the Speed Control Trigger (10)
Operation
WARNING:
DO NOT switch the machine on/off when the disc is in contact with the workpiece. Always
allow the motor to reach its full speed before applying load, and to stop completely before placing
the grinder down. Always hold the machine securely, using both hands, on the handles provided.
1. Hold the tool by its Handle (1) and turn it so the open side of the Guard (2) is facing away from
you. Your thumb should wrap around the handle and your fingers should sit on the Speed
Control Trigger (10)
2. Disengage the Safety Catch (9) and gently squeeze the trigger towards the handle
3. The Grinding Disc (5) will begin to spin. Squeeze the trigger further to increase the speed;
slightly release to decrease the speed
4. With the disc spinning at the required speed, slowly move the disc towards the workpiece, and
gently engage the material
WARNING:
When the disc begins to cut/grind, it will force the tool to move sideways. Make sure you
have a firm grip on the tool and are ready to counteract this.
5. As the disc begins to cut/grind, take note of the direction in which the waste material is being
ejected. It should be directed away from you, and not towards any person or object to which it
may cause damage
6. To stop the tool, remove the disc from the workpiece, fully release the trigger and allow the safety
catch to re-engage
Note:
DO NOT allow the tool to run in ‘idle rotation’ for an extended period of time. This will
shorten its life .
WARNING:
Be aware that air tools may hold residual pressure after use. Always bleed air pressure
from the tool after shutting off air supply .
Grinding
• Only use discs specifically manufactured for grinding operations. Stone and metal grinding discs
are not interchangeable; use the correct disc for your application
• When grinding, hold the tool at a 15° to 30° angle to the surface of the workpiece (Fig. A)
Note:
Do not apply too much pressure to the machine whilst grinding. Excessive pressure does not
result in more effective removal of material, but will cause premature wear of the grinding disc and
increased wear and tear on the machine.
Cutting
• Only use discs specifically manufactured for cutting operations. Stone and metal cutting discs are
not interchangeable, use the correct disc for your application
• Never use cutting discs for grinding operations . The disc might shatter and produce projectiles
that could injure the operator and bystanders
• When cutting, always keep the angle of the disc constant. Do not apply any sideways force to
cutting discs, as this might lead to the disc becoming jammed in the cut and shatter
WARNING:
Do not apply too much pressure to the machine whilst cutting. Excessive pressure does
not result in more effective or faster cutting, but will in fact cause premature wear of the cutting disc
and increase wear and tear on the machine.
Note:
The cutting disc will wear during use, and the disc diameter will gradually reduce in size.
The smaller the disc becomes, the more strain will be placed on the motor. To avoid damage to the
machine, only use cutting discs that are within approximately 25% of the original size.

Maintenance
WARNING:
Always disconnect from the air supply and depressurise before cleaning or carrying out
any maintenance .
Cleaning
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly, and
shorten the machine’s service life. Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth
IMPORTANT:
There is very little that can go wrong with your air tool and it should be noted that
when an air tool fails to work it is generally because the internal workings have corroded due to
dirty, wet air and failure to follow the instructions given below.
Daily maintenance procedure:
Disconnect from the air supply, pour the equivalent of a
tablespoon of oil into the air intake. Operate the machine at low speed to thoroughly lubricate all
internal workings.
• If the machine is in constant use or used for long periods at a time, a combined filter/lubricator
must be fitted. There must be an air filter fitted at all times
• Use air tool oil . DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE NORMAL ENGINE OIL
• Failure to comply with the operating and maintenance instructions may invalidate the guarantee
