SIOUX 5564A Bedieneranweisung Seite 2

'On/Off' valve to exhaust the air from the feed hose
before fitting, removing or adjusting the working
attachment fitted to the tool.
- Before using the tool, make sure that a shut off device
has been fitted to the air supply line and the position is
known and easily accessible so that the air supply to
the tool can be shut off in an emergency.
- Check hose and fittings regularly for wear.
- Take care against entanglement of the moving parts of
the tool with clothing, hair, ties, cleaning rags, rings,
jewelry, watches, bracelets, etc. This could cause the
body or parts of the body to be drawn towards and in
contact with the moving parts of the tool and could be
very dangerous.
- It is expected that users will adopt safe working
practices and observe all local, regional and country
legal requirements when installing, using or
maintaining the tool.
- Take care that the exhaust air does not point towards
any other person or material or substance that could
be contaminated by oil droplets. When first lubricating
a tool or if the tool exhaust has a high oil content, do
not allow the exhaust air to come near very hot
surfaces or flames.
- Never lay the tool down until the working attachment
has stopped moving.
- When the tool is not in use, shut off the air supply and
press the trigger/lever to drain the supply line. If the
tool is not to be used for a period of time, first lubricate,
disconnect from air supply and store in a dry average
room temperature environment.
- If the tool is passed from one user to a new or
inexperienced user, make sure these instructions are
passed with the tool.
- Do not remove any manufacturer fitted safety devices
where fitted, i.e., wheel guards, safety trigger, speed
governors, etc.
- Wherever possible, secure workpiece with clamps, a
vise, etc. to make it rigid so it does not move during the
work operation. Keep good balance at all times. Do not
stretch or overreach.
- Try to match the tool to the work operation. Do not use
a tool that is too light or heavy for the work operation. If
in doubt, seek advice.
-In general terms, this tool is not suitable for
underwater use or use in explosive environments -
seek advice from manufacturer.
- Try to make sure that the work area is clear to enable
the work task to be performed safely. If practical and
possible, try to clear unnecessary obstructions before
starting work.
- Always use air hose and couplings with minimum
working pressure ratings at least 1 1/2 times the
maximum working pressure rating of the tool.
Foreseen Use Of The Tool - 5564A
This tool is designed to be used with flat, reinforced resin 3"
diameter maximum discs having a speed rated above 25,000 RPM.
The bore size of the disc is 3/8".
The tool should not be used with any other type of rating of abrasive
disc or wheel. It must never be used with saw blades or other cutting
devices.
Do not use the tool outside the design intent. Never modify the
tool for any other purpose, or for its use as a disc cutter, without
first seeking advice from the manufacturer or an authorized
representative.

Work Stations
The tool should only be used as a handheld, hand operated tool. It is
always recommended that the tool is used when standing on a solid
floor. It can be used in other positions, but before any such use, the
operator must be in a secure position having a firm grip and footing
and be aware of the extra safety precautions that must be observed
when using the cutter.
Putting Into Service
AirSupp/y
Use a clean lubricated air supply that will give a measured air
pressure at the tool of 90 p.s.i./6.2 bar when the tool is running
with the trigger/lever fully depressed. Use recommended hose size
and length. It is recommended that the tool is connected to the air
supply as shown in figure 1. Do not connect the tool to the air line
system without incorporating an easy to reach and operate air shut
off valve. The air supply should be lubricated. It is strongly
recommended that an air filter, regulator, lubricator (FRL) is used
as shown in Figure 1 as this will supply clean, lubricated air at the
correct pressure to the tool. Details of such equipment can be
obtained from your supplier. If such equipment is not used, then
the tool should be lubricated by shutting off the air supply to the
tool, depressurizing the line by pressing the trigger/lever on the
tool. Disconnect the air line and pour into the hose adaptor a
teaspoonful (5ml) of a suitable pneumatic motor lubricating oil
preferably incorporating a rust inhibitor. Reconnect tool to air
supply and run tool slowly for a few seconds to allow air to
circulate the oil. If tool is used frequently, lubricate on daily basis
and if tool starts to slow or lose power.
It is recommended that the air pressure at the tool while the tool is
running is 90 psi/6.2 bar.
Operating
The lever (12) is the on/off valve for the tool. Connect to a suitable air
supply and ensure that the air pressure, measured at the tool inlet
with the tool running, does not exceed 90 PSIG/6.2 bar. Select disc
type and ensure that the disc is not cracked or damaged and that the
speed rating of the disc is in excess of 25,000 RPM. Using only the
spacer (30) supplied with the tool, fit the disc and tighten wheel screw
(31) while holding nut (28). Do not over tighten as this could crack
the disc. Ensure that wheel cover (27) is in place. When first starting
the tool with a new or changed disc, the tool should first be started in
a protected area, i.e. such as under a heavy bench, and run for a
minimum time of one minute. This will provide protection if the wheel
should break because a fault was not detected.
Always use eye protection and wear protective gloves. Remember
that the cutting process will generate heat and that cut parts,
particularly small items, can get very hot and burn fingers if touched.
Allow cut parts to cool.
The tool and the work process may create a noise level such that
the use of ear protectors is advised. The cutting process will create
dust and the use breathing masks is recommended. Check that the
material being worked will not cause harmful dust or fumes. If this is
so, then spectat breathing masks may be required. Seek advice
before starting work. The cutting process will create sparks. Ensure
that these do not create a hazard to any person, object or process
and are not directed near any flammable materials or fluids. Do not
use the cutter in explosive environments.
Do not apply excessive loads to the tool as this will reduce the
efficiency of the disc. Apply light loads to allow the wheel to cut. Try
always to keep the disc square to the cut. Do not apply side loads or
grind on the side of the disc. Handle the cutter with care. If the cutter
is dropped, carefully examine the disc for damage and replace if
necessary. Start the tool as if for the first time of fitting a disc, i.e.
under a bench. Make sure the object to be ground is in a firm fixed
position.
