AIR TOOL
RECOIL HOSE
LEADER HOSE
• 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 that 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 (9)
Fitting a cutting disc
WARNING: Always disconnect the tool from the air supply before fitting or removing a
cutting disc.
1. Slot the Spanner (7) over the Spindle (3) so that it grips the two flat faces (see Fig. I).
The spindle should be held securely and not able to rotate
2. Use the Hex Key (6) to unscrew the Bolt & Flange (4)
3. Remove the disc if in place
4. Fit a new disc of correct size (see 'Specifications'), following the manufacturer's guidance
for direction of rotation
Note: Unless otherwise stated, the metal ring at the centre of the disc should face the
Spindle (3).
5. Refit the Bolt & Flange (4) in the correct orientation (Image A), ensuring it is not
deformed, burred or notched, and tighten using the spanner and hex key
WARNING: A damaged flange may cause irregular pressure on the disc, and may cause it
to break.
WARNING: DO NOT overtighten. The direction of rotation will prevent the bolt from becoming
loose.
6. Spin the Cutting Disc (5) by hand to check it is secure and correctly aligned

Adjusting the guard
Note: Inspect the guard before every use, and replace if damaged.
WARNING: This tool must NEVER be operated without the guard in place and correctly
positioned.
• Depending in the application and work angle, the position f the guard must be adjusted, to
always be located between the disc and the user:
1. Use the Hex Key (6) to loosen the guard clamping screw
2. Adjust guard position and re-tighten screw
WARNING: DO NOT overtighten. Overtightening may damage the guard.

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.
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 increase wear and tear on the machine.
WARNING: This is a cutting device only. DO NOT attempt to use it for sideways grinding, as
axial force will cause the cutting disc to shatter.
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 (1) and your fingers should
sit on the Speed Control Trigger (9)
2. Disengage the Safety Catch (8) and gently squeeze the trigger towards the handle
3. The Cutting 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 to be cut and gently engage the material
WARNING: When the disc begins to cut, 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, take note of the direction of the waste material being ejected.
It should be going 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.

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 only. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE NORMAL ENGINE OIL
• Failure to comply with the operating and maintenance instructions may invalidate the
guarantee
Storage
• Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children
Disposal
• As with other power tools, air tools should not be disposed of with household waste
• Air tools may contain traces of tool oil and other lubricants and so must be recycled
accordingly
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct way to dispose
of power tools
