Tool use and care
a. Use clamps or another practical
way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against the body is unstable and is able to lead to loss of control.
b. Do not force the tool. Use the
correct tool for the application. The
correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which the tool is designed.
c. Do not use the tool if the valve
does not turn the tool on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
affects the tool’s operation. If dam­aged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. There is a risk of bursting if the tool is damaged.
h. Use only accessories that are
identied by the manufacturer for the specic tool model. Use of an
accessory not intended for use with
the specic tool model, increases the risk of injury to persons. Wheels and
other accessories running over rated
speed can y apart and result in a risk of injury to persons.
Service
a. Tool service must be performed
only by qualied repair personnel.
d. Disconnect the tool from the air
source before making any adjust­ments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool unintentionally. Turn off and detach the air supply, safely discharge any residual air pressure, and release the throttle and/or turn the switch to its off position before leaving the work area.
e. Store the tool, when it is idle, out
of reach of children and other un­trained persons. A tool is dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
f. Maintain the tool with care. Keep a
cutting tool sharp and clean. A prop­erly maintained tool, with sharp cut­ting edges reduces the risk of binding and is easier to control.
g. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that
b. When servicing a tool, use only
identical replacement parts. Use only authorized parts.
c. Use only the lubricants supplied
with the tool or specied by the
manufacturer.
Air source
a. Never connect to an air
source that is capable of exceeding 90 psi. Over
pressurizing the tool may
cause bursting, abnormal operation,
breakage of the tool or serious injury
to persons. Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at the rated pressure or within the rated pressure range as marked on the tool. Always verify prior to using the tool that the
air source has been adjusted to the
rated air pressure or within the rated air-pressure range.

WARNING – Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drill­ing, and other construction activities, contains chemicals known [to the State of California] to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and
cement or other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemi­cally treated lumber Your risk from these exposures var­ies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to lter out microscopic
particles. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
WARNING – The brass components of this product contain lead, a chemi­cal known to the State of California to cause birth defects (or other repro-

this tool. If you feel any medical or physical symptoms related to vibra­tion (such as tingling, numbness, and
white or blue ngers), seek medical
advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nico­tine reduces the blood supply to the
hands and ngers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between dif­ferent processes.
5. Install an in-line shutoff valve to allow immediate control over the air supply in an emergency, even if a hose is ruptured.
6. Do not lay the tool down until it has come to a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the surface and pull the tool out of your control.
Vibration Precautions
This tool vibrates during use. Re-
peated or long-term exposure to vibra­tion may cause temporary or permanent
physical injury, particularly to the hands,
arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of
vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regu­larly or for an extended period should
rst be examined by a doctor and
then have regular medical check­ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, ner­vous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use
5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.

Recommended Air Line Components
1.
Incorporate an in-line oiler, shut-off valve, regulator with pressure gauge,
and lter for best service, as shown in
the diagram above. An in-line shut­off valve is an important safety device because it controls the air supply even if the air hose is rup­tured.
Note: If an automatic oiler system is not
used, add a few drops of Pneumatic Tool Oil to the airline connection be­fore operation. Add a few more drops after each hour of continual use.
2. Attach an air hose to the compres­sor’s air outlet. Connect the air hose to the air inlet of the tool. Other com-

ponents, such as a connector and quick coupler, will make operation
more efcient, but are not required.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS
INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION: Do not install a female quick coupler on the tool. Such a coupler
contains an air valve that will allow the air tool to retain pressure and operate accidentally after the air supply is disconnected.
Note: Air ow, and therefore tool perfor-
mance, can be hindered by under­sized air supply components.
3. The air hose must be long enough to reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working.
9. If the tool will not be used at this time, turn off and detach the air sup­ply, safely discharge any residual air pressure, and release the throttle and/or turn the switch to its off posi­tion to prevent accidental operation.
Note: Residual air pressure should not be
present after the tool is disconnected from the air supply. However, it is a good safety measure to attempt to discharge the tool in a safe fashion after disconnecting to ensure that the tool is disconnected and un-powered.
4. Make sure the tool’s throttle or switch is in the off position; refer to Opera­tion section for description of con­trols.
5. Close the in-line safety valve be­tween the compressor and the tool.
6. Turn on the air compressor according to the manufacturer’s directions and allow it to build up pressure until it cycles off.
7. Adjust the air compressor’s output regulator so that the air output is enough to properly power the tool, but the output will not exceed the tool’s maximum air pressure at any
time. Adjust the pressure gradually,
while checking the air output gauge to set the right pressure range.
8. Inspect the air connections for leaks. Repair any leaks found.

Work Piece and Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit. The work area must not allow access by children or pets to
prevent injury and distraction.
2. Route the air hose along a safe route to reach the work area without creat­ing a tripping hazard or exposing the air hose to possible damage. The air hose must be long enough to reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working.
3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps (not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be hazardous ob-
jects (such as utility lines or foreign objects) nearby that will present a
hazard while working.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Do not adjust or tamper with any control or component in a
way not specically explained
within this manual. Improper adjustment can result in tool failure or other serious hazards.
1. To install a bit (with 1/8” shank), loosen the Clamping Nut (22), slide the bit’s shank through the Clamping Nut and through the 1/8” Collet (21).
General Operating Instructions
1. If an automatic oiler is not used, add a few drops of Pneumatic Tool Oil to the air-line connection before use. Add a few more drops after each hour of continual use.
2. Have the desired bit installed in the end of the grinder and secured.
3. Wear ANSI-approved safety glasses.
4. Ensure that the Control Ring (3) is in the “OFF” position. Plug the Male Coupler Plug to an air compressor.

Page 11
5. Turn the Control Ring (3) slowly to the “ON” position to begin grinding or cutting. The more you turn the knob, the higher the RPM.
6. If the tool requires more force to accomplish the task, verify that the
tool receives sufcient, unobstructed airow (CFM) and increase the pres-
sure (PSI) output of the regulator up to the maximum air pressure rating of this tool.
CAUTION! TO PREVENT TOOL AND ACCESSORY FAILURE, RE­SULTING IN INJURY: Do not exceed the tool’s maximum air pressure rating.
If the tool still does not have sufcient
force at maximum air pressure and
sufcient airow, then a larger tool
may be required.
7. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool, detach the air supply, safely discharge any residual air pressure in the tool. Clean external surfaces of the tool with clean, dry cloth, and apply a thin coat of tool oil. Then store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
