IMPORTANT: To operate correctly, this tool requires airflow that is at least 5 cubic feet per
minute (CFM) at 90 pounds per square inch (PSI). Check the specifications of your air compressor
to be sure that it can support both the minimum CFM and PSI required. An air hose may cause
up to 15 PSI drop in pressure, so you may need to set the output higher to maintain the required
pressure at the tool.

RISK OF EYE OR HEAD INJURY
WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
This particular air powered tool can be
capable of propelling materials such as
fasteners, metal chips, sawdust, and
other debris at high speed which could
result in serious injury.
Compressed air can be hazardous and
propel objects and other particles that
can cause injury to soft tissue areas of
the body, such as eyes and ears.
Particles or objects propelled by the
stream can cause injury.
Tool attachments can become loose
or break and fly apart propelling articles
at the operator and others in the work
area.
Always wear ANSI approved Z87.1
safety glasses with side shields.
Never leave operating tool unattended.
Disconnect air hose when tool is not in
use, and place in a safe area.
For additional protection, use an
approved face shield in addition to
safety glasses.

securely fastened and properly
assembled before use.
WARNING
Always use the tool at a safe distance
from others in the work area and ensure
the work area is safe at all times.
WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
WARNING
An air cut off tool is capable of
generating sparks which can result
in ignition of flammable materials.
RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION
Never operate tools near flammable
substances such as gasoline, naphtha,
cleaning solvents, etc.

serious injury if operated in an improper
way, or used in a manner which is not
intended for the tool.
WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Air tool accessories such as impact
sockets that come into contact with
hidden electrical wiring could cause
electrocution or death.
Thoroughly investigate the work
piece/area for possible hidden wiring
before performing work.
Using air tools to attached electrical
wiring can result in electrical shock,
electrocution, or death.

alcohol.
Before changing accessories, when
making repairs, or when tool is not in
use, always first shut off air supply and
release/drain air pressure from hose.
Then disconnect tool from air supply or
hose and store in a safe location.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Loss of control of the tool can lead to
injury to self of others in the work area.
Poor quality, improper or damaged
tools and attachments can fly apart
during operation, propelling particles
through the work area causing serious
injury.
Improperly maintained tools and
accessories can cause serious injury.
There is a risk of bursting if the tool is
damaged.
Keep proper footing at all times. Do not
overreach, as slipping, tripping, and or
falling can be a major cause of serious
injury and or death. Be aware of
excess air hose and power plugs in the
working area or work surface.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from
oil/grease.
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing.
Use common sense. Do not operate
tool when you are tired.
Always use tools attachments rated for
the speed of the power tool.
Never use tools, which have been
dropped, impacted, or are damaged.
Use only impact grade sockets with
this tool.
Do not apply excessive force to the tool;
let the tool perform the work.
Maintain the tool and accessories
with care.
Keep tools clean properly oiled for best
and safest performance.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that affects the
tool's operation. If damaged, have the
tool serviced before using.
Never use a tool that is leaking air, has
missing or damaged parts, or requires
repairs.

7. Connect air supply hose to the male plug. Set
the working pressure at 90 PSI for best tool
performance. (See Figure 6)
NOTE Working pressure refers to the air line
pressure set to tool when the tool is under working
conditions.
Only use cutting wheels that have a RPM
rating equal or greater than the tool itself
and are compatible with the tool. Before
using tool, always make sure attachments
are properly tightened. If attachments are
not properly tightened, they can present a
serious hazard and may cause bodily injury
for the operator or anyone in or around the
work area. Always follow the attachment
manufacturer’s specifications for properly
attaching accessories to tool.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
An in-line oiler (not included) is recommended to be installed on air supply line. It will
help increase tool life and keep the tool properly lubricated. The in-line oiler should
be regularly checked and filled with air-tool oil as needed. To check if the in-line oiler
is properly lubricating the tool place a sheet of paper next to the tool’s exhaust ports
and holding the throttle open approximately 30 seconds. The in-line oiler is properly
set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil should be
avoided.
In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended period of
time, the tool should receive a generous amount of lubrication at that time. The tool
should be run for approximately 30 seconds to ensure oil has been evenly distributed
throughout the tool. The tool should be stored in a clean and dry environment.
Recommended lubricants: Use air-tool oil or any other high-grade turbine oil
containing moisture absorbent, rust inhibitors, metal wetting agents and an EP
(extreme pressure) additive.
Always remove tool from air supply before performing any maintenance on tool.
STORING
Air cut off tool must be well cleaned and lightly lubricated before storing.
Store air cut off tool in a dry and safe place out of reach of children.

1. Flush the tool with air-tool oil or gum
solvent.
2. Lubricate the tool.
3. a. Adjust the regulator on the tool to
maximum setting.
b. Adjust the compressor regulator to tool
maximum of 90 PSI.
4. Tighten and seal hose fittings if leaks are
found. Use sealing tape.
5. a. Be sure the hose is the proper size.
Long hose or tools using large volumes
of air may require a hose with an I.D. of
1/2 in. or larger depending on the total
length of the hoses.
b. Do not use a multiple number of hoses
connected together with quick-connect
fittings. This causes additional pressure
drops and reduces the tool power.
Directly connect the hoses together.
6. Replace rotor blade.
7. Water in tank; drain tank. (See air
compressor manual). Oil tool and run
until no water is evident. Oil tool again
and run 1-2 seconds.
