4 SAFETY WARNINGS

Basic safety measures must be followed when using air tools to eliminate the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Be sure to read and follow the notices within these operating instructions prior to using the equipment and store them in a safe location. The manufacturer assumes no liability for damages or personal injury resulting from failure to follow these operating instructions. The hazards listed are foreseeable for general use of handheld air sanders and saws. However, the user (or their employer) must also assess specific risks which may arise from its different types of applications.  DANGER! Keep hands and other extremities away from the sawing, cutting or

sanding area of the multi-tool. Cuts may otherwise occur.

 Only use the equipment in areas of application for which it was designed!  Never use hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide or other bottled gasses to power this

tool as doing so may result in an explosion and thus may cause severe injuries.

 EXPLOSION HAZARD! Never use petrol or other flammable liquids to clean the air

tool! Sparks could ignite residual vapours inside the compressed air equipment resulting in the compressed air equipment exploding. Do not use the tool in explosive environments with flammable liquids, gasses or dust. Never work on materials which are or could potentially be highly flammable or explosive.

 Always wear personal protective equipment and safety glasses. Wearing personal

protective equipment such as dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, hard hat or ear protectors, depending on the type of air tool and its application, reduces the risk of injuries.

 BE CAREFUL WHEN PUTTING DOWN THE EQUIPMENT! Always put down the

device so it does not rest on the trigger. This could potentially result in inadvertent activation of the tool, which in turn could result in hazards.

 DANGER! Avoid contact with live lines. This equipment is not insulated against

electric shock.

 Torn or deformed sheets must not be used.  Check whether the sanding sheets are fixed correctly.  Ensure that no braking of the disk occurs due to lateral counter-pressure.  Ensure that, if any sparks are produced, they are dispersed in such a way that they

pose no danger.

 Check whether the maximum operational speed of the machine tool is the same or

greater than the given speed of the appliance.

 Only use lubricants recommended by the manufacturer.  Do not use the appliance if spare parts, which affect the safety of the user, are

defective.

 Do not modify this equipment in any way without the manufacturer‘s approval.  Disconnect the tool from the air supply after each use and when not in use.  Discontinue use if the tool leaks or is in need of repair.  Keep children and other persons away from the equipment during use. Distractions

can cause you to lose control of the equipment.

 Put down the trigger and equipment in the event of unexpected compressor failure.  Secure work pieces. Use clamps or a vice to secure the work piece. Holding the work

piece in your hand or pressing it against your body will not allow for safe use of the equipment.

Page 4

ATTENTION! An undersized compressed air system may minimize the efficiency of your equipment.

4.1 Risks due to projected parts

 If the work piece, one of the accessories or the tool itself breaks, parts may be

projected at great speed.

 Always wear impact-resistant eye protection when using the machine to grind and

cut. The level of required protection required should be assessed individually for each application.

 When working overhead, a safety helmet must be worn.  In this case, the risk to other people must also be assessed.  It must be ensured that the work piece is properly secured.

4.2 Hazards from entanglement

 Hazards from entanglement - there is the danger of suffocation, scalping or suffering

cuts, when loosely fitting clothing, jewellery, hair or gloves are not kept away from the machine and its accessories.

4.3 Operating hazards

 W hen using the machine, the operator‘s hands may be at risk, for example from

cutting, abrasion and heat. Wear suitable gloves to protect hands.

 The operator and maintenance personnel must be physically capable of managing

the size,weight and power of the machine.

 Torn or deformed blades must not be used!  Check that the saw blades are fixed or mounted correctly!

4.4 Hazards due to repetitive motions

 When using the grinding and cutting machine for work related tasks, the operator

may experience uncomfortable sensations in hands, arms and the area of the neck and shoulder or in other parts of the body. The operator must maintain a comfortable position whilst using this tool to grind and saw, thereby ensuring a secure grip and avoiding awkward positions or positions making it difficult to maintain balance. The operator should change his posture when working for longer, to help avoid discomfort and fatigue.

 If the operator experiences symptoms such as persistently feeling unwell, discomfort,

palpitations, pain, tingling, numbness, a burning sensation or stiffness, these warning signs should not be ignored. The user should (if applicable report these to the employer and) consult a qualified healthcare professional.

4.5 Risks associated with accessories

 Only use the sizes and types of accessories and consumables recommended by the

manufacturer of the grinding and cutting machine.

 Please avoid direct contact with the machine tool during and after use, as it could

have heated up or have sharp edges.

4.6 Please follow the following instructions:

 Cutting discs or other tools for cutting (other than the saw blades provided in the

scope of delivery) may not be used with this machine.

POWAIR0805 EN

Page 5

 It must be checked that the maximum operating speed of the machine tool is higher

than the nominal speed of the machine.

 It must be checked that the hook&loop abrasive sheets can be affixed concentrically

to the mounting plate.

4.7 Hazards in the work environment

 Slipping, tripping and falling are the main causes of injuries at the workplace. Keep in

mind that surfaces may have become slippery during machine use, and remember tripping hazards caused by the air or hydraulic hose.

 Proceed with caution in unfamiliar surroundings. There may be hidden dangers due

to electrical cables or other supply lines.

 This machine for grinding and sawing is not suitable for use in explosive

environments and is not insulated against contact with electrical power sources. Therefore, it may not come into contact with electrical power sources!

 Verify that there are no electrical lines, gas lines, etc. that may result in a hazard in

the event of them becoming damaged during machine use.

5 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PNEUMATIC MACHINERY

 Compressed air can result in serious injuries.  Always close the air supply, release pressure from the hose, and disconnect the

machine from the compressed air supply, when the machine is not in use, before switching accessories or when performing repairs.

 Never aim the air flow at yourself or others.  Hoses flapping about can result in serious injuries. Therefore always inspect hoses

and their fasteners for damage and a secure fit.

 If using universal swivel couplings (coupling discs) always use locking pins and use

whip-check hose safety cables for protection in the event the connection between the hose and the machine or in between hoses fails.

 Ensure not to exceed the maximum pressure specified on the machine.  Never carry pneumatic tools by the hose.

6 AIR SUPPLY

 Ensure air valve (or trigger) is in the “off” position before connecting to the air supply.  Item will require air pressure of 90psi, and air flow according to specification.  Drain the air tank daily.  Clean air inlet filter weekly.  Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over

8 meters). The hose diameter should be 3/8” I.D.

 Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make

certain that all connections are secure.

7 LUBRICATION

An automatic in-line filter-regulator-lubricator is recommended (Fig 1) as it increases tool life and keeps the tool in sustained operation. The in-line lubricator should be regularly checked and filled with air tool oil. Proper adjustment of the in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet of paper next to the exhaust ports and holding the throttle open approximately 30 seconds. The lubricator is properly set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil should be avoided.

POWAIR0805 EN

Page 6

In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.), it 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.  It is most important that the tool be properly lubricated by keeping the air line

lubricator filled and correctly adjusted. Without proper lubrication the tool will not work properly and parts will wear prematurely.

 Use the proper lubricant in the air line lubricator. The lubricator should be of low air

flow or changing air flow type, and should be kept filled to the correct level. Use only recommended lubricants, specially made for pneumatic applications. Substitutes may harm the rubber compounds in the tools, O-rings and other rubber parts.

8 IMPORTANT!!!

If no filter/ pressure regulator/ lubricator is installed in the compressed air system, then pneumatic tools must be lubricated with 2 to 6 drops of oil at least once a day or after every two hours of use. This must be done directly along the male coupler or the screw (OIL) provided for the purpose on the side of the tool’s housing. Automatic lubrication is also possible using the supplied mini oiler that you have to install between the threaded connector of the tool and the male coupler. Make sure that the oiler is always filled with suitable oil. Fig. 1
