invalidate the warranty.
Use in a suitable work area. Keep area free from unrelated materials and ensure that there is adequate lighting.
Before each use check abrasive disc for condition. If worn or damaged replace immediately.
Ensure that the speed rating (rpm) of the disc is the same as, or greater than, the speed rating of the grinder.
Ensure that there are no flammable or combustible materials near the work area.
WARNING! Always wear approved eye (or face) and hand protection when operating the grinder.
Use face, dust, or respiratory protection in accordance with COSHH regulations.
Depending on the task, grinder noise level may exceed 98dB in which case wear safety ear defenders.

Check moving parts alignment on a regular basis.
Ensure that the workpiece is secure before operating the grinder. Never hold a workpiece by hand.
Check the workpiece to ensure there are no protruding screws, bolts, nuts etc.
Avoid unintentional starting.
WARNING! Ensure correct air pressure is maintained and not exceeded. Recommended pressure 70-90psi
Keep air hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check air hose for wear before each use and ensure
that all connections are secure.
Prolonged exposure to vibration from this grinder poses a health risk. It is the owner’s responsibility to correctly
assess the potential hazard and issue guidelines for safe periods of use and offer suitable protective equipment.
DO NOT use the grinder for a task it is not designed to perform.
DO NOT operate grinder if any parts are damaged or missing as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.
WARNING! DO NOT grind any materials containing asbestos.
DO NOT carry the grinder by the hose, or yank the hose from the air supply.
DO NOT force, or apply heavy pressure to, the grinder, let the tool do the work.
DO NOT place air line attachments close to your face and do not point them at other people or animals.
DO NOT operate grinder when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
DO NOT use the grinder where there are flammable liquids, solids or gases, such as paint solvents and
including waste wiping or cleaning rags etc.
DO NOT carry the grinder with your finger on the power lever.
DO NOT direct air from the air line at yourself or others.
When not in use disconnect from air supply and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.
WARNING! The grinding process can produce streams of sparks which are a potential source of ignition especially
when grinding metal.
DO NOT use the grinder where there are flammable liquids, solids or gases.
DO NOT allow grinder sparks to make contact with the operator’s clothing or any other fabric such as cleaning rags.
Fabrics contaminated with inflammable materials such as petrol, oil, paint and solvents are a particular fire hazard.

1.2. LEAD PAINT WARNING!
Paint once contained lead as a traditional ingredient. Contact with the dust from the removal of such
paint is toxic and must therefore be avoided. The following action must be taken before using the
grinder on a surface that you suspect may contain lead paint.
1. User must determine potential hazard relating to age of paint to be removed (modern paints do
not have lead content).
2. DANGER! Keep all people and pets away from the working area. The following are particularly
vulnerable to the effects of lead paint dust: Pregnant women, babies and children.
3. We recommend personal protection by using the following safety items:
a) Paint Spray Respirator (Our ref SSP1699)
b) PE Coated Hooded Coverall (Our ref SSP265). c) Latex Gloves (Our ref SSP24).
4. Take adequate measures to contain the paint dust, flakes and scrapings.
5. Continue to wear safety equipment as in (3) above and thoroughly clean all areas when work is
complete. Ensure that paint waste is disposed of in sealed bags or containers according to local
regulations.

3. PREPARING GRINDER FOR USE
3.1. Air Supply - Recommended hook-up is shown in fig 1.
3.1.1. Ensure that the grinder air valve (or throttle) is in the "off" position before connecting to the air supply.
3.1.2. You will require an air pressure between 70-90psi, and an air flow according to the specification above.
3.1.3. Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi while operating the grinder.
Too high an air pressure and/or unclean air will cause excessive wear, and may be dangerous, causing
damage and/or personal injury.
3.1.4. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the grinder and invalidate your warranty.
3.1.5. Clean air inlet filter weekly.
3.1.6. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).
The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
3.1.7. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear, and make certain that all
connections are secure.
3.2. Couplings
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the grinder. To prevent this,
connect a leader hose - Sealey model number AH2R or AH2R/38 - to the grinder. A quick change
coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose. See figs. 1 & 2 below.
