adhered to when using this equipment.
WARNING!Disconnect from air supply before changing accessories or servicing.
Maintain the cut-off tool in good condition (use an authorised service agent).
Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will
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 cutting 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 cut off saw.
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 cut-off tool.
Use face, dust, or respiratory protection in accordance with COSHH regulations.
Depending on the task, the cut-off tool noise level may exceed 98dB in which case wear safety ear defenders.
Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery and contain and/or tie back long
hair.
Wear appropriate protective clothing and keep hands and body clear of working parts.
Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure that the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
Check moving parts alignment on a regular basis.
Ensure that the workpiece is secure before operating the air cut-off tool. 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 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 tool 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 cut-off tool for a task it is not designed to perform.
DO NOT operate cut-off tool 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 cut-off tool by the hose, or yank the hose from the air supply.
DO NOT force, or apply heavy pressure to, the cut-off tool, 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 cut-off tool when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
DO NOT use the cut-off tool where there are flammable liquids, solids or gases, such as paint solvents
and including waste wiping or cleaning rags etc.
DO NOT carry the cut-off tool 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 cutting process can produce streams of sparks which are a potential source of
DANGER OF FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
ignition especially when cutting metal.
DO NOT use the cut-off tool where there are flammable liquids, solids or gases.
DO NOT allow cut-off tool 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, grease,
paint and solvents are a particular fire hazard.
To reduce the risk of clothing catching fire the operator should wear wool or cotton outer garments
treated with a fire retardant in preference to man-made fibres.

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 cut-off tool.
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 CUT-OFF TOOL
3.1. Air Supply - Recommended hook-up is shown in fig 2.
3.1.1. Ensure that the cut-off tool 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 cut-off tool.
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 cut-off tool 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 cut-off tool. To
prevent this, connect a leader hose - Sealey model number AH2R or AH2R/38 - to the cut-off tool. A
quick change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose. See fig.1
and fig.2.
