Foreseen Use Of The Tool
This pencil die grinder is primarily designed for use with bonded
abrasive mounted point grinding wheels. It may also be used
with ste el rotary files and carbide bu rrs provided their speed
rating matches the speed of the grinder.
This tool should not be fitted with cutting off wheels, saw
blades, drill bits, etc. If there is any doubt about the correct use
of this product contact your supplier for advice.
Also make sure th at the shank s ize of the a ttachment to be
driven matches with the collet size fitted in the grinder and that
the maximum allowed running spee d of the attachment exceeds
that marked on the grinder.
There are special rules governing the use of bonded abrasive
mounted point grinding wheels - for details see section
"Operating".
Putting Into Service
Air Supply
Use a clean lubricated air supply that will give a measured air
pressure at the tool of 90 p.s.i./6.3 bar when the tool is running
with the lever/trigger fully depressed. Use recommended hose
size and length. It is recommended that the tool is connected to
the air supply as shown in figure 1. Do not connect the tool to
the air line system without incorporating an easy to reach and
operate air shut off valve. The air supply should be lubricated. It
is strongly recommended that an air filter, regulator, lubricator
(FRL) is used as shown in Figure 1 as this will supply clean ,
lubricated air at the correct pressure to the tool. Details of such
equipment can be obtained from your supplier. If such
equipment is not used then the tool should be lubricated by
shutting off the air supply to the tool, depressurising the line by
pressing the lever/trigger on the tool. Disconnect the air line and

Work Stations
The tool should only be used as
a handheld hand operated tool.
It is always recommended that
the tool is used when standing
on the solid floor. It can be
used in other positions but
before any such use, the
operator mu st be in a s ecure
position having a firm grip and
footing and be aw ar e of th e
extra sa fety pr ecauti ons that
must be observed when using
Grinding Machines.

pour into the in ta ke bu sh ing a 1/5 tea spoonfu l (1ml) of a
suitable pneumatic motor lubricating oil preferably incorporating
a rust inhibitor. Reconnect tool to air supply and run tool slowly
for a few seconds to allow air to circulate the oil. If tool is used
frequently lubricate on daily basis and if tool starts to slow or
lose power.
It is recommended that the air pressure at the tool whilst the
tool is running is 90 p.s.i./6.3 bar. The tool can run at lower and
higher pressures with the maximum permitted working air
pressure of 100 p.s.i./7 bar.
Operating
Select a suitable mounted point that has a free running speed
higher than the maximum running speed marked on the tool.
Make sure that the diameter of the shank exactly matches the
diameter of the collet mounted in the grinder. There are three
standard sizes of collet available for use with this grinder, i.e.
(1) - 1/8" (0.125ins)(3.175mm)
(2) - 1mm (0.039ins)
(3) - 3mm (0.118ins)
Never try to force a 1/8" diameter shank into a 3mm collet.
Never try to close a 1/8" diameter collet to secure a 3mm
shank. Always match correctly the shank size to the collet size.
If uncertain, have parts measured by a competent person.
Push the shank as far as
possible into the collet and
tighten the collet nut using
the spa nn e rs provided on
the collet nut and output
spindle.
The shank of the mounted
point may be pulled
forward from the maximum
insertion length but always
ensure a minimum gripping
length of not less than
10mm - See Figure 2.
Be aware that the
allowed running speed of
the moun ted point is lowered because of an incre ase in the
length of the shank between the end of the collet and the body
of the mounted point. This distance is shown in Diagram 2 as
"LO" and is called the overhang. The information with respect to
mounted point size, permissible running speed and reduction in
running speed due to an increase in overhang is available from
the supplier of the mounted point.
If the increase in overhang for access reasons takes the
permissible running speed of the mounted point below the free
running speed of the grinder select a smaller diameter mounted
point.
The fitting of the mounted point should be done by a trained
operator.
When first starting th e grinder w ith a ne w whee l fitted, the
grinder should not be near othe r persons and be held in a
protected area, i.e. under a bench and run for a few seconds.
This will protect personnel from possible effects of damage to
the mounted point before it was fitted to the grinder i.e. wheel
breakage.
Always use eye protection and wear protective gloves if there
are sharp edges in the work area. The tool and the grinding
process can create a noise level such that the use of ear
protectors is advised.
If the grinding process creates a dust then use a suitable
breathing mask.
Check that the material being worked will not cause harmful
dust or fumes. If this is so then special breathing masks may be
required.
If the grinder vibrates when first fitting a mounted point or during
operation, re move from service immediately and corre ct fault
Figure 2. Gripping length of collet and chuck
before continuing to use.
Do not apply excessive pressure as this will reduce the cutting
efficiency and can bend the shank of the mounted point causing
vibration an d the possibility of breakage. Apply light loads to
allow the wheel to cut.
Handle the grinder with care. If the grinder is dropped, carefully
check the mounted point for damage, i.e. cracks, chipping and
start for the first time a s for fitting a ne w wheel i.e. u nder a
bench.
Never exceed the maximum air pressure. If there is this
possibility always use this grinder with a pressure reducing valve
fitted in the supply line. Your supplier will a dvise of suitable
equipment.
Dismantling & Assembly Instructions
Disconnect tool from air supply.
First, using one of the spanner wrenches supplied, unscrew and
remove th e exte nded air supply hose along with the hose
protector. Then, using the appropriate sized hex wrench, loosen
the hex screw (22) one complete turn and slide off the rear end
holder (23). Slide off the sliding knob assembly, complete with
O-Rings (20), (21), air regulator and sliding knob (19). O-Rings
(20), (21) may then be removed from inside air regulator and by
pushing down on air regulator, it may be removed from sliding
knob (19). Unscrew air inlet assembly, consisting
of hose plug (17), pin (18) and intake steel tube
(16) from body (15). Pin (18) and intake steel tube
D = diameter of mounted point
T = length of mounted point
Lo = overhang
S = di ameter of shank
Lg = gripping length
(16) may then be removed from hose plug (17).
Using spanner wrenches, unscrew clamping
nut (1) and pull out collet (2). Unscrew collet
foundation (4) from body (15). The complete
motor assem bly can n ow be remove d from body (15). To
disassemble motor assembly, enter from intake plate (14) and
pull out pin (11). Remove ball bearing (13) and bearing plate (12)
from rotor (9). Then, rotor blades (10) and cylinder (8) can be
separated easily. Unscrew rotor (9) from chuck spindle (3) and
remove ball bearing (5), spacer (6) and lateral disc (7). Slide off
the comfort grip (27) from body (15) by hands.
Reassembly
Clean a ll parts and examin e for wear, replacing a ny worn or
damaged parts. Use only replacement parts obtained from the
manufacturer or an authorized distributor. Lightly coat all parts
with a suitable pneumatic tool lubricating oil and assemble tool
in reverse order.
