This die grinder is primarily designed for use with bonded abrasivemounted point grindingwheels. It may also be used with steel rotary files and carbide burrs provided their speed ratingmatchesthe speed of the grinder.This tool should not be fitted with cuttingoff wheels, sawblades,drill bits, etc.If thereis anydoubt aboutthe correct use of this product contactyoursupplier for advice.Alsomakesure that theshank size of the attachment to bedrivenmatches withthe collet sizefittedinthe grinder andthatthe maximum allowedrunningspeed ofthe attachmentexceedsthatmarked onthe grinder.There arespecial rules governing the use of bonded abrasivemounted point grinding wheels - for details see section"Operating".

Putting Into Service
AirSupply
Use a clean lubricated air supply that will give a measuredair pressure at thetool of 90p.s.i./6.3barwhen the tool isrunning withthelever/triggerfullydepressed.Userecommendedhosesizeand length.It isrecommendedthatthe toolis connectedto the air supplyasshowninfigure1.Do notconnect thetoolto the air linesystem without incorporating an easyto reach and operateair shut off valve.Theairsupplyshould be lubricated.It is strongly recommendedthat anair filter, regulator, lubricator (FRL) is used as shown in Figure 1 asthis will supply clean,lubricatedairat the correctpressuretothe tool.Details of suchequipmentcan be obtained from yoursupplier. If suchequipment is not used then the tool shouldbe lubricated byshuttingoff the airsupply to the tool, depressurising theline by pressing the lever/triggeronthe tool. Disconnecttheair line and

Work Stations
Thetoolshould onlybe usedasa handheldhandoperatedtool. It is always recommendedthat the toolisused when standing onthe solid floor. It canbe used in other positions but before any such use, theoperator must be in a secureposition having a firm grip and footing and be awareof the extra safety precautions that must be observedwhen usingGrinding Machines.

pour into the intake bushing a teaspoonful (5ml) of a suitable
k
pneumatic motor lubricating oil preferably incorporating a rust inhibitor. Reconnect toolto air supply andrun tool slowly for afew seconds to allow air to circulate the oil. If tool is used frequently lubricate on daily basis and if tool starts to slowor losepower. It isrecommended thatthe air pressure at the tool whilst the toolisrunningis 90p.s.i./6.3bar.The tool canrun at lowerand higher pressures with the maximum permitted working air pressure of 100 p.s.i./7.0bar. If tool is used daily then every other day grease gears (27) & (32) via greaseplug(40).
Operating
Select a suitablemounted point that has a free runningspeedhigher thanthe maximum runningspeed marked on the tool. Make sure that the diameter of the shank exactly matches the diameter of thecollet mounted in the grinder. There are three standardsizes ofcollet available forusewiththisgrinder, i.e.
1) - 1/4"Dia(0.250ins) (6.35mm)
2) - 6mm(0.236ins)
3) - 1/8"(0.125ins) (3.175mm)Never try to force a 1/4" diameter shank intoa 6mm collet.Nevertry to close a 1/4" diametercollet to secure a6mmshank.Alwaysmatchcorrectlytheshanksizetothecollet size. If uncertain, haveparts measuredby a competentperson.Push the shank as far as possibleinto the collet and tighten the colletnut using the spanners provided on the collet nutandoutput spindle.Theshank of the mountedpointmay be pulled forward from the maximum insertion length but always ensure a minimum gripping length of not less than 10mm - See Figure 2.Be awarethat the allowedrunning speed of the mountedpointislowered becauseof anincreaseinthe length oftheshankbetweentheendofthecolletand the bodyof the mounted point. This distanceisshown inDiagram 2 as"LO"and iscalled the overhang.The information withrespect to mounted point size, permissible running speed andreduction inrunning speeddue toanincreaseinoverhang isavailablefromthesupplier of the mounted point.If the increase in overhang for access reasons takes thepermissible running speed of the mountedpoint belowthefreerunningspeedof the grinder selecta smallerdiametermountedpoint.Thefitting of the mounted point should be done by a trained operator.Whenfirst starting the grinder witha new wheel fitted,thegrinder should not be near other persons and be held in aprotected area, i.e. under a bench and run for a few seconds. This will protect personnel from possibleeffectsof damageto the mounted point beforeit was fitted to thegrinder i.e.wheelbreakage.Always useeyeprotection and wear protectivegloves if therearesharp edgesin the work area. The tool and the grinding process can create a noise level such that the use of earprotectorsis advised.If the grinding process creates a dust then use a suitablebreathingmask. Check that the material being workedwillnot causeharmfuldust or fumes.If thisisso then special breathing masksmay be required.If the grinder vibrateswhenfirst fittinga mountedpointor during operation, remove from service immediately and correct fault before continuingto use.

Donot apply excessivepressureas this willreduce the cuttingefficiency and can bend the shank of themounted pointcausing vibration and the possibility of breakage. Apply light loads to allow the wheel to cut.Handlethe grinder withcare. If thegrinder isdropped,carefullycheck the mountedpoint for damage, i.e.cracks,chippingand start for the first timeas for fitting anew wheel i.e. under abench.Never exceed the maximum air pressure. If thereisthis possibilityalwaysuse thisgrinder witha pressurereducingvalve fitted in the supply line. Your supplier will advise of suitableequipment.Thisgrinder isfittedwitha speed regulator and the speedmay be reduced by rotating air regulator (41). When making speedchecksalwaysrotatethe air regulator to the positionto givethehighestmaximum speed.
Dismantling & AssemblyInstructions
Disconnecttoolfromair supply.Gripspindle(33) andunscrew collet nut (25) and pull out collet(24). With a suitable wrenchunscrew [left hand thread] clampnut(31) and pull outthe gear driveassembly. Removebearing (13), pulloff bevelgear (30) andkey (32) andseparatebearing (20) and spindle (33). Unscrewcap (26) and remove cap (26) andanglehousing (28). Unscrewlock(23) from motor housing
(45). Lock(26) may be removed from angle housing (28) by unscrewingit (lefthand thread). Pull out the motor assembly from motor housing (45)complete with

(14) tightlybyhand andtaptheend of the rotor (15) to drive the rotorthrough the rear plate (14) and bearing (13)assembly. Removecylinder (18) noting itslocationtorearplate (14) andfront plate (19) for reassembly. Remove4 off rotor blades(16)from rotor (15). Grip the rotor (15)in a vicefitted withsoftjawsand unscrewpiniongear (22) from the rotor. The rotor (15) may be pulled or tapped clear of rotor spacer(12), front endplate (19), bearing (20). Pins(17) and(38) may be pulled out offront end plate (19) if replacements arerequired. Bearing(13) may be tapped outofrearplate (14).
Reassembly
Clean andexamine parts for wearand replace any partsonlywith those supplied by the manufacturer or authorised distributor. Ensurethatthefacesof endplates(14) and (19) thatabutcylinder (18) are flat and free from burrsand surface marking. If necessary lap on aflat very fine grade of abrasivepaper. Lightlycoatallparts insuitable pneumatic tool lubricating oil, pack bearings and gears with a lithium or molybdenumbased general purpose grease and assemble in the reverseorder.Note:- when reassemblingthe motor assembly ensurethatthepins(17) inend plates(19) and (14) locateinthe narrowgrooveinthe outer diameterofcylinder (18). When assembling the complete motor and pinion assembly into the motor housing (45) ensurethatthe steelball (38) located inthe side of front end plate (19) locates in the slot in the front end of motor housing (45).
