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
The tool should only be usedas a handheld handoperatedtool.It isalwaysrecommendedthat the tool is used whenstanding on the solid floor. It can be used in other positionsbut before any such use,theoperator must be in a secureposition having a firm grip and footing and be aware of theextra safety precautions thatmust be observed when using Grinding Machines.

pour into the intake bushing a teaspoonful (5ml) of a suitablepneumatic 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.
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 diameterof the colletmounted inthe grinder. There are fourstandardsizes ofcollet available forusewiththisgrinder, i.e.
1) - 1/4"Dia(0.250ins) (6.35mm)
2) - 6mm(0.236ins)
3) - 1/8"(0.125ins) (3.175mm)
4) - 3mm(0.118ins)Never tryto force a 1/4" diametershank intoa 6mmcollet or a 1/8" diameter shank into a 3mm collet. Nevertry to close a 1/4" diametercolletto securea 6mmshankor a 1/8"diametercollet to securea 3mmdiametershank.Alwaysmatchcorrectlythe shank size to the collet size. If uncertain, have partsmeasuredby a competent person.Pushthe shank asfar aspossibleintothecollet andtightenthecollet nut using the spanners provided on the collet nut and output spindle.Theshank ofthe mounted point may be pulledforward from the maximum insertion length butalways ensurea minimumgrippinglength of not less than10mm- See Figure 2.Be aware thattheallowedrunningspeed of the mountedpoint is lowered because of anincrease in the lengthof theshank between the end of the collet and thebody of the mountedpoint. Thisdistance is showninDiagram 2 as "LO"and is calledthe overhang. The information with respect to mounted point size, permissiblerunning speedand reduction in runningspeed duetoanincrease in overhang isavailable fromthe supplierofthe mountedpoint.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 thatthe material being worked will not cause harmfuldust or fumes.If this is so then specialbreathing masks may berequired.

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 bereduced byrotatingairregulator (41) . When makingspeed checksalwaysrotatethe air regulator to the positionto givethehighestmaximum speed.
Dismantling & AssemblyInstructions
Disconnectfrom airsupply.Removecolletnut (25) andcollet (24). Unscrew coupling nut (14)and removeextendedfrontendassemblycomplete.To dismantle extended front endassembly, couplingnut (26)may be unscrewedfrom extension housing (23)[left hand thread].Pull outmotorassembly.
Gripthe motor assembly by handor in a softjawviceand tap therear endof the rotor (15) through therearend plate (14)and bearing (13). Taprearend bearing(13) out of rear end plate(14). Remove

4 off rotor blades(16) and removecylinder(18). Pins(17)may beremoved
from cylinder (18). The rotor (18) can thenbe tapped through front end bearing (20), front end plate(19) and spacer(12). Frontend bearing (20)can betapped outof front end plate (19).Clean and examine parts for wear and replace only withmanufacturer supplied parts. Ensurethatthe faces of end plates(14) and(19) thatabut cylinder(18)areflatandfreefromburrs. Lap on a flat, veryfinegrade of abrasive paper if necessary. Check O-Ringsfor cutsand wear.
Reassembly
Lightly coatparts with oil, pack bearings witha lithium or molybdenum basedgeneralpurposegreaseand reassembleinthe reverseorder.Note:- whenreassembling the motor assembly,ensurethatpins(17) incylinder(18) are correctlylocatedin the holesin front end plate (19)and rear end plate (14). Also ensure that pin (17)located in the outsidediameterof front end plate (19) locates inthe slot inmotor housing (33).Check the collet assembly, thefunction of the safety lever and thatthefreespeed iscorrectbeforereturning to service.Ensurethat the air regulator isinthe maximumopenposition beforemakinga speedcheck.
