Foreseen Use of the Tool
This tool is designed to be used with flat reinforced resin 4 ins dia max. discs having a speed rated above 16,000 rpm. The bore size of the disc is 3/8 ins. The tool should not be used with any other type or rating of abrasive disc or wheel. It must never be used with saw blades or other cutting devices. Do not use the tool outside the design intent. Never modify the tool for any other purpose, or for its use as a disc cutter without first seeking advice from the manufacturer or an authorised representative.
Work Stations
The tool should only be used as a hand held hand operated tool. It is always recommended that the tool is used when standing on a solid floor. It can be used in other positions but before any such use the operator must be in a secure position having a firm grip and footing and be aware of the safety rules to be obeyed when using the grinder.
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 trigger/lever 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 trigger on the tool. Disconnect the air line and pour into the intake bushing a teaspoonful (5ml) 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.

Operating
The lever (11) is the on/off valve for the tool. Connect to a suitable air supply and ensure that the air pressure, measured at the tool inlet, with the tool running does not exceed 90 psi (6.3 bar). Select disc and ensure that the disc is not cracked or damaged and that the speed rating of the disc is in excess of 16,000 rpm. Using only the wheel spacer (54) supplied with the tool, fit the disc and tighten wheel screw (55) while holding flange (51). Do not over tighten as this could crack the disc. Ensure wheel (63) is in place. When first starting the tool with a new or changed disc the tool should be first started in a protected area i.e. such as under a heavy bench and run for say a minimum time of one minute. This will provide protection if the wheel should break because a fault was not detected. Always use eye protection and wear protective gloves if there are sharp edges in the working area. Remember that the cutting process will generate heat and that cut parts, particularly small items can get very hot and burn fingers if touched. Allow cut parts to cool. The tool and the work process may create a noise level such that ear protectors should be worn. The cutting process will create dust and the use of breathing masks is recommended. Check that the material being cut will not cause harmful dust or fumes. If this is so then special breathing apparatus may be required. Seek advice before starting work. The cutting process will create sparks. Ensure that these do not create a hazard to any person, object or process and are not directed near any flammable materials or fluids. Do not use the cutter in explosive environments. Do not apply excessive loads to the tool as this will reduce the efficiency of the disc. Apply light loads and allow the wheel to cut. Try always to keep the disc square to the cut. Do not apply side loads or grind on the side of the disc. Handle the cutter with care. If the cutter is dropped carefully examine the disc for damage and replace if necessary. Start the tool as for the first time of fitting a disc, i.e. under a bench. Make sure that the object to be cut is in a firm fixed position.
Dismantling & Assembly Instructions
Disconnect tool from air supply. Grip connector pipe (29) and unscrew head (30). Grip head (30) in the vise and take off screw (55) and cutting wheel (63) flange (51) retainer ring (50) and washer (37). Undo 3 set screws (47 and pull off the cover seat (46). Unscrew clamp nut (45) and pull out the gear assembly (26, 42, 36 and 33) from the head (30). Grip connector pipe (29) and unscrew from the connector nut (24) take off clamp nut (25) decoration ring (23) and connector (22). Pull out the motor assembly from the motor housing (1) them take out the bearing (20) from the front end plate (19) and rotor bushing (12) then pull off the cylinder (18) and remove the 4 rotor blades (16) tap off the rear end plate (14) from the rotor (15) and take out the bearing (13) from the rear end plate (14). To remove the regulator first unscrew the air regulator (10) and take out the o-ring (9) and valve spring (8). To replace the valve o-rings (44, 43 and 7) first take out the valve shaft (5) them pull out the valve bushing (21). To replace the throttle lever (4) first take out spring pin (2).
Reassembly
Clean all parts and examine for wear and cracks, etc. and replace as necessary. Look in particular for wear and cuts on O-rings, wear on rotor blades and wear on bearings (26), (20), (33) and (30) . Make sure that the faces of end plate (19) and (14) that about cylinder (18) are flat and free from burrs. Lap on a flat fine grade of abrasive paper if necessary. Use only manufacturer or authorized distributor supplied spare parts. Lightly coat all parts with suitable pneumatic tool lubrication oil and reassemble in the reverse order. On completing assembly, ensure that all parts are locked tight and the spindle rotates and the lever throttle. Connect tool to suitable air supply and operate tool slowly for a few seconds and reset for operation required. Refer to section on Operation Instructions.
Safety Rules For A Cut Off tool
1) Read all the instructions before using this tool. All operators must be fully trained in its use and aware of these safety rules.
2) Do not exceed the maximum working air pressure.
3) Use personal safety equipment.
4) Use only compressed air at the recommended conditions.
5) If the tool appears to malfunction remove from use immediately and arrange for service and repair.
6) If the tool is used with a balancer or other support device ensure that it is fixed securely.
7) Always keep hands away from the working attachment fitted to the tool.
8) The tool is not electrically insulated. Never use the tool if there is any chance of it coming into contact with live electricity.
9) Always when using the tool adopt a firm footing and/or position and grip the tool firmly to be able to counteract any forces or reaction forces that may be generated whilst using the tool.
10) Use only correct spare parts. Do not improvise or make temporary repairs.
11) Do not lock, tape, wire, etc. the on/off valve in the run position. The trigger/lever etc. must always be free to return to the ‘off’ position when it is released.
12) Always shut off the air supply to the tool, and depress the trigger/lever etc. to exhaust air from the feed hose before fitting, adjusting or removing the working attachment.
13) Check hose and fittings regularly for wear. Replace if necessary. Do not carry the tool by its hose and ensure the hand is remote from the on/off control when carrying the tool with the air supply connected.
14) Take care against entanglement of moving parts of the tool with clothing, ties, hair, cleaning rags, etc. This will cause the body to be drawn towards the tool and can be very dangerous.
15) It is expected that users will adopt safe working practices and observe all relevant legal requirements when installing, using or maintaining the tool.
16) Do not install the tool unless an easily accessible and easily operable on/off valve is incorporated in the air supply.
17) Take care that the tool exhaust air does not cause a problem or blows on another person.
18) Never lay a tool down unless the working attachment has stopped moving.
19) A cutting wheel should only be fitted by a competent person trained to do so. The wheel must be of the correct size and speed rating. Never use tool with guard not fitted.
20) Check the speed of the tool at least once per week, if it is in regular use, with an accurate tachometer.
21) The tool must only be used with the cutting wheels as set out in section “Foreseen Use of the Tool” and shown on parts list. Never fit any other device.
22) Carry out the instructions as set out in “Putting into Service”.
23) Many countries have local or national rules re the use and fitting of cutting wheels. Make sure such rules are observed.
24) Use a barrier to prevent sparks causing a hazard to the operator, any other person or anything within the vicinity of the sparks.
25) If a wheel guard becomes damaged or has withstood a wheel breakage, the guard must be changed.
26) Do not use chipped or cracked cutting wheels.
27) Always wear impact resistant eye protection.
28) Use only washer (54) provided with the tool for locating and clamping the wheel. Never use substitutes. Use the paper blotter fixed to the wheel as this ensures even tightness when the wheel is secured.
29) Tighten the wheel plates sufficiently to prevent wheel spin off when the tool is turned off. Do not tighten excessively as this may crack the wheel.
30) The noise from the tool or the process noise of the cutting operation may be such that hearing protection should be worn.
31) Avoid inhaling dust from the cutting process. Wearing of a breathing mask is recommended. Cutting certain materials may mean that special breathing precautions are necessary. Seek advice before using the tool.
