Foreseen Use Of The Tool
This die grinder is primarily designed for use with bonded abrasive
mounted point grinding wheels. It may also be used with steel rotary
files and carbide burrs 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 that the shank size of the attachment to be driven
matches with the collet size fitted in the grinder and that the maximum
allowed running speed 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".
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 must be in a secure
position having a firm grip and
footing and be aware of the extra
safety precautions that must be
observed when using Grinding
Machines.
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 pour into the intake bushing a teaspoonful
(5ml) of a suitable pneumatic motor lubricating oil preferably
Page No 1
Page 2
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./7.0 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 four standard sizes of collet available
for use with this grinder, 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 try to force a 1/4" diameter shank into a 6mm collet or a 1/8"
diameter shank into a 3mm collet. Never try to close a 1/4" diameter
collet to secure a 6mm shank or a 1/8" diameter collet to secure a
3mm diameter 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 spanners 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 mounted
point is lowered because of an
increase 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 the grinder with a new wheel fitted, the grinder
should not be near other 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, remove from service immediately and correct fault 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 and 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 as for fitting a new wheel i.e. under 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
Figure 2. Gripping length of collet and chuck
supply line. Your supplier will advise of suitable equipment.
This grinder is fitted with a speed regulator and the speed may be
reduced by rotating air regulator (21) with a suitable screwdriver. When
making speed checks always rotate the air regulator to the position to
give the highest maximum speed.
