DANGER
① Always install the Anti-Rotation Bar to the Air Turbine Spindle when installing this
spindle into the main spindle of the milling machine or jig boring machine. If the Anti-
Rotation Bar is not mounted to the Air Turbine Spindle, the supply air / oil hose will
become twisted and tangled, causing serious bodily harm and damage.
② Installation and operation the Air Turbine Spindle should be performed by a person
with experience with milling machines, jig boring machines, or special purpose
machines as well as the installation and plumbing of compressed air.
WARNING
① The Air Turbine Spindle is not a hand tool. It is designed to be used on milling
machines, jig boring machines or special purpose machines.
② Do not touch the grindstone while it is rotating. It is very dangerous.
③ Wear safety glasses, dust mask, and use a protective cover around the Air Turbine
Spindle whenever the Air Turbine Spindle is rotating.
④ Never handle or operate the Air Turbine Spindle until you have thoroughly read the
Operation Manuals and safe operating conditions have been confirmed.
1) To prevent injuries / damages, check the Air Turbine Spindle and grindstone for
proper installation, before operating the Air Turbine Spindle.
2) Before disconnecting the Air Turbine Spindle, always turn the control power off and
turn off the compressed air supply to the Air Line Kit. It is then safe to remove the
Air Turbine Spindle from the machine.
⑤ When installing a grindstone, tighten the collet correctly, then re-check the collet
and collet nut before starting rotation. Do not over-tighten the collet. This may cause
damage to the spindle.
⑥ Do not use bent, broken, chipped, out of round or sub-standard grindstones or shanks,
as this may cause them to vibrate, shatter or explode. Grindstones with fractures or a
bent shank will cause injury to the operator. When using a new grindstone, rotate it at
a low speed and increase speed gradually for safe operation.
⑦ Do not exceed the recommended maximum allowable speed of the grindstone. For
your safety, use speeds below the grindstone manufacturers maximum allowable
speed.
⑧ Do not apply excessive force. This may cause injury to the operator by slippage of the
shank or damage to the grindstone, causing a loss of concentricity and precision to
the Air Turbine Spindle.
CAUTION
① Do not drop or hit this Air Turbine Spindle, as shock can damage to the internal
components.
② Before use, carefully read " Air Line Kit Operation Manual " regarding the correct
connection, operation and cautions when using the Air Line Kit.
③ Be sure to clean the collet, collet nut and the inside of the spindle before installing a
grindstone. If ground particles or metal chips stick to the inside of spindle or the collet,
damage to the collet or spindle can occur due to the loss of precision.
