GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.

When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Use only authorized parts.

Use only the lubricants supplied with the tool and specified by the manufacturer.

AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
The air supply connection must not hold pressure when air supply is disconnected. If an

incorrect fitting is used, the tool can remain charged with air after disconnecting and
thus will be able to work even after the air line is disconnected, possibly causing injury.
Do not use any type of reactive gases, including, but not limited to, oxygen and

combustible gases, as a power source. Use filtered, lubricated, regulated compressed
air only. Use of a reactive gas instead of compressed air may cause the tool to explode
which will cause death or serious personal injury.
Use only a pressure-regulated compressed air source to limit the air pressure supplied

to the tool. The regulated pressure must not exceed 100 PSI. If the regulator fails, the
pressure delivered to the tool must not exceed 200 PSI. The tool could explode which
will cause death or serious personal injury.
Always disconnect air supply from tool:

a) before making adjustments.
b) when servicing the tool.
c) when clearing a jam.
d) when tool is not in use.
e) when moving to a different work area, as accidental actuation may occur, causing
injury.
Always inspect air tool prior to each use to:

a) ensure proper use of power source;
b) determine whether tool is in proper working order.
WARNING! Always ensure that the cutting area is clear of any flammable materials,
liquids or gases as the use of this tool will create sparks when cutting a wide variety of
materials!
Never use oxygen or any other combustible bottled gas as a power source as this could

cause explosion and serious personal injury.
Use the tool only in a well-ventilated area!

Disconnect tool from the air supply before changing discs, and before servicing any

type of machine.
WARNING! Always ensure that cutting wheels utilized with this tool are rated at or above
the speed rating of the tool (18,000 RPM). Failure to properly match the cut-off accessory
to the tool could result in serious personal injury.
WARNING! Use only abrasive type cut-off wheels with this air-powered cut-off tool. Never
use any other type of blade unless specified by the manufacturer.
Always keep your air tool clean and lubricated. Daily lubrication is essential to avoid

internal corrosion and possible failure.
Do not increase the air pressure above the manufacturer's recommended level. This

causes excessive wear on moving parts and possible failure.
In the interests of safety and possible damage to the tool or operator, always ensure

that the tool has stopped before putting it down after use.
Always ensure that the work piece is firmly secured leaving both hands free to control

the tool.
