Foreseen Use of Tool

This right angle grinder is designed to be used with reinforced resin
bonded depressed centre grinding wheels that have a permitted
rotational speed in excess of 18,000 RPM.
The tool is designed to be used for light grinding and dressing of welds,
etc. but not for cutting off. The grinder must never be used if a wheel
guard (disc cover) item (43) is not fitted.

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 sander.

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

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. The tool can run at lower and higher
pressures with the maximum permitted working air pressure of 100
p.s.i./7 bar.
