OPERATION
When using the grinder be careful not to exert excessive force. Too
much force could be hazardous if it causes the cutting tool spindle
to bend or break.
The burning of the work piece or excessive speed reduction
indicates too much force being applied. Changing to a free
cutting tool may be better for the desired rate of speed and stock
removal.
Avoid hazardous conditions by making sure there is sufficient force
on the spindle of the cutting tool by placing the spindle 7/16" or
more inside the collet.

• Place the tool on the work before starting the tool.
• Slipping, tripping and/or falling while operating air
tools can be a major cause of serious injury or
death. Be aware of excess hose left on the walking
or work surface.
• Keep body working stance balanced and firm. Do
not overreach when operating the tool.
• Anticipate and be alert for sudden changes in
motion during start up and operation of any power
tool.
• Do not carry tool by the hose. Protect the hose
from sharp objects and heat.
• Tool shaft may continue to rotate briefly after
throttle is released. Avoid direct contact with
accessories during and after use. Gloves will
reduce the risk of cuts or burns.
• Keep away from rotating end of tool. Do not
wear jewelry or loose clothing. Secure long hair.
Scalping can occur if hair is not kept away
from tool and accessories. Choking can occur
if neckwear is not kept away from tool and

• Correct grinding wheel mounting is necessary to
prevent injury from broken wheels. Do not use
chipped or cracked grinding wheels. Grinding
wheels should be a free fit on the spindle to

collars that come with the grinder for mounting the
grinding wheel. Flat washers or other adapters
may over stress the wheel. Always use heavy
paper blotter discs between the wheel collars and
the grinding wheel. Tighten the wheel on the
spindle to prevent spin off when the air grinder is
turned off.
• Do not lubricate tools with flammable or volatile
liquids such as kerosene, diesel or jet fuel.
