PERSONAL SAFETY
1.Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a
pneumatic tool. Do not use a pneumatic tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating pneumatic tools may
result in serious personal injury.
2.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
3.Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the trigger is off before connecting to the air supply.
Carrying pneumatic tools with your finger on the trigger, or connecting pneumatic tools to
the air supply with the trigger on, invites accidents.
4.Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning on the tool. A wrench or a key
that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
5.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
6.Use safety equipment. Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses underneath a full
face shield, and hearing protection.
USE AND CARE
1.Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand is unstable and may lead to loss of control. Only work
on a workpiece that is properly secured.
2.Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
3.Do not use the power tool if the trigger does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the trigger is dangerous and must be replaced.
4.Disconnect the air hose from the tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
5.Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6.Maintain tools with care. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools "Do not use"
until repaired.
7.Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakages of parts, damaged air
hose (not included), and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
8.Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on
another tool.
SERVICE
1.Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
2.When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
"Inspection, Maintenance and Cleaning" section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1.To avoid accidental injury, always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses, a full face shield,
and hearing protection when operating the Die Grinder.
2.Use clean, dry, regulated compressed air at 90 PSI. Do not exceed the recommended
90 PSI. Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases, or any other bottled gas
as a power source for this tool.
3.When connecting to the air supply: Prior to each use, if an automatic oiler is not used,
add two drops of air tool oil (not included) into the air inlet fitting of the Die Grinder.

4.Always disconnect the Die Grinder from its compressed air supply source, and squeeze
the trigger to release all compressed air in the tool before performing any maintenance or
service.
5.The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this manual cannot cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur. The operator must understand that
common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must
be supplied by the operator.
ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TO ATTACH A QUICK CONNECTOR
WARNING!
Prior to performing any assembly and/or adjustment procedures,
make sure the air supply hose (not included) is disconnected from the Die Grinder.
1.Prior to use, the Die Grinder requires the attachment of a quick-connector into its air
inlet. To do so, wrap approximately 3in. of pipe thread sealer tape (not included) around
the male threads of a quick-connector. Then, firmly tighten the quick-connector into the
air inlet.
TO OPERATE AS A 1/4IN. DIE GRINDER:
1.Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses, a full face shield, and hearing
protection when operating the tool.
2.Use the two wrenches provided to loosen the collet nut.
3.Insert the 1/4in. diameter shank of a grinding drum (not included) fully into the collet.
Then, firmly re-tighten the collet nut to lock both the collet and grinding drum in place.
4.Connect the air supply hose to the quick-connector on the Die Grinder. Turn on the air
compressor, and set its regulator to the recommended 90 PSI for the Die Grinder.
5.IMPORTANT! Grip the appliance firmly with BOTH hands.
6.Trip the safety with your finger. Then slowly apply hand pressure to the trigger until the
desired speed is obtained. NOTE: The tool always turns the Grinding Drum/Drill
Chuck clockwise. (See fig. 2)
