Our goal is to produce tools that help you work safely and efficiently.
The most important safety device for this or any tool is YOU. Your care
and good judgement are the best protection against injury. All possible
hazards cannot be covered here, but we have tried to highlight some of
the important ones.
Only qualified and trained operators should install, adjust or use this
power tool.
This tool and its accessories must not be modified in any way.
Do not use this tool if it has been damaged.
If the rated speed, operating pressure or hazard warning signs on the
tool cease to be legible or become detached, replace without delay.
For Additional Safety Information Consult:
Other documents and information packed with this tool.
Your employer, union and / or trade association.

Air supply and connection hazards
Air under pressure can cause severe injury.
Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and disconnect tool
from air supply when not in use, before changing accessories or when
making repairs.
Never direct air at yourself or anyone else.
Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always check for damaged or
loose hoses and fittings.
Do not use quick disconnect couplings at tool. See instructions for cor-
rect set up.
Whenever universal twist couplings are used, lock pins must be installed.
Do not exceed maximum air pressure of 6.3 bar / 90 psig, or as stated
on tool nameplate.
Entanglement hazards
Keep away from rotating drive spindle and abrasive. Rotation may
continue for several seconds after the throttle has been released. Do not
lay the tool down until rotation has stopped.
Choking, scalping and / or lacerations can occur if loose clothing,
gloves, jewellery, neck ware and hair are not kept away from tool and
accessories.
Projectile hazards
Failure of the accessory or abrasive, or of the workpiece, can generate
high-velocity projectiles. Even small projectiles can injure eyes and
cause blindness.
Always wear impact-resistant eye and face protection when involved
with or near the operation, repair or maintenance of the tool or changing
accessories on the tool.
Be sure all others in the area are wearing impact-resistant eye and face
protection
Use barriers to protect others from wheel fragments and grinding sparks.
Daily measure the air tool speed with a tachometer to make sure that it is
not greater than the RPM marked on the grinding accessory.
Ensure that the abrasive is securely clamped to the die grinder using the
tools provided.
Ensure that the workpiece is securely fixed.
Accessory hazards
Always shut off air supply, relieve hose of air pressure and disconnect
tool from air supply when changing accessories.
Use only recommended sizes and types of accessories and consumables.
Do not use mounted wheels which are chipped or cracked, or may have
been dropped.
Never mount a grinding wheel, cut-off wheel or router cutter on a die
grinder. A grinding wheel that bursts can cause very serious injury or
death.
Never use an abrasive with a permitted speed lower than the air grinder
speed.
Correct mounting is necessary to prevent injury from broken mounted
wheels.
Ensure the shaft diameter of the accessory is correct for the size of collet.
Maximise the gripping length of the accessory: it must not be less
than 10mm (0.39 inch). Increased overhang of a mounted wheel
reduces its permitted speed – refer to manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions and ANSI B7.1.
Before grinding, test mounted wheel by briefly running tool at full throttle.
Be sure to use a barrier (such as under a heavy work table) to stop any
possible broken wheel parts. Stop immediately if vibration is excessive.
Operating hazards
Operators and maintenance personnel must be physically able to handle
the bulk, weight and power of the tool.
Hold the tool correctly: be ready to counteract normal or sudden move-
ments – have both hands available.
You can be cut or burned if you come into contact with the accessory,
grinding sparks or the work surface. Avoid contact and wear protective
equipment such as gloves, apron and helmet.
Do not use if vibration becomes excessive: check the accessory for
damage or incorrect mounting.
Ensure that sparks do not cause a hazard to people or materials.
There is a risk of electrostatic discharge if used on plastic and other non-
conductive materials.
Repetitive motion hazards
When using a power tool to perform work-related activities, the operator
might experience discomfort in the hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or
other parts of the body.
Adopt a comfortable posture whilst maintaining secure footing and avoid-
ing awkward or off-balance postures. Changing posture during extended
tasks can help avoid discomfort and fatigue.
Do not ignore symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort, pain,
throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation, or stiffness.
Stop using the tool, tell your employer and consult a physician.
Noise and vibration hazards
High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss and other prob-
lems such as tinnitus. Use hearing protection as recommended by your
employer or occupational health and safety regulations.
Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the nerves and
blood supply of the hands and arms. Wear warm clothing and keep your
hands warm and dry. If numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin
occurs, stop using tool, tell your employer and consult a physician.
Hold the tool in a light but safe grip because the risk from vibration is
generally greater when the grip force is higher. Where possible support
