3
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.
Wheel guard usage
Always use the recommended wheel guard to reduce the risk of injury
from broken grinding wheel parts.
If a guard has withstood a wheel breakage do not continue to use it. It
may be damaged.
Position the guard between the grinding wheel and the operator.
Use barriers to protect others from wheel fragments and grinding
sparks.
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.
Even small projectiles can injure eyes and cause blindness.
A grinding wheel that bursts can cause very serious injury or death.
Daily measure the air grinder speed with a tachometer to make sure
that it is not greater than the RPM marked on the grinding wheel.
Never use a grinding wheel marked with a speed lower than the air
grinder speed.
Ensure that the abrasive is securely clamped to the grinder using the
tools provided.
Flanges must be free from burrs and cracks and have flat clamping
surfaces. Spindles and spindle threads must not be damaged or worn.
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 abrasives.
Do not use chipped or cracked wheels, or wheels which may have been
dropped.
Correct grinding wheel mounting is necessary to prevent injury from
broken wheels.
Avoid mismatch between UNC and metric threads.
Grinding wheels should be a free fit on the spindle to prevent stress at
the hole. Do not use reducing bushes to fit large hole grinding wheels.
Use only wheel 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.
If several flanges are supplied to fit different sizes and types of abrasive,
always fit the correct flange(s) for the abrasive being used.
When mounting cups, cones or plugs with threaded holes, the spindle
end must not contact the bottom of the hole as it will stress the abrasive.
Tighten the wheel on the spindle to prevent spin off when the air grinder
is turned off.
Before grinding, test grinding 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.
Avoid wheel jamming when cutting-off. Support the workpiece on both
sides of the cut line to prevent the wheel becoming trapped. If jamming
occurs, release the throttle and ease the wheel free. Check the wheel is
undamaged and properly secured before continuing.
Never use cutting-off wheels for side grinding.
Grinding sparks can ignite clothing and cause severe burns. Ensure
sparks do not land on clothing. Wear fire-retardant clothing and have a
bucket of water nearby.
