Pneumatic Power Tools
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ttings
• Wheneveruniversaltwistcouplings(clawcouplings)areused,lockpinsshouldbeinstalledand
whipchecksafetycablesshouldbeusedtosafeguardagainstpossiblehose-to-toolorhose-to-
hose connection failure
• Do not exceed the maximum air pressure stated on the tool
• Never carry an air tool by the hose
Grinding Tool Safety
• Alwayswearappropriatepersonalprotectiveequipment.Whenusingagrinder,adequateeye
protection,eardefendersandbreathingprotectionmustbeworn
• DONOToperateagrinderwithouttheappropriateguardsinplace
• Grindingtoolaccessoriesmustbemounted,usedandstoredincompliancewiththe
manufacturer’s recommendations
• Only use cutting discs in the size stated in this instruction manual. Attempting to use any other
accessory or attachment is extremely dangerous and could lead to serious injury
• Usethecorrecttypeofcuttingorgrindingdiscforthetaskandmaterialbeingworkedon.Check
thelabelonthediscoraccessorytondoutifitisappropriatetouseontheworkpiece
• Themaximumspeedofthecutting/grindingdiscorotheraccessorymustalwaysbehigherthan
themaximumspeedofthemachineonwhichtheyaremounted
• Donotuseanyformofspacersoradaptersinanattempttomakeanincorrectlysizeddisct
your machine
• Ensurethatthecutting/grindingdiscoraccessoryisttedcorrectlyandsecurelybeforeuse.Run
themachinewiththediscoraccessorytted,butwithoutload,forareasonabletimebefore
attempting to cut/grind. If excessive vibration occurs, stop the machine, investigate and correct
thecausebeforeuse.Seekprofessionalguidanceifyouareindoubtabouthowtooperatethe
machine safely
• Alldiscsandaccessoriesmustbecheckedbeforeinstallation.Ifadiscisdamagedinanyway,
suchasbybeingchipped,fractured,warpedormisshapen,DONOTUSEANDDISCARD.Ifyouare
unsureaboutwhetheradiscissafetooperate,DONOTUSEANDDISCARD
• Alwaysensurethataccessoriesaresuitabletouse.Checktheexpirydateonthelabel.Resin-
based and other grinding and cutting discs CANNOT SAFELY BE USED beyond their expiry date
• Donotallowdiscstobecomewetorcontaminatedwithoil.Ifyoususpectthatadischas
degradedinstorage,orifyouareunsureaboutwhetheritsexpirydatehaspassed,DONOTUSE
AND DISCARD
• Do not attempt to cut or grind magnesium or any alloy that has high magnesium content
• Do not attempt to make cuts that exceed the maximum cutting depth of the disc
• Hold the machine appropriately to ensure that debris produced does not land on skin or clothing
• Discswillcontinuetorotateforsometimeafterthemachinehasbeenswitchedoff.Allowthe
movingpartstostopcompletelywithoutinterference.Donottrytostopthemachinebyholding
anobjectagainstthedisc.NEVERplacethegrinderdownuntilthedischascompletelystopped
moving
• Agrindingdiscwillgraduallyweardownduringuse,reducingitssize.Ifadiscbecomestoo
smalltoworkwitheasily,stopusingitandreplaceitwithanewdisc
Intended Use
Anglegrinderusing100mm(4”)diameterdiscs,poweredbycompressedairfromacompressor,for
grinding and cutting of metal and other materials.
Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefullyunpackandinspectyourtool.Fullyfamiliariseyourselfwithallitsfeaturesand
functions

damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool
Before Use
WARNING:Alwaysdisconnecttheanglegrinderfromtheairsupplybeforeattemptingtotor
replaceanyattachment.Nevertanyattachmentwithamaximumspeedlowerthanthenoload
speed of the machine.
• All discs and accessories must be subjected to a visual inspection prior to installation to ensure
theyareingoodconditionandwithintheirexpirydate.Ifindoubt,DONOTUSEandDISCARD
• Alwayscheckallpartsandattachmentsaresecure,andthatrotatingpartswillnotfoulonguards
or machine case
• Alwaysholdthemachine,usingbothhands,bythehandlesprovided
• Beawarethatthetoolhousingmaygethotduringuse
• Alwayswearappropriatepersonalprotectiveequipmentforthetask.Useofthismachine

hard hat
Fitting the quick connector
Note:Thistoolissuppliedwithtwodifferentmaleairlinequickconnectors:
EQ-4 – commonly used in Europe
EN-6 – mainly used in the UK
• Pleasechoosetheconnectorthatiscompatiblewiththeairlinesystemyouareusing,andinstall
asoutlinedbelow:
1. ApplysomePTFEtape(notincluded)tothescrewthreadsoftheQuickConnector(11).Thiswillhelp
to maintain an air tight seal
Note: ApplyPTFEtapetightlyandinaclockwisedirection,soitdoesnotcomeoffwhenthethread
isscrewedintothetool.
2. Remove the protective plug from the air inlet
3. Usingaspanner(notincluded)screwthequickconnectorintotheairinletlocatedatthebaseof
the handle
4. Connect to airline, pressurise carefully and carry out a leak check (e.g. by spraying small amounts of
soapywaterontotheoutsideoftheconnectors)
• Airlinesttedwithmatchingfemalequickconnectorswillnowbeapushttothetool
Fitting the auxiliary handle
WARNING: To ensure operator safety, ALWAYS use the Auxiliary Handle (8).
1. Screwtheauxiliaryhandleclockwiseintothemountingpointontheleftsideofthetool
housing. Tighten by hand
2. Toremovetheauxiliaryhandle,unscrewanti-clockwise
Fitting a disc
WARNING:Disconnectthetoolfromtheairsupplybeforettingorchangingdiscs.
• FindtheatfacesontheSpindle(3)andengagethemwiththeSpanner(7),sothatthespindle
is held securely and not able to rotate
• Use the Pin Spanner (6) to loosen the Threaded Flange (4)
• Removethethreadedangeanddiscardtheolddisciftted
• Fitanewdiscofcorrectsize(see‘Specications’),followingthemanufacturer’sguidancefor
direction of rotation
Note:Unlessotherwisestated,themetalringatthecentreofthediscshouldfacethespindle.
• Re-tthethreadedange,ensuringitisnotdeformed,burredornotched,andtightenusingthe
spanner and pin spanner
WARNING:Adamagedangemaycauseirregularpressureonthedisc,andmaycauseittobreak.
