Installing/Removing Cutting Wheel
BE AWARE not to overtighten the bolt and flange.
1. Slot the open end wrench over the spindle to grip the two flat faces.
2. Hold the spindle firmly with the open end wrench so it is not able to rotate.
3. Whilst holding the spindle securely use your other hand to unscrew the bolt and flange
using the hex key.
4. Remove the cutting disc if in place.
5. Correctly fit the new cutting disc by ensuring the metal ring on the new cutting disc is
facing the spindle and not outwards.
6. Carefully refit the bolt and flange and tighten using the open end wrench and hex key.
7. Check the cutting disc is secure and correctly aligned by spinning it by hand.

ALWAYS ensure the guard is secure before use.
Operation
DO NOT switch the air cut off tool on/off when the cutting disc is in contact with the
workpiece. Always allow the tool to reach its full speed before placing onto workpiece and
stop completely before placing the tool down.
ALWAYS ensure the tool is held securely using both hands. Make sure your hand/fingers are
not near the guard/cutting disc.
DO NOT apply too much pressure to the tool when in use. Excessive pressure can damage
the cutting disc and increase wear and tear on the tool.
DO NOT use the tool for sideways grinding as it is not made for this and can cause the disc
to shatter.
BE AWARE that when the cutting disc begins to cut the tool will move sideways. Always
ensure you have a tight and secure grip of the tool.
NEVER allow the tool to run in ‘idle’ rotation for an extended period of time. This can
shorten the life of the tool.
ALWAYS ensure the air pressure has been correctly removed from the tool after shutting off
the air supply.
1. Ensure the instructions for installing the cutting disc have been followed and
the disc is correctly installed.
2. Remove the protective cap from the air inlet and place to one side.
3. Ensure the air cut off tool has been lubricated before use. Add 5 drops of air
tool oil in the air inlet.
4. Blow out the air line to remove any dirt or moisture.
5. Connect the air hose to the air inlet.
6. Set the air pressure to 90PSI.
7. The speed can be adjusted by using a slotted screwdriver to adjust the air regulator
screw beneath the housing.
8. Safely push the lever forward to release the throttle lever and gently press the lever.
9. The cutting disc will begin to spin. Allow the tool to reach the full operating
speed before using on the workpiece.
