• Air powered tools can vibrate during use. Extended
exposure to vibration, repetitive motions or uncomfortable
positions during use may be harmful to your hands and
arms. Discontinue use of tool if discomfort, tingling feeling
or pain occurs. Seek medical advice before resuming use.
• Compressed air can cause severe injury. Never direct air at
yourself or others. Always turn off the air supply, drain
hose of air pressure and detach tool from air supply before
installing, removing or adjusting any part or accessory on
this tool, or before performing any maintenance on this tool.
Failure to do so could result in injury.
• Whip hoses can cause serious injury. Always check for
and replace immediately any damaged, frayed or loose
hoses and fittings.
• Do not operate a damaged or worn tool. Do no use quick-
detach couplings at tool. See instructions for correct
set-up.
• Do not point or indulge in any horseplay with this tool.
• Slipping, tripping and/or falling while operating air tools can
be a major cause of serious injury or death. Be aware of
excess hose left on walking or work surface.
• Keep body working stance balanced and firm. Do not
overreach when operating this tool.
• Anticipate and be alert for sudden changes in motion during
use of any power tool.
• Do not carry tool by hose. Protect the hose from sharp
objects and heat.
• Note direction of rotation BEFORE operating this tool.
• Tool shaft may continue to rotate briefly after throttle is
released. Avoid direct contact with accessories during and
after use. Gloves will reduce the risk of cuts or burns.
• Keep away from rotating end of tool. Do not wear jewelry or
loose clothing. Secure long hair. Scalping can occur if
hair is not kept away from tool and accessories. Choking
can occur if neckwear is not kept away from tool and
accessories.
• RPM OF THE ACCESSORY MUST EXCEED TOOL RPM. Use
accessories rated at 18,000 RPM or higher.
• Do not lock, tape or wire the “on/off” safety lever in the
“on” position, as the lever must be free to return to the
“off” position when released.
• Correct cut-off wheel mounting is necessary to prevent
injury from broken wheels. Do not use chipped or cracked
cut-off wheels. Cut-off wheels should be a free fit on the
spindle to prevent stress at the hole. Use only wheel collars
that come with the tool for mounting the cut-off wheel. Flat
washers or other adapters may over stress the wheel.
Tighten the cut-off wheel on the spindle to prevent spin off
when the tool is turned off.
• NEVER OPERATE THIS TOOL WITHOUT THE REQUIRED
DISC COVER/GUARD IN PLACE.
• When using the cut-off tool, be careful not to exert
excessive force. Too much force could be hazardous if it
causes the tool spindle to bend or break. The burning of the
work piece or excessive speed reduction indicates too
much force being applied. Start the tool off the work, set
it down on the work evenly and move in the direction
desired to make the cut. When finished cutting, lift off the
work before stopping the motor.
• This tool is not insulated against electric shock.
• This tool must not be used in explosive atmospheres.
• Do not lubricate tools with flammable or volatile liquids such
as kerosene, diesel or jet fuel.
• Do not force tool beyond its rated capacity.
• Do not remove any labels. Replace damaged labels.
• Use only approved replacement parts and accessories
recommended by Cornwell Tools.
• Servicing and repairs should only be made by an authorized
service center.
• Do not use (or modify) the tool for any other purpose
than that for which it was designed without consulting the
manufacturer’s authorized representative.
• Failure to heed these warnings may result in personal injury
and/or property damage.

AIR SUPPLY
Tools operate on a wide range of air pressures. It is recommended
that air pressure of these tools measures 90 psig at the tool with
the trigger fully depressed and no load applied to the tool. Higher
pressure (over 90 psig; 6.2 bar) raises performance beyond the
rated capacity of the tool, which will shorten tool life and could
cause injury.
Always use clean, dry air. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or water in the
air line will cause damage to the tool. Drain water from air lines
and compressor prior to running tool. Clean the air inlet filter screen
weekly. The recommended hookup procedure can be viewed in the
above figure.
The air inlet used for connecting air supply has standard 1/4" NPT.
Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long
air hoses (over 25 feet). Minimum hose diameter should be 3/8" I.D.
and fittings should have the same inside dimensions and be tightly
secured.
Always turn off the air supply, drain hose of air pressure and detach
tool from air supply before installing, removing or adjusting any part
of accessory on this tool, or before performing any maintenance on
this tool.
Ensure an accessible emergency shut off valve has been installed in
the air supply line and make others aware of its location.
LUBRICATION
Lubricate the air motor daily with high quality air tool oil. If no air
line oiler is used, run 1/2 oz. of oil through the tool. The oil can
be squirted into the tool air inlet or into the hose at the nearest
connection to the air supply, then run the tool. A rust inhibitive oil is
acceptable for air tools.
WARNING: After an air tool has been lubricated, oil will discharge
through the exhaust port during the first few seconds of operation.
The exhaust port must be covered with a towel before applying air
pressure to prevent serious injury.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Other factors outside the tool may cause loss of power or
erratic action. Reduced compressor output, excessive drain on
the air line, moisture or restrictions in air pipes or the use of hose
connections of improper size or poor conditions may reduce air
supply. Grit or gum deposits in the tool may cut power and may be
corrected by cleaning the air strainer and flushing out the tool with
gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE #10 and kerosene. If
outside conditions are in order, disconnect tool from hose and take
tool to your nearest authorized service center.
OPERATION
OPERATION NOTE: Always turn off the air supply, drain hose of
air pressure and detach tool from air supply before installing,
removing or adjusting any part or accessory on this tool, or
before performing any maintenance on this tool.
NOTE: Before using, test cut-off wheel by briefly running the
tool at full throttle under a barrier (such as under a heavy work
table) to stop any possible broken wheel parts.
Always use the required wheel guard to prevent injury from
broken cutting parts. If a guard has withstood a wheel
breakage, discontinue its use and replace it with a new guard.
It may be damaged. Position the guard between the cut-off
wheel and the operator. Use barriers to protect others from wheel
fragments and sparks.
Always wear impact-resistant eye and face protection
to guard against flying debris (users and bystanders).
Even small projectiles can injure eyes and cause blindness.
A cut-off wheel that breaks can cause very serious injury.
Daily measure the tool speed with a tachometer to make
sure the speed is not greater than the RPM marked on the
cut-off wheel. Never use a cut-off wheel marked with a
speed lower than the tool speed.
When using the cut-off tool, be careful not to exert excessive force.
Too much force could be hazardous if it causes the tool spindle to
bend or break. The burning of the work piece or excessive speed
reduction indicates too much force being applied. Start the tool off
the work, set it down on the work evenly and move in the direction
desired to make the cut. When finished cutting, lift off the work
before stopping the motor.
WARNING: Correct cut-off wheel mounting is necessary to
prevent injury from broken wheels. Do not use chipped or
cracked cut-off wheels. Cut-off wheels should be a free fit on
the spindle to prevent stress at the hole. Use only wheel collars
that come with the tool for mounting the cut-off wheel. Flat
washers or other adapters may over stress the wheel. Tighten
the wheel on the spindle to prevent spin off when the tool is
turned off.
WARNING: NEVER OPERATE THIS TOOL WITHOUT
REQUIRED DISC COVER/GUARD IN PLACE.
Ensure an accessible emergency shut off valve has been installed
in the air supply line and make others aware of its location.
