- Check regularly that the speed of the die grinder is not higher than that marked on it. These speed checks
shall be carried out without the abrasive product mounted and in accordance with the instructions given by the
manufacturer.
- Ensure that sparks and debris resulting from use do not create a hazard.
- Disconnect the grinder from the energy supply before changing abrasive product and servicing.
- The risks to others should also be assessed at this time.
Entanglement hazards -Choking, scalping and/or lacerations can occur if loose clothing, personal jewellery, neck
wear, hair or gloves are not kept away from the tool and accessories.
Operating hazards
-Avoid contact with the rotating spindle and inserted tool to prevent cutting of hands and other body parts.
- Use of the tool can expose the operator's hands to hazards, including cuts and abrasions and heat. Wear
suitable gloves to protect hands.
- Operators and maintenance personnel shall be physically able to handle the bulk, weight and power of the
tool.
- Hold the tool correctly; be ready to counteract normal or sudden movements and have both hands available.
- Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.
- Release the start-and-stop device in the case of an interruption of the energy supply.
- Use only lubricants recommended by the manufacturer.
- Personal protective safety glasses shall be used; suitable gloves and protective clothing are
recommended.

- Avoid direct contact with the inserted tool during and after use as it can be hot or sharp.
- The maximum operating speed of the inserted tool shall equal or exceed the rated speed marked on the tool.
- 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.
- Do not use mounted wheels which are chipped or cracked or which could have been dropped.
- Use only permitted inserted tools of the correct shaft diameter.
- Pay attention to the fact that the permitted speed of the mounted point has to be lowered due to the increase
of the length of the shaft between the end of the collet and the mounted point (overhang). Make sure that the minimum
gripping length of 10 mm is observed (see Figure 1 and the recommendations of the manufacturer of mounted points).
- Be aware of the risk of mismatching the diameter of the shaft of the mounted point and that of the collet.
Workplace hazards
-Slips, trips and falls are major causes of workplace injury. Be aware of slippery surfaces caused by use of the tool
and also of trip hazards caused by the air line or hydraulic hose.
- Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. There can be hidden hazards, such as electricity or other utility
lines.
- The die grinder is not intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and is not insulated against
contact with electric power.
- Ensure that there are no electrical cables, gas pipes, etc., which can cause a hazard if damaged by use of the
tool.
Dust and fume hazards
-Dust and fumes generated when using die grinders can cause ill health (for example cancer, birth defects,
asthma and/or dermatitis); risk assessment and implementation of appropriate controls for these hazards are essential.
- Risk assessment should include dust created by the use of the tool and the potential for disturbing existing
dust. -Operate and maintain the die grinder as recommended in these instructions, to minimize dust or fume emissions.
- Direct the exhaust so as to minimize disturbance of dust in a dust-filled environment.
- Where dust or fumes are created, the priority shall be to control them at the point of emission.
- All integral features or accessories for the collection, extraction or suppression of airborne dust or fumes
should be correctly used and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
- Select, maintain and replace the consumable/inserted tool as recommended in the instructions, to prevent an
unnecessary increase in dust or fumes.
- Use respiratory protection in accordance with the employer's instructions and as required by occupational
health and safety regulations.
- Working in certain materials creates emission of dust and fumes, causing a potentially explosive environment.
Noise hazards
-Exposure to high noise levels can cause permanent, disabling hearing loss and other problems, such as
tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, whistling or humming in the ears). Therefore, risk assessment and implementation of
appropriate controls for these hazards are essential.
- Appropriate controls to reduce the risk may include actions such as damping materials to prevent work pieces
from “ringing”.
- Use hearing protection in accordance with employer's instructions and as required by occupational health and
safety regulations.
- Operate and maintain the die grinder as recommended in the instruction handbook, to prevent an
unnecessary increase in the noise level.
- Select, maintain and replace the consumable/inserted tool as recommended in the instruction handbook, to
prevent an unnecessary increase in noise.

grinder is being operated.
Vibration hazards
-Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the nerves and blood supply of the hands and arms.
- Wear warm clothing when working in cold conditions and keep your hands warm and dry.
- If you experience numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin in your fingers or hands, stop using the die
grinder, tell your employer and consult a physician.
- Operate and maintain the die grinder as recommended in the instruction handbook, to prevent an
unnecessary increase in vibration levels.
- Select, maintain and replace the consumable/inserted tool as recommended in the instruction handbook, to
prevent an unnecessary increase in vibration levels.
- Support the weight of the tool in a stand, tensioner or balancer if possible.

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
- Hold the tool with a light but safe grip, taking account of the required hand reaction forces, because the risk
from vibration is generally greater when the grip force is higher.
- An improperly mounted or damaged inserted tool can cause excessive vibration levels.
Additional safety instructions for 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 fittings.
- Whenever universal twist couplings (claw couplings) are used, lock pins shall be installed and whipcheck
safety cables shall be used to safeguard against possible hose-to-tool connection failure.
- Do not exceed the maximum air pressure stated on the tool.
- Never carry an air tool by the hose.
2. Important Safety Rules
1) When grinding always wear safety goggles ,an appropriate face mask or respiratory equipment.
2) Always ensure machine is switched off before connecting to air supply.
3) Disconnect any machine from the air supply before changing accessories and before servicing any type
of machine.
4) Always keep your air tool clean and lubricated. Daily lubrication is essential to avoid internal corrosion
and possible failure.
5) Do not wear watches, rings bracelets or loose clothing when using air tools.
6) Using only light weight coil hoses from a tool to the wall or compressor coupling.
7) Do not overload the machine. Allow the tool to operate at its optimum speed for maximum efficiency.
8) Do not increase the air pressure above the manufacturers recommended level, as excessive overload
can cause the machine casing to split. Also this creates excessive wear on moving parts and possible
failure.
9) In the interests of safety and possible damage to the machine/operator, always ensure that the machine
has stopped before putting it down after use.
10) Always ensure that the work piece is firmly secured leaving both hands free to control the machine.
11) Always ensure that the accessories are rated/designed for use with the machine. Also correctly and

Durable, lightweight composite housing design also helps reduce vibration
Air supply
1) Ensure air valve (or trigger) is in the “off”position before connecting to the air supply.
2) You will require an air pressure of 90psi, and an air flow according to specification.
3) WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi while operating the tool. Too high
an air pressure and unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear, and may be
dangerous causing damage or personal injury.
4) Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the tool.
5) Clean air inlet filter weekly.
6) Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 meters). The
hose diameter should be 3/8”I.D.
7) Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain that all
connections are secure.
Lubrication
An automatic in-line filter-regulator-lubricator is recommended (Fig4) as it increases tool life and keeps the
tool in sustained operation. The in-line lubricator should be regularly checked and filled with air tool oil.
Proper adjustment of the in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet of paper next to the exhaust ports
and holding the throttle open approximately 30 seconds. The lubricator is properly set when a light stain of
oil collects on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil should be avoided. In the event that it becomes
necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.), it should receive a
generous amount of lubrication at that time. The tool should be run for approximately 30 seconds to ensure
oil has been evenly distributed throughout the tool. The tool should be stored in a clean and dry
environment.
z It is most important that the tool be properly lubricated by keeping the air line lubricator filled and
correctly adjusted. Without proper lubrication the tool will not work properly and parts will wear
prematurely.
z Use the proper lubricant in the air line lubricator. The lubricator should be of low air flow or changing air
flow type, and should be kept filled to the correct level. Use only recommended lubricants, specially
made for pneumatic applications. Substitutes may harm the rubber compounds in the tools O-rings and
other rubber parts.
IMPORTANT!!!
If a filter/regulator/lubricator is not installed on the air system, air operated tools should be lubricated at least
once a day or after 2 hours work with 2 to 6 drops of oil, depending on the work environment, directly

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
through the male fitting in the tool housing.
5. Loading and operation
Ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions before use.
1Connect the tool to the air hose.
2Press the trigger to operate the tool.
3The flow of air may be regulated by adjusting flow valve at the base of the handle.
4Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi while operating the tool. Too high an air
pressure and unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear, and may be dangerous causing
damage or personal injury. DO NOT use any additional force upon the tool. DO NOT allow tool to free run for
an extended period of time as this will shorten its life. Turn on the air compressor and allow it to build up
pressure onceall of jobs done.Adjust the air compressor’s regulator or the supply lineregulator to
90PSI.Squeeze trigger gently.
6. Maintenance
Disconnect tool from air supply before changing accessories, servicing or performing
maintenance. Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Non-authorised parts may be
dangerous
1Lubricate the air tool daily with a few drops of air tool oil dripped into the air inlet
2DO NOT use worn, or damaged tool.
3Loss of power or erratic action may be due to the following: a) Excessive drain on the air line.
Moisture or restriction in the air pipe. Incorrect size or type of hose connectors. To remedy check the air
supply. b) Grit or gum deposits in the tool may also reduce performance. If your model has an air strainer
(located in the area of the air inlet), remove the strainer and clean it.
5. When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean tool and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.
7. Trouble Shooting
The following form lists the common operating system with problem and solutions. Please read the form
carefully and follow it.
