SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
This tool is designed to operate on 90 psig (6.2 bar)
maximum air pressure with 1/4" (8 mm) hose. Do not use
a grinder without recommended wheel guard. Do not
use any wheel for which the operating speed listed is
lower than the actual free speed of the Grinder.
SAFETY
1.Beforeoperationcheckspindle speedwithatachometer. Ifthe RPMexceedsthe
ratedspeed stamped on tool, servicingisrequired.2. Inspect grinding wheels for
bends,chips,nicks,cracksorseverewear.Ifthewheelhasanyofthese,orhasbeen
soakedinliquids do not use. On brushes check for loose wires that mayflyoffin
operation. 3. Start new grinding wheels under a steel bench. Run at full throttle for

grinders equipped with collets are intended for mounted
wheels,points and carbide burrs. They are not guarded
for type 1 wheels. If you have a type 1 wheel
application,please purchase a guard (4504,4505,etc.) 5.The
Model4401RA Grinders are equipped withaguardfrom the manufacturer. Aguardis
notneededfor:a.) mounted wheels two inches (50 mm) or smaller; b.) grinders used
forinternalwork,whilewithin the work being ground. 6. At least one-half of the
mandrellength (i.e. mounted wheel, burr,etc.) must be inserted intothe collet.

DISASSEMBLY
PLEASE NOTE: The brass spacers that were installed by
the factory are necessary for this tool to operate effi-
ciently. When disassembling this tool examine how
spacers are arranged. They must be installed exactly the
same way. Failure to do this will cause improper gear
spacing, which causes pre-mature tool failure.
1.Disconnectair&removeallwheelsandaccessories.2.Secureangleheadinviseon
dead handle boss. Unscrew and remove case(402-132) Never squeeze
anglehead in vise. This will distort bearings and ruin gear alignment. 3.
