OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. LUBRICATION:
Lubricate the tool daily with a high-quality air tool oil. If no inline oiler is used, run a teaspoon of oil through the tool.
The oil can be added into the tool air inlet or into the hose at the nearest connection to the air supply, then run the tool.
2. TIGHTNESS OF PARTS:
Regularly check whether all connecting parts are fastened securely. Follow this procedure daily before beginning work.
3. STORAGE:
Avoid storing the tool in a location subject to high humidity. If the tool is left unused, the residual moisture inside the
tool can cause rust. Before storing and after operation, oil the tool at the air inlet with a good quality air tool oil and
run it for a short period.

the cutting/grinding tool to the right and left until you have achieved the desired appearance (finish) on the workpiece.
8. Once the work is completed, release hand pressure on the trigger (23). The safety will automatically
return to its locked position to prevent the trigger from accidentally being activated.
9. Turn off the air compressor. Trip the safety with your finger, and slowly squeeze the trigger to release any
remaining air pressure from the Die Grinder. Then, disconnect the air hose from the tool.
