Air ~u~~l~
Use a clean lubricated air supply that win give a measured air
pressure
at the tool of 90 p.s.iJ6.2 bar when the tool is running
withthetriggerneverfullydepressed.Userecommendedhosesize
andlength.
It isrecommendedthat thetoo) isconnected to theair
supply as
shown in figure 1. Do not connect the toolto the air line
system
without incorporatinganeasytoreachandoperateair shut
off valve. The air supply should be lubricated. It is strongly
recommendedthat anair fitter, regulator, lubricator
(FRL) isused
as
shown inFigure1as this willsupply dean, lubricatedair at the
correct pressure to
the tool. Details of such equipment can be
obtainedfrom your supplier.
If such equipment is not used, then
the tool shouldbe lubricated by shutting off the air supply to the
tool, depressurizmg
the line by pressing the triggertlever on the
tool. Disconnect the air line and pour into the hose adaptor a
teaspoonful(5ml) of a suitable pneumatic motor lubricating oil
preferably incorporatinga rust inhibitor. Reconnect tool to air
supply and run tool slowly for a few seconds to allow air to
circulatetheoil. Iftool is usedfrequently, lubricateon dailybasis
and
if toolstartsto slow or losepower.
It isrecommendedthat the airpressureat the toolwhile thetoolis
runningis
90 psiI6.2 bar.
Operating
With the grindercorrectlyconnectedto the airsupply, check thespeed
of the grinder with aninletpressureof 90 PSV6.2 bar measured at
the tool Met. Check with a calibratedtachometer. Check that the
guardisinpositionandsecurely
fixed. Checkthatthegrindingwheel
is of correct dimensions, is not cracked or chipped and has a
permitted speed rating higher than the maximum permissible
running
speed of the grinder, which is 12,000 RPM. Checkthat (5)
discreceiver,isthe correct tvoe aspartslistandis screwed tiohtly to
the shalt and locates the bore of the grinding wheelon the s&l of
the disc receiver and screw on disc nut (4) using the spanners
provided.
Do not over tighten as this could crack thewheel. It should
be tight enoughtopreventwheel spin off whentheair supply is shut
ofl.
When first starting the grinder with a new or changed wheelfitted,
the grinder should first be started ina protectedarea. i.e. under a
bench wen away from otherpersonsand run for one minute.This will
provide protection if the wheel shouldbreakbecause some fault was
not detected
Always use eye protectionandwear protective gloves if there are
sharp
edges in the work area.The tool and thegrinding process can
create
a noise levelsuchthat the use of ear protectors is advised. It
the grinding process creates a dust, then usea suitable breathing
mask.
Check that the materialbeing worked will not causeharmful
dust or fumes. If this is so, then specialbreathingmasks may be
required. H thegrindervibrateswhen first fining the wheel or during
operation, removefrom service *mmediately and correctfaultbefore
continuing
to use.
Do not apply excessive pressure as this will reduce the cutting
dkkncy. Apply light loads to abw the wheel to cut
Handle the grinder with care. Ã the grinder is dropped, carefully
examinethe
wheel lor damage and replace if necessary. Start the
machine
as if for the first time of fittingawheel, i.e. under a bench.
Makesure the object to beground is inafirm fixed position.
The throttlelever (511 is the onlofl valve for the tool. This is a
governedspeed controlledtool. The free runningspeed should
be
checkedfrequently with anaccuratetachometer. If the freespeedat
the maximumallowedoperatingpressureexceeds 12,000 RPM stop
usingthe toolandarrange for service
to correct speed.
