PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS
Read Operating Instructions
Always become familiar with all the
instructions and warnings before operating
any power tool.
Always Wear Approved
Eye Protection
Impact resistant eye protection should
meet or exceed the standards as set forth
in the United States ANSI Z87.1,
Occupational and Educational Eye and
Face Protection. Look for the marking
Z87.1 on your eye protection to insure that
it is an approved style. For further
information, ANSI Z87.1, Occupational and
Educational Eye and Face Protection, is
available from the American National
Standards Institute, Inc., 11 West 42nd
Street, New York, NY 10036.
Hearing Protection is
Recommended
Hearing protection should be used when the
noise level exposure equals or exceeds an
8 hour time-weighted average sound level
of 85 dBA. Process noise, reflective
surfaces, other tools being operated
nearby, all add to the noise level present in
your work area. If you are unable to
determine your noise level exposure, we
recommend the use of hearing protection.
Avoid Prolonged Exposure to
Vibration
PnuematicTools can vibrate during use.
Prolonged exposure to vibration or very
repetitive hand and arm movements, can
cause injury. Stop using any tool if
discomfort, tingling feeling or pain occurs.
You should consult your physician before
resuming use of the tool.
90 PSIG Maximum
This tool is designed to operate at an air
pressure of 90 pounds per square inch
gauge pressure (90 PSIG) maximum, at the
tool. Use of higher air pressure can, and
may cause injury. Also, the use of higher
air pressure places the internal components
under loads and stresses they were not
designed for, causing premature

Safety Instructions
The following instructions are furnished as
general guidelines for use of your pneu-
matic tool. They cannot comprehensively
cover all possible or conceivable uses of
the subject tool. For additional information
on the safe use of air tools, we advise you
to obtain a copy of ANSI B186.1 Safety
Code for Portable Air Tools, available from
the following source:

The use of the word “shall” in the following
instructions, indicates that adherence to
the particular requirement is necessary to
conform to ANSI B186.1.
Tool Application and Usage
Pneumatic tools shall be used only for the
purposes intended in their design and
within the capacity for which they were
intended and rated. It shall be the tool owner’s
and/or employer’s responsibility to instruct
each operator in the safe use of the tool.
Tools shall not be used without guards and
safety devices as furnished by the manufac-
turer. Where an air tool is modified or altered,
the modifier shall provide the safeguards to
enable it to be safely used in the operations
intended and to comply with any applicable
provisions as contained in ANSI B186.1.
Tool Installation
Pressure regulators shall be used to limit air
pressure to the rated pressure where the
supply pressure exceeds the tool’s rated
pressure. Air hoses and lines shall be
relieved of compressed air before being
disconnected or disjointed, unless there is
automatic valve closing protection at the joint
being separated. Synthetic lubricants which
can cause deterioration of elastomer seals
shall not be used in air systems of air tools.
Tool Maintenance (Fitting Wheels and
Guards)
It shall be the tool owner’s and/or employer’s
responsibility to assure that tools are
maintained in a safe operating condition. Tool
maintenance and repair shall be performed by
authorized, trained, competent personnel.
Tools shall be disconnected from their
compressed air supply before any repairs or
fitting of wheels and guards are attempted.
Repairs shall be consistent with the
manufacturer’s recommended procedures.
Tool, hoses and fittings shall be replaced if
unsuitable for safe operation. It shall be the
tool owner’s and/or employer’s responsibility
to keep required rating markings and
warnings on the tool in legible condition.

WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
•Lead from lead-based paints
•Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and
other masonry products
•Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-
ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
UT300H-60-6
6” HORIZONTAL GRINDER
Use Accessories Rated at Tool
RPM or Higher
Always use grinding wheels with an RPM rating
that meets or exceeds the tool RPM rating.
Always examine wheels for chips, cracks or
signs of damage before mounting. Never use
grinding wheels that have been dropped or
exposed to: water, solvent or extreme tempera-
ture changes.The grinder’s speed should be
checked with a tachometer before mounting a
wheel; after all repairs and whenever the
All depressed center wheel , cup wheel, and
horizontal wheel gringers must be used with
wheel guards. Grinders must be disconnected
from the air supply when mounting or removing
any wheel or adjusting the wheel guard. After
properly mounting the wheel and guard, the
grinder should be brought up to full speed and run
for at least one minute in a protected enclosure.
Description
The Universal Tool Grinders are designed for material removal in foundry and metal
fabrication. All UT Grinders feature powerful direct drive motors and centrifugal
speed control governors to maintain RPM under heavy loads.
