Additional safety instructions for pneumatic tool

Air under pressure may cause serious injuries

• always cut off the air supply, drain hose of air pressure and disconnect the tool from the air supply, when: it is not used, before the exchange of accessories or before the repairs;

• you should never direct air stream towards yourself or anyone else.
  A stroke by the hose can cause serious injuries. You should always check for damaged or loose hoses and couplings. Cold air should be directed out of the hands. Every time when the universal screwed connections are used (claw connection) you should use protective mandrels and connectors, which are protecting against possible damage of connections between hoses and between the hose and tool. Do not exceed the maximum air pressure required for the tool.

• Never transport the tool by holding its hose.

OPERATING CONDITIONS

• Make sure that the compressed air source can generate appropriate working pressure and that it ensures the required air flow. In the case of excessive air pressure supply you should use reducer with safety valve. Pneumatic tool should be fed by the system of filter and lubricator. It will provide, at the same time, purity and air lubrication by oil. Status of filter and lubricator should be checked before each use and possibly clear the filter or complement deficiency of oil in the lubricator. This will ensure proper exploitation tool and will extend its life span.
• Do not use tools and grinding wheels, which are designed for cutting.
• Do not use grinding wheels other than those, which are indicated in the technical specifications.
• Make sure that the maximum rotational speed of the disc is higher than the speed of the grinder.
• Semi-mounted sanding disks should be placed concentrically on the pillow.
• Wear safety goggles during the work, it is also recommended to use gloves and protective clothing.
• During some operations may arise poisonous or combustible dusts and fumes. Work in a well ventilated area and use personal protection equipment.

TOOL USE

Before each use of the tool, make sure that no parts of the pneumatic system are damaged. If you notice damage, immediately replace the components with new, undamaged ones.
Dry condensed moisture inside the tool, compressor and hose before each use of the pneumatic system.

Preparing the tool for operation
Screw a suitable nozzle to the air inlet thread firmly and securely to connect the air supply hose (II).
Before installing the blade, make sure that the permissible rotation speed of the blade is equal to or higher than that of the grinder.
Mount the blade with the dimensions specified in the technical data table on the spindle. Tighten the blade by hand (IV) while holding the spindle with a wrench. Make sure that the wrench is removed from the tool after the blade has been mounted. If the wrench is left in the tool, it will turn into a projectile after it has been started, and this can cause serious injury.

Manually rotate the blade (several revolutions) to ensure that the blade rotates smoothly and without jams.
Attach a disc of abrasive paper or cloth to the underside of the blade. The surface of the disc to be clamped shall be covered with a special non-woven fabric to allow the disc to be held in place by the blade velcro. The disc should have the same diameter as the blade, it should be attached concentrically. The edge of the disc must not project beyond the edge of the blade. It is recommended to use discs without holes for the extraction of dust generated during work. The grinder blade is not equipped with holes and will wear out more quickly if you use a hole disc.

Adjust the air outlet of the tool so that the outgoing air stream is not directed towards the operator (V).
The tool is ready to be connected to a pneumatic system.

Connecting the tool to the pneumatic system
The figure shows the recommended manner of connecting the tool to the pneumatic system. This will ensure the most efficient use of the tool and also prolong the tool’s service life.

Apply a few drops of SAE 10 viscous oil into the air inlet.
If the tool is equipped with a rotation reversing switch, set the correct direction of rotation.
Wherever possible, adjust the pressure (torque).
Connect the tool to the pneumatic system using a hose with an internal diameter of 10 mm / 3/8”. Make sure the hose has a durability of at least 1.38 MPa. (V)
Make sure that the inserted tool is not in contact with any object, then run the tool for a few seconds to make sure that no suspicious sounds or vibrations are coming from the tool.

Starting and stopping the tool
Caution! Before starting the pneumatic tool, make sure that the mounted inserted tool does not come into contact with any object or any body part.

The tool is operated by means of a lever which opens the air valve and thus ensures the supply of compressed air to the tool drive.
Press the lever towards the housing. The valve can be secured with a lock to prevent the lever from being accidentally pressed in.
Pull out the lever (VI) before starting the tool. Use the locking device whenever the switch lever is not pressed in.
Allow the tool to reach its rated speed and only then start working.

Working with the grinder

• Make sure that the maximum equipment rotation speed is higher than that of the grinder.
• Start the grinder and allow the blade to reach its full rotation speed. Only a rotating blade should be applied to the workpiece.
• Position the grinder so that the entire surface of the grinding disc is used. This will ensure uniform wear of the disc.
• Move the grinder towards and away from you, and gradually to a side. Wood should be sanded along the grain. Sanding should be started with thicker grain sheets, and then use increasingly finer grain sheets until the desired effect is achieved. Avoid checking the condition of the wood surface worked with your bare hand. This can cause injury from splinters and burrs generated during work.
• The paper grain must be selected according to the surface worked. Too high grain of the grinding sheet will produce scratches on the surface of the material.
• Take regular breaks during operation to check the condition of the grinding sheet and the fill-up level of the dust container. If a grinding sheet is found to have been clogged with dust generated during work, or that the abrasive grain has worn, replace the sheet with a new one.
• Only apply as much pressure to the tool as you need to process the material. Excessive pressure can lead to uneven work results and even destroy the workpiece surface. Excessive pressure can lead to overheating of the surface, which can damage, for example, the sanded paint coating.
• Select the paper grain according to the type of work. Use more grain-rich paper for sanding and peeling. Use smoother paper for finishing work.
• Do not use the abrasive disc used for one type of work, for another type of work. For example, do not use the paint peeling disc to remove corrosion. Contamination remaining on the disc after finishing working with it once may adversely affect the surface to be machined during the next task.

MAINTENANCE

Never use petrol, solvent, or other flammable liquids for cleaning of tool. Fumes may ignite, causing the explosion of tool and serious injuries.
Solvents used for cleaning the tool handle and tool body can cause softening of seals. Thoroughly dry the tool before starting work. In case of any abnormality in the tool operation, the tool should be immediately disconnected from the pneumatic system.
All pneumatic system components must be protected from pollution. Pollution, which gets into the pneumatic system can destroy the tool and other elements of pneumatic system.

Maintenance of the tool before each use
Disconnect the tool from pneumatic system.
Before each use you should implant a small amount of preservative fluid (for example wd-40) through the air inlet.
Connect the tool to the pneumatic system and run it for about 30 seconds. This will allow to distribute the preservative liquid on the tool interior and clean it. Disconnect the tool from pneumatic system again.
A small quantity of SAE 10 oil let to the tool interior by air inlet and openings intended for that purpose. It is recommended to use SAE 10 oil intended for maintenance of pneumatic tools. Connect the tool and run it for a short time.

Attention! WD-40 may not serve as the appropriate lubricating oil.
Wipe the excess of oil, which is escaped by the outlets. The left oil can damage the tool sealing.

Other maintenance
Before each use of the tool you should check whether there are on the tool any visible signs of damage. Drivers, tool holders and the spindles should be kept clean. every 6 months, or after 100 hours of work you should submit the tool for examination by qualified personnel in repair workshop. If the tool was operated without the use of a recommended air supply system you should increase the frequency of tool examinations.

Removal of defects
You should discontinue the tool use immediately after any failure detection. Operation with a damaged tool can cause injuries. Any repair or replacement of the tool must be carried out by qualified personnel in authorized repair workshop.

WD-40 through the air inlet. Run the tool for a few seconds. The blades may stick to the rotor. Run the tool for about 30 seconds. Lubricate the tool with small amount of oil. Attention! The excess of oil can cause a decrease in power of tool. In this case, you should clean the drive.
Failure| Possible solution
---|---
The tool starts and then slows down| The compressor does not provide proper air supply. The tool starts by the air collected in the tank of compressor. As the tank is emptying, the compressor has not kept pace with the refilling of air shortages. Connect the device to a more efficient compressor.

Insufficient power

| Make sure that your hoses have an internal diameter of at least such as specified in the table in point 3. Check the set point of pressure, whether it is set to the maximum value. Make sure that the tool is properly cleaned and lubricated. In the absence of results, submit the tool for repair.
