Other specific safety instructions

• Replace warning labels if they become obscured or removed.
• Do not use this tool for other than its intended use.
• Excessive air pressure or too much free rotation will decrease the life of the tool and may cause a hazardous situation.
•  Check air hose for wear, and keep them away from heat and sharp edges. Do not carry the tool by the air hose.
• Slip / trip / fall is a major cause of serious injury or even death. Be aware of excess hose left on your walking way or on the working surface and be aware of the whipping air hose too.
• Continuous operation and bad working condition will injure hands. Once hand numbs or aches, operator shall stop the tool for a while for relaxing and re-start the work after recovery. Operator shall immediately see a doctor if such a serious symptom occurs.
• Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. keep children away.
• This product may contain one or more chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged grinding accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the grinding accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled grinding tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if a rotary burr is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of it that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the rotary burr to climb out or kick out .The rotary burr may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of its movement at the point of pinching.
Kickback is the result of grinding tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

1. Maintain a firm grip on the grinding tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
2. Always operate the machine using two hands, for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
3. When using rotary burrs or other grinding accessories, always have the workpiece securely clamped. These grinding accessories will grab if they become slightly canted in the groove, and can kickback. When a rotary burr grabs, it may jump from the groove and you could lose control of the grinder.
4. Never place your hand near the grinding accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
5. Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the accessory’s movement at the point of snagging.
6. Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the grinding accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the grinding accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
7. Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.

Assembly

WARNING : Switch off and unplug the Air Die Grinder from the air supply before assembling or adjusting the tool.

Fitting the collet and grinding burr

1. A. Loosen the collet nut by using the supplied wrenches.
2. B. After loosening the collet nut, place the collet (6mm or 1/4″) inside.
3. C. Put the collet nut back in place, but do not tighten it yet.
4. Insert the grinding burr into the collet. Make sure to insert at least 25% of the grinding burr’s shank into the collet.
5. Tighten the collet nut using the supplied wrenches. Make sure the collet nut is tightened well and the grinding burr is stuck in place.

Using the Air Die Grinder

Air supply system
For using this tool the following air supply system layout is recommended:

Also take note of the following:

1.  Make sure that the air compressor being used for the air tool operation supplies the correct output (SCFM).
2. Have the tool in the “off” position when connecting the tool to the air supply.
3. Use 90 PSI / 6.3 Bar air pressure while running the tool. Using a different air pressure may result in reduced performance of the grinder.
4. Drain water from the air compressor tank daily together with any condensed water in the air hoses. Water in the air supply system can result in reduced performance and/or damage.
5. Clean the air inlet filter weekly. Unclean air can result in reduced performance, faster wear and/or damage.
6. The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” I. D. and the fittings should have the same inside dimensions. But usually a 3/8” l.D. air hose is recommended for air supply to get the best function of air tool operation.
7. Use proper hoses and fittings. We do not suggest connecting quick change couplings directly to the tool since they may ca use failure due to vibration. Instead, add a leader hose and connect coupling between air supply and hose whip.
8. Check hoses for wear before individual use. Ma ke certain that all connections are in security.

Operating instructions
For operating the tool, please follow the steps below.

WARNING: Make the die grinder run idle for at least 30 seconds with the grinding accessory correctly assembled, the grinding accessory should be immediately replaced if there is the vibration. Only use the grinding accessory with shank that match the installed collet. Smaller shank will not be secure and could become loose during operation.

1. Lubricate the tool before operating. Please refer to “5. Maintenance”.

2. Prepare the tool, inserting the collet and grinding burr, as described in “3.1 Fitting the collet and grinding burr”
   WARNING: Only use grinding accessories that have an RPM rating equal to or greater than the tool itself.

3. Insert one of the supplied air nipples that fits with the air coupling that will be used for working with the tool.

4. Connect the air supply hose to the tool. Make sure the air coupling is set in place and no air is leaking.

5. Before working the tool make sure the air flow adjustment knob is set in the right position. (1 = minimum speeds, 4 = maximum speed)

6. Once the air connection is in place and the correct air flow rate has been chosen, the tool is ready to be operated. Operating the part can be done by pressing the trigger-block forward. Once the stigger is pressed air will make the grinding burr rotate on high speed. KEEP CLEAR THE ROTATING GRINDING BURR WITH HANDS, CLOTES, HAIR OR ANY OTHER LOOSE OBJECTS.

7. After finishing the workpiece: Disconnect the air supply and remove the grinding burr to avoid injuries coming from sharp edges.

WARNING: excessive pressure exercised on grinder may lead to high working power and overload. It increases the wear on the rotary burr or other grinding accessory and can damage the motor of the die grinder.
WARNING: Sparks generated when grinding metal. Take care that no combustible material presented on the area of flying sparks.
