❐ WARNING! Disconnect from air supply before changing grinding bit or servicing. Maintain die grinder in good condition and replace any damaged or worn parts. Use genuine parts only.
Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
❐ WARNING! Check correct air pressure is maintained and not exceeded. We recommended 90psi.
√ Keep air hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check air hose for wear before each use and ensure that all connections are secure.
❐ WARNING! Before each use check grinding bit is secure, and the bit is not worn or damaged. If damaged, replace immediately.
√ Ensure replacement grinding bits are not damaged (cracks, deformations or splinters etc).
√ Always use the correct grinding bit suitable for the material being ground. Ensure the maximum speed specification of the bit is higher than that indicated on the machine data plate.
❐ WARNING! Always wear approved eye or face protection when operating the die grinder.
√ Use breathing protection in accordance with COSHH regulations if fumes or dust pose a hazard.
√ Wear ear defenders and gloves if necessary.
√ Keep hands and body clear of the workpiece when operating the die grinder.
√ Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
√ Secure unstable workpiece with a clamp, vice or other adequate holding device.
√ Keep children and non essential persons away from the working area.
√ Avoid subjecting grinding bit to excessive strain, always ease grinding bit against workpiece (a harsh impact may break the bit).
√ Maintain a controlled progression.
√ Wear suitable clothing to avoid snagging.
√ When not in use disconnect from air supply and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.
× DO NOT wear loose jewellery and tie back long hair.
× DO NOT get the die grinder wet or use in damp or wet locations.
× DO NOT hold the workpiece by hand. Use clamps or a vice to secure the workpiece.
× DO NOT use the die grinder for a task it is not designed to perform.
× DO NOT use cutting off wheels or router cutting wheels in the die grinder.
❐ WARNING! DO NOT use die grinder if damaged or faulty. Contact your local service agent.
× DO NOT use die grinder unless you have been instructed in its use by a qualified person.

× DO NOT operate die grinder if you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.

Danger of Fire/Explosion Hazard
❐ WARNING! The grinding process can produce streams of sparks which are a potential source of ignition.

PREPARING TOOL FOR USE

Air Supply
❐ WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi while operating the die grinder. Too high an air pressure and unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear, and maybe dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury.
1. Ensure die grinder air valve (or trigger) is in “Off” before connecting to the air supply.
2. You will require an air pressure of 90psi, and an air flow according to specification.
3. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the die grinder.
4. Clean air inlet filter weekly.
5. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4″ internal diameter and fittings must have compatible dimensions.
6. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.
Couplings.
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the die grinder. To overcome this, connect a leader hose to the grinder (Sealey ref: AH2R or AH2R/38). A quick change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose. See fig 1 & fig

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Fitting Grinding Stone
❐ WARNING! Disconnect from the air supply before changing grinding stone.
1. Check that grinding stones are not damaged in any way such as cracks, deformations or splinters etc. Damaged stones must not be used.
2. Use the supplied spanners to loosen collet locking collar. Insert grinding stone ensuring that a minimum of 10mm gripping length is observed and re-lock collar.
Operating
❐ WARNING! Ensure you have read, understood and apply Section 1 safety instructions.
1. Connect the die grinder to the air supply as described in Section 3.
2. To start, hold firmly and push the trigger locking lever forward whilst depressing trigger.
3. The stone must be running at its maximum speed before attempting to grind the workpiece.
4. Slowly and smoothly bring the grinding stone toward the workpiece (avoid jerky movements). Exert adequate pressure on the die grinder to grind according to the type and size of the material you are working with. Avoid subjecting stone to excessive strain or harsh impacts. Always hold die grinder firmly and ease grinding stone against the workpiece. Maintain a controlled progression.
DO NOT allow die grinder to free run for an extended period of time as this will shorten its life.

MAINTENANCE

❐ WARNING! Disconnect die grinder from air supply before changing accessories, servicing or performing maintenance. Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

If air supply does not have an oiler, lubricate the air die grinder daily with a few drops of Sealey air tool oil dripped into the air inlet to prolong its life.
Clean the die grinder after use.
Loss of power or erratic action may be due to the following:
a) Excessive drain on the air line. Moisture or restriction in the air pipe. Incorrect size or type of hose connectors. To remedy check the air supply and follow instructions in Section 3.
b) Grit or gum deposits in the die grinder may also reduce performance. If your model has an air strainer (located in the area of the air inlet), remove the strainer and clean it. Flush the die grinder out with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE No 10 oil and paraffin.
Allow to dry before use.
For a full service contact your local Sealey service agent.
When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean die grinder and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.

WARNING! Risk of Hand Arm Vibration Injury.
This tool may cause Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome if its use is not managed adequately.
This tool is to be operated in accordance with these instructions.
Measured vibration emission value (a): . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.25m/s²
Uncertainty value (k):. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.61m/s²
Please note that the application of the tool to a sole specialist task may produce a different average vibration emission. We recommend that a specific evaluation of the vibration emission is conducted prior to commencing with a specialist task.
A health and safety assessment by the user (or employer) will need to be carried out to determine the suitable duration of use for each tool.
NB: Stated Vibration Emission values are type-test values and are intended to be typical. Whilst in use, the actual value will vary considerably from and depend on many factors. Such factors include; the operator, the task and the inserted tool or consumable.
NB: ensure that the length of leader hoses is sufficient to allow unrestricted use, as this also helps to reduce vibration.
The state of maintenance of the tool itself is also an important factor, a poorly maintained tool will also increase the risk of Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome.
Health surveillance. We recommend a programme of health surveillance to detect early symptoms of vibration injury so that management procedures can be modified accordingly.
Personal protective equipment.
We are not aware of any personal protective equipment (PPE) that provides protection against vibration injury that may result from the uncontrolled use of this tool. We recommend a sufficient supply of clothing (including gloves) to enable the operator to remain warm and dry and maintain good blood circulation in fingers etc. Please note that the most effective protection is prevention, please refer to the Correct Use and Maintenance section in these instructions. Guidance relating to the management of hand arm vibration can be found on the HSC website www.hse.gov.uk – Hand-Arm Vibration at Work.
