if discomfort, tingling feeling or pain occurs.
Seek medical advice before resuming use.

• Correct grinding wheel mounting is necessary
to prevent injury from broken wheels. Do not
use chipped or cracked grinding wheels.
Grinding wheels should be a free fit on the
spindle to prevent stress at the hole. Use only
wheel collars that come with the grinder for
mounting the grinding wheel. Flat washers or
other adapters may over stress the wheel.
Always use heavy paper blotter discs between
the wheel collars and the grinding wheel.
Tighten the wheel on the spindle to prevent spin
off when the air grinder is turned off.

liquids such as kerosene, diesel or jet fuel.
