Additional Safety Instructions
for Pneumatic Power Tools
• Air under pressure can cause severe injury:
• Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and disconnect tool
from air supply when not in use, before changing accessories or when
making repairs
• Never direct air at yourself or anyone else
• Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always check for damaged or
loose hoses and fittings
• Whenever universal twist couplings (claw couplings) are used, lock
pins should be installed and whipcheck safety cables should be used
to safeguard against possible hose-to-tool or hose-to-hose connection
failure
• Do not exceed the maximum air pressure stated on the tool
• Never carry an air tool by the hose
Grinding Tool Safety
• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment. When using a
grinder, adequate eye protection, ear defenders and breathing protection
must be worn
• Reset the guard if the work angle or the position of the person operating
the machine changes. Seek professional guidance if you are unsure
how to operate the guards or any other safety features of the machine
correctly
• DO NOT operate a grinder without the appropriate guards in place
• Grinding tool accessories must be mounted, used and stored in
compliance with the manufacturer’s recommendations
• Only use cutting discs in the size stated in this instruction manual.
Attempting to use any other accessory or attachment is extremely
dangerous and could lead to serious injury
• Use the correct type of cutting disc for the task and material being
worked on. Check the label on the disc or accessory to find out if it is
appropriate to use on the workpiece
• The maximum speed of the cutting disc or other accessory must always
be higher than the maximum speed of the machine on which they are
mounted
• Do not use any form of spacers or adapters in an attempt to make an
incorrectly sized disc fit your machine
• Ensure that the cutting disc is fitted correctly and securely before use.
Run the machine with the disc or accessory fitted, but without load,
for a reasonable time before attempting to cut. If excessive vibration
occurs, stop the machine, investigate and correct the cause before use.
Seek professional guidance if you are in doubt about how to operate the
machine safely
• All discs and accessories must be checked before installation. If a disc
is damaged in any way, such as by being chipped, fractured, warped or
misshapen, DO NOT USE AND DISCARD. If you are unsure about whether
a disc is safe to operate, DO NOT USE AND DISCARD
• Always ensure that accessories are suitable to use. Check the expiry
date on the label. Resin-based cutting discs CANNOT SAFELY BE USED
beyond their expiry date
• Do not allow discs to become wet or contaminated with oil. If you
suspect that a disc has degraded in storage, or if you are unsure about
whether its expiry date has passed, DO NOT USE AND DISCARD
• Do not attempt to cut magnesium or any alloy that has high magnesium
content
• Do not attempt to make cuts that exceed the maximum cutting depth
of the disc
• Hold the machine appropriately to ensure that debris produced does not
land on skin or clothing

Product Familiarisation
• Discs will continue to rotate for some time after the machine has
been switched off. Allow the moving parts to stop completely without
interference. Do not try to stop the machine by holding an object against
the disc. NEVER place the grinder down until the disc has completely
stopped moving
• A grinding disc will gradually wear down during use, reducing its size. If
a disc becomes too small to work with easily, stop using it and replace
it with a new disc
