It must be checked that the maximum operating speed of the machine tool is higher
than the nominal speed of the machine.

It must be checked that the hook&loop abrasive sheets can be affixed concentrically
to the mounting plate.

Hazards in the work environment

Slipping, tripping and falling are the main causes of injuries at the workplace. Keep in
mind that surfaces may have become slippery during machine use, and remember
tripping hazards caused by the air or hydraulic hose.

Proceed with caution in unfamiliar surroundings. There may be hidden dangers due
to electrical cables or other supply lines.

This machine for grinding and sawing is not suitable for use in explosive
environments and is not insulated against contact with electrical power sources.
Therefore, it may not come into contact with electrical power sources!

Verify that there are no electrical lines, gas lines, etc. that may result in a hazard in
the event of them becoming damaged during machine use.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PNEUMATIC MACHINERY

Compressed air can result in serious injuries.

Always close the air supply, release pressure from the hose, and disconnect the
machine from the compressed air supply, when the machine is not in use, before
switching accessories or when performing repairs.

Never aim the air flow at yourself or others.

Hoses flapping about can result in serious injuries. Therefore always inspect hoses
and their fasteners for damage and a secure fit.

If using universal swivel couplings (coupling discs) always use locking pins and use
whip-check hose safety cables for protection in the event the connection between the
hose and the machine or in between hoses fails.

Ensure not to exceed the maximum pressure specified on the machine.

Never carry pneumatic tools by the hose.

AIR SUPPLY

En

sure air valve (or trigger) is in the “off” position before connecting to the air supply.

Item will require air pressure of 90psi, and air flow according to specification.

Drain the air tank daily.

Clean air inlet filter weekly.

Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over
8 meters). The hose diameter should be 3/8

” I.D.

Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make
certain that all connections are secure.

LUBRICATION

An automatic in-line filter-regulator-lubricator is recommended (Fig 1) as it increases tool
life and keeps the tool in sustained operation. The in-line lubricator should be regularly
checked and filled with air tool oil.
Proper adjustment of the in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet of paper next to
the exhaust ports and holding the throttle open approximately 30 seconds. The lubricator
is properly set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil
should be avoided.
