Operation Overview
To complete a typical cutting or grinding operation:
1.Secure the workpiece in a vise.
2.Remove all combustibles, flammable materials, and ignition hazards from the area.
3.Verify the cutter or grinding bit is free of chips or cracks, and install it if it is safe to use.
4.Put on safety goggles, a face shield, and respirator.
5.Make sure that the grinder trigger is in the fully released position (fully out).
6.Place a few drops of air tool oil into the air supply inlet, and connect the grinder to the air supply.
7.Hold the grinder body with both hands, stabilize your body and hands against a fixed object. Next position the grinding bit next to the workpiece.
8.Slowly press the trigger, and carefully feed the cutter or grinding bit into the workpiece. Apply just enough force to remove material while maintaining a high tool RPM.
—If tool hop or vibration makes the grinder hard to control, adjust the throttle valve screw (see Figure 1) to reduce grinder RPM.
9.When finished, or if leaving the area, disconnect the grinder from air, and store it away from children.
