performance of the tool while higher
air pressure (over 90 PSI) raises the
performance of the tool beyond its
rated capacity and could cause serious
damage to tool and user.
Always use clean dry air.
Excessive moisture and
dirt will greatly reduce the life of any air motor.
We recommend the installation of an
inline filter-regulator-lubricator as
close to the tool as possible.
Pre-Operation
Before the tool is connected to the air
supply, clean the air hose of
accumulated dust and moisture. Before
removing a tool for service or changing
accessories, make sure the air line is
shutoff and drained of air. This will
prevent the tool from operating if the
throttle is accidentally engaged.
Operation
1.
Supply tool with 90 PSI of
clean, dry air. Higher pressure
drastically reduces tool life. Connect
tool to air line using pipe, hose and
fitting sizes shown in Figure 2.
Do not install a quick coupler
directly into the grinder throttle
handle.

Operating Hazards.
Never mount a grinding wheel, cut
off wheel or router cutter on a die
grinder or tire buffer. A grinding
wheel or other accessory that
bursts can cause very serious injury
or death.
Grinding accessory's rated speed
must be equal to or greater than
the speed of the die grinder.
Use only mounted wheels or tire
buffing accessories with adequate
speed rating and the correct shaft

diameter.
Do not use wire brushes, drill bits,
or any other accessory other than
mounted wheels, burrs and tire
buffing accessories.
Damaged, worn or incorrectly
mounted accessories can cause
higher vibration. To reduce
exposures to vibration ensure
burring tools are sharp and this tool
and all accessories are in proper
working condition.
Ensure that the workpiece is
properly supported.
Avoid direct contact with rotating
spindle and accessory to prevent
cutting of hands or other body
parts. Wear gloves to help protect
hands. Tool continues to run after
the throttle lever has been released.
Do not disable the lock off feature
on the throttle lever.
This tool and its accessories must
not be modified.
Operators and maintenance
personnel must be physically able to
handle the power of the tool and
capable of performing the job task.
Always wear impact-resistant eye
and face protection when involved
with or near the operation, repair
or maintenance of the tool or
changing accessories on the tool.
Gloves and protective clothing are
recommended.
Even small projectiles can injure
eyes and cause blindness.
Be sure all others in the area are
wearing impact-resistant eye and
face protection.
Measure the air tool speed daily
with a tachometer to make sure it is
not greater than the RPM marked
on the grinding accessory.
Maximize the gripping length of
the accessory, it must not be less
than .390 in. (10mm). Increased

Air Supply and Connection
3.
Hazards.
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 serious
injury. Always check for damaged
or loose hoses and fittings.
Do not use quick disconnect
couplings at tool. See Figure 2
for correct set-up.
Whenever universal twist couplings
are used, lock pins must be
installed.
Do not exceed maximum
air pressure of 90 PSI
Maintenance
Lubrication
Use an air line lubricator with Mobll
Almo 525 air tool oil (model 4ZF22),
adjusted to two (2) drops per minute. If
an air line lubricator can not be used,
add air motor oil to the inlet once a
day.
