Safety and operating instructions
■
When fitting mounted wheels or burrs, reduce the overhang by pushing the shank all the way into the
collet (Check also the recommendations given by the tool manufacturer)
■
Observe that increased overhang of shank reduces permissible speed
■
Before starting the machine, check that the collet is properly tightened
■
Test run every new mounted wheel in a safe position for 30 seconds. Be sure to use a barrier (such
as under a heavy work table) to stop any possible broken wheel parts. Stop immediately if vibration is
excessive
Correct working with the die grinder
Read the Section Safety instructions before using the die grinder.
WARNING Failure to follow correct working practices can result in serious injury or death
Ensure that the workpiece is properly supported
►
Ensure that sparks do not cause a hazard to people or materials
►
There is a risk of electrostatic discharge if the tool is used on plastic and other non-conductive
►
materials
Personal protective equipment must be used as described in Section Personal protective equip-

walking or work surface
Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. Hidden hazards may exist, such as electric or other
►
utility lines
Maintain a balanced body position and firm footing
►
React quickly to excessive vibration due to damaged, or improperly mounted insert tool
►
Keep away from rotating drive spindle and abrasives. Rotation may continue for several seconds

after the throttle has been released. Do not lay the tool down until rotation has stopped
Observe that stored compressed air in the hose may cause an accidental start

Maintenance
Rust protection and internal cleaning
Water in the compressed air, dust and wear particles cause rust and sticking of vanes, valves etc.
This can be solved by lubricating with oil (a few drops), running the machine for 5-10 seconds and wiping
off excess oil with a cloth. Do this before longer standstills.
