allowing free disc rotation.
Manually rotate the disc a few times to ensure that the disc
rotates smoothly and without jams.
The tool is ready to be connected to a pneumatic system.
Setting the rotation direction (VI)
Warning! Before changing the direction of rotation, make
sure that the disc has stopped spinning and that the tool is
disconnected from the power supply.
The tool has a switch for changing the direction of rotation.
This allows sparks generated during cutting to be directed in
the opposite direction. Turn the switch as far as possible in the
direction marked "F" - clockwise, or as far as possible in the
direction marked "R" - counter-clockwise rotations. Setting the
knob in the intermediate position may prevent the cutter from
starting. Always turn the knob as far as possible.
Warning! If the disc has a certain direction of rotation, e.g.
marked with an arrow on the disc, make sure that the switch
is set so that the disc rotates in the direction specifi ed for it.
Connecting the tool to the pneumatic system
The fi gure shows the recommended way to connect the tool to
the pneumatic system. This will ensure the most effi cient use of
the tool and also prolong the tool's service life.
Apply a few drops of SAE 10 viscous oil into the air inlet.
If the tool is equipped with a rotation reversing switch, set the
correct direction of rotation.
Wherever possible, adjust the pressure (torque).
Connect the tool to the pneumatic system using a hose with an
internal diameter of 10 mm / 3/8". Make sure the hose has a
durability of at least 1.38 MPa. (III)
Make sure that the inserted tool is not in contact with any
object, then run the tool for a few seconds to make sure that
no suspicious sounds or vibrations are coming from the tool.
Starting and stopping the tool
Caution! Before starting the pneumatic tool, make sure that
the mounted inserted tool does not come into contact with any
object or any body part.
The tool is operated by means of a lever which opens the air
valve and thus ensures the supply of compressed air to the
tool drive. If the lever is equipped with a lock that prevents the
lever from being accidentally pressed. Turn the lock, so that it
is parallel to the lever, and then pull the lever towards the tool
housing. This will start the tool. Allow the tool to reach its rated
speed and only then start working.
Working with the cutter
Do not use the cutting blade for side grinding. Allow the blade
to run at full speed before starting to cut. Apply only the rotating
blade to the material. When cutting, apply only the same
pressure to the tool as is required for cutting the workpiece
Excessive pressure can damage the cutting blade, which
increases the risk of injury.
Securely clamp the workpiece to prevent accidental movement
during machining. The clamping should also ensure that the
gap created during the cutting process maintains the same
width or opens. When cutting large workpieces, a clamp or
support must be used on both sides of the cutting line. The
workpiece to be cut shall be supported near the cutting line and

the edge. This ensures that parts of the workpiece to be cut do
not collapse in such a way as to cause a jamming of the blade
when cutting.
During operation, sparks can form and fragments of the
workpiece can tear off . Make sure that sparks and loose parts
do not endanger the workplace.
MAINTENANCE
Never use petrol, solvent, or any other fl ammable liquid to clean
the tool. Vapours may ignite, causing the explosion of the tool
and serious injury.
The solvents used to clean the tool holder and the body may
soften the seals. Thoroughly dry the tool before starting work.
If you notice any malfunction of the tool, immediately disconnect
the tool from the pneumatic system.
All components of the pneumatic system shall be protected
against contamination. Contaminants entering the pneumatic
system can damage the tool and other components of the
pneumatic system.
Maintenance of the tool before each use
Disconnect the tool from the pneumatic system.
Before each use, introduce a small amount of preservative (e.g.
WD-40) through the air inlet.
Connect the tool to the pneumatic system and run it for approx.
30 seconds. This will allow you to spread the preservative
through the inside of the tool and clean it.
Disconnect the tool from the compressed air system again.
Insert a small amount of SAE 10 oil into the tool via the air
inlet opening and the holes designed for that purpose. The use
of SAE 10 is recommended for the maintenance of pneumatic
tools. Connect the tool and run it briefl y.
Caution! WD-40 cannot be used as a proper lubricating oil.
Wipe off any excess oil that may have escaped through the
outlet openings. The oil left can damage the tool seals.
Other maintenance activities
Before each use of the tool, make sure that there are no signs
of damage to the tool. Keep drivers, tool holders and spindles
clean.
Have the tool inspected by a qualifi ed workshop personnel
every 6 months or after 100 operating hours. If the tool has
been used without the recommended air supply, increase the
inspection intervals of the tool.
Removing defects
Stop using the tool as soon as you detect any defect. Use of a
defective tool may result in injury. Any repairs or replacements
to the tool components must be carried out by qualifi ed
personnel at an authorised repair shop.
