1. SAFETY
1.1. GENERAL SAFETY
9 Follow all workshop Health & Safety rules, regulations, and conditions when using tool.
WARNING! Disconnect from air supply before changing grinding bit or servicing.
9 Maintain die grinder in good condition and replace any damaged or worn parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be
dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
WARNING! Check correct air pressure is maintained and not exceeded. We recommend 80psi.
9 Keep air hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check air hose for wear before each use and ensure that all connections are secure.
WARNING! Before each use check grinding bit is secure, and the bit is not worn or damaged, if damaged, replace immediately.
9 Ensure replacement grinding bits are not damaged (cracks, deformations or splinters etc).
9 Always use the correct grinding bit suitable for the material being ground. Ensure the maximum speed specification of the bit is higher
than that indicated on the machine data plate.
WARNING! Always wear approved eye or face protection when operating the die grinder.
9 Use breathing protection in accordance with COSHH regulations if fumes or dust pose a hazard.
9 Wear ear defenders and safety gloves.
9 Keep hands and body clear of the workpiece when operating the die grinder.
9 Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
9 Secure unstable workpiece with a clamp, vice or other adequate holding device.
9 Keep children and non essential persons away from the working area.
9 Avoid subjecting grinding bit to excessive strain, always ease grinding bit against workpiece (a harsh impact may break the bit). Maintain
a controlled progression.
8 DO NOT get the die grinder wet or use in damp or wet locations.
8 DO NOT hold the workpiece by hand. Use clamps or a vice to secure the workpiece.
8 DO NOT use the die grinder for a task it is not designed to perform.
WARNING! DO NOT use die grinder if damaged or faulty. Contact your local service agent.
8 DO NOT use die grinder unless you have been instructed in its use by a qualified person.
8 DO NOT carry the die grinder by the air hose, or yank the hose from the air supply.
8 DO NOT direct air from the air hose at yourself or others.
WARNING! DO NOT grind any materials containing asbestos.
8 DO NOT turn the die grinder on whilst the grinding bit is in contact with the workpiece.
8 DO NOT use die grinder where there are flammable liquids, solids or gases such as paint solvents, including waste wiping or cleaning
rags etc. as generated sparks may be dangerous.
8 DO NOT touch the workpiece close to the ground surface as it will be very hot. Allow to cool. The workpiece may also be very sharp.
8 DO NOT operate die grinder if you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
9 When not in use disconnect from air supply and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.
1.2. HAND ARM VIBRATION
WARNING! – Risk of Hand Arm Vibration Injury.
This tool may cause Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome if its use is not managed adequately.
This tool is subject to the vibration testing section of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
This tool is to be operated in accordance with these instructions.
Measured vibration emission value (a): 1.079m/s²
Uncertainty value (k): 0.602m/s²
Please note that the application of the tool to a sole specialist task may produce a different average vibration emission. We recommend
that a specific evaluation of the vibration emission is conducted prior to commencing with a specialist task.
A health and safety assessment by the user (or employer) will need to be carried out to determine the suitable duration of use for each
tool.
NB: Stated Vibration Emission values are type-test values and are intended to be typical.
Whilst in use, the actual value will vary considerably from and depend on many factors, such as the operator, the task and the inserted
tool or consumable.
NB: ensure that the length of leader hoses is sufficient to allow unrestricted use, as this also helps to reduce vibration.
The state of maintenance of the tool itself is also an important factor, a poorly maintained tool will also increase the risk of Hand Arm
Vibration Syndrome.

1.3. HEALTH SURVEILLANCE
We recommend a programme of health surveillance to detect early symptoms of vibration injury so that management procedures can be
modified accordingly.
1.4. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
We are not aware of any personal protective equipment (PPE) that provides protection against vibration injury that may result from the
uncontrolled use of this tool. We recommend a sufficient supply of clothing (including gloves) to enable the operator to remain warm and
dry and maintain good blood circulation in fingers etc. Please note that the most effective protection is prevention, please refer to the
Correct Use and Maintenance section in these instructions. Guidance relating to the management of hand arm vibration can be found on
the HSC website www.hse.gov.uk - Hand-Arm Vibration at Work.
2. INTRODUCTION

4. PREPARATION
4.1. AIR SUPPLY
4.1.1. Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig 1.
WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 80psi while operating the die grinder. Too high an air pressure and
unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear, and may be dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury.
4.1.2. Ensure die grinder air valve (or trigger) is in “off” position before connecting to the air supply.
4.1.3. You will require an air pressure of 80psi, and an air flow according to specification.
IMPORTANT: Drain the compressor’s air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the die grinder.
4.1.4. Clean the compressor’s air inlet filter weekly.
4.1.5. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).The minimum hose diameter should be
1/4” I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
4.1.6. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear and make certain that all connections are secure.
4.2. COUPLINGS
4.2.1. Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the die grinder. To overcome this, connect a leader hose
to the grinder. A quick change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose. See g’s 1 & 2.
5. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure you have read, understood and apply safety instructions.
5.1. Connect the die grinder to the air supply.
5.2. To start, hold firmly and push the trigger locking lever forward whilst depressing trigger.
5.3. The bit must be running at its maximum speed before attempting to grind the workpiece.
5.4. Slowly and smoothly bring the grinding stone toward the workpiece (avoid jerky movements).
5.5. Exert adequate pressure on the die grinder to grind according to the type and size of the material you are working with. Avoid subjecting
stone to excessive strain or harsh impacts.
5.6. Always hold die grinder firmly and ease grinding stone against workpiece. Maintain a controlled adequate progression.
5.7. CHANGING GRINDING STONES
WARNING! Disconnect from the air supply before changing grinding stone.
5.7.1. Check that grinding stones are not damaged in any way such as cracks, deformations or splinters etc. Damaged stones must not be
used.
5.7.2. Use wrenches provided to loosen collet locking collar. Insert grinding bit and re-lock collar.
8 DO NOT allow die grinder to free run for an extended period of time as this will shorten its life.

6. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Disconnect die grinder from air supply before changing accessories, servicing or performing maintenance. Replace or repair
damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
6.1. If the air supply does not have an oiler, lubricate the air die grinder daily with a few drops of Sealey air die grinder oil dripped into the
air inlet to prolong its life.
6.2. Clean the die grinder after use.
6.3. Loss of power or erratic action may be due to the following:
a) Excessive drain on the air line. Moisture or restriction in the air pipe. Incorrect size or type of hose connectors. To remedy check the
air supply and follow instructions in section 4.
b) Grit or gum deposits in the die grinder may also reduce performance. If your model has an air strainer (located in the area of the air
inlet), remove the strainer and clean it. Flush the die grinder out with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE No 10 oil and
paraffin. Allow to dry before use.
6.4. For a full service contact your local Sealey service agent.
6.5. When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean die grinder and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.
