9 Use in a suitable work area. Keep area free from unrelated materials and ensure that there is adequate lighting.
9 Before each use check cutting disc for condition. If worn or damaged replace immediately.
9 Ensure that the speed rating (rpm) of the disc is the same as, or greater than, the speed rating of the cut off saw.
9 Ensure that there are no flammable or combustible materials near the work area.
WARNING! Always wear approved eye (or face) and hand protection when operating the cut-off tool.
9 Use face, dust, or respiratory protection in accordance with COSHH regulations.
9 Depending on the task, the cut-off tool noise level may exceed 98dB in which case wear safety ear defenders.
9 Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery and contain and/or tie back long hair.

9 Check moving parts alignment on a regular basis.
9 Ensure that the workpiece is secure before operating the air cut-off tool. Never hold a workpiece by hand.
9 Check the workpiece to ensure there are no protruding screws, bolts, nuts etc.
9 Avoid unintentional starting.
WARNING! Ensure correct air pressure is maintained and not exceeded. Recommended pressure 90psi
9 Keep air hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check air hose for wear before each use and ensure
9 that all connections are secure.
9 Prolonged exposure to vibration from this tool poses a health risk. It is the owner’s responsibility to correctly
9 assess the potential hazard and issue guidelines for safe periods of use and offer suitable protective equipment.
8 DO NOT use the cut-off tool for a task it is not designed to perform.
8 DO NOT operate cut-off tool if any parts are damaged or missing as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.
WARNING! DO NOT grind any materials containing asbestos.
8 DO NOT carry the cut-off tool by the hose, or yank the hose from the air supply.

8 DO NOT direct air from the air line at yourself or others.
9 When not in use disconnect from air supply and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.
DANGER OF FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
WARNING! The cutting process can produce streams of sparks which are a potential source of ignition especially when cutting metal.
8 DO NOT use the cut-off tool where there are flammable liquids, solids or gases.
8 DO NOT allow cut-off tool sparks to make contact with the operator’s clothing or any other fabric such as cleaning rags. Fabrics
contaminated with inflammable materials such as petrol, oil, grease, paint and solvents are a particular fire hazard.
9 To reduce the risk of clothing catching fire the operator should wear wool or cotton outer garments treated with a fire retardant in
preference to man-made fibres.

4. PREPARATION
4.1. AIR SUPPLY - Recommended hook-up is shown in fig 2.
4.1.1. Ensurethatthecut-otoolairvalve(orthrottle)isinthe“o”positionbeforeconnectingtotheairsupply.
4.1.2. You will require an air pressure between 70-90psi, and an air flow according to the specification above.
4.1.3. Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi while operating the cut-otool.
4.1.4. Too high an air pressure and/or unclean air will cause excessive wear, and may be dangerous, causing damage and/or personal
injury.

5.2. OPERATING
8 DO NOT apply excessive pressure, let the cutting disc do the work for you. Start the tool and bring the disc to the surface to be cut evenly
and slowly. Remove the cutting disc from the work surface before stopping the tool. Regularly check the condition of the disc and
always change if worn, cracked or otherwise damaged.
8 DO NOT run the tool away from the workpiece for extended periods as this will shorten the life of the bearings.
WARNING! Use only discs with speed ratings equal to, or higher than, the speed rating of the tool.
6. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Disconnect the tool from the air supply before changing the disc, 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. Lubricate the grinder daily with a few drops of good grade air tool oil, such as Sealey ATO/500 or ATO/1000, dripped into the air inlet
before use or dispensed automatically through an air system oiler, such as Sealey model SA106L or SA2001/L.
6.2. Clean the tool after use and change the disc when worn or damaged.
6.3. Loss of power or erratic action may be due to the following:
a) Excessive drain on the air supply. Moisture or restriction in the air line. 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 tool may also reduce performance. Flush the tool with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE
No 10 oil and kerosene. Allow to dry before use.
6.4. If you continue to experience problems, contact your local Sealey service agent.

WARNING! – Risk of Hand Arm Vibration Injury.
This tool may cause Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome if its use is not adequately managed.
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.
This tool has been tested in accordance with: EN ISO 28927-1:2009 & BS EN ISO 15744:2008.
Declaration and verification of Vibration Emission figures are in accordance with EN 12096:1997
Measured vibration emission value (a): 2.1 m/s²
Uncertainty value(k): 0.08 m/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 factors include; 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.
Health surveillance.
We recommend a programme of health surveillance to detect early symptoms of vibration injury so that management procedures can be modified
accordingly.
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.
