Mounting of Abrasive Equipment

WARNING

Compressed air can cause serious injury

Always shut off the air supply, drain hose of air pressure and disconnect the tool from air supply; when not in use, before making any adjustments to the product - for example changing accessories, or when making repairs.

WARNING

Risk of Serious Injury or Death

Wrong abrasive wheel can burst and cause serious injury or death.

Use an abrasive wheel with a permitted speed higher than or equal to the air grinder speed.
Do not use any other abrasive wheels than specified by the manufacturer. See Section Design and function.

Use only recommended sizes and types of abrasives.
Do not use mounting wheels that are chipped or cracked, or may have been dropped.
Correct mounting is necessary to prevent injury from broken mounted wheels.
Do not fit a wheel soaked in any fluid.
Grinding wheels should be a free fit but not loose on the spindle to prevent stress at the hole. Do not use reducing bushes to fit large hole grinding wheels.
Attach wheel with flanges conforming to international standard and in good condition.
Flanges shall be clean, have a flat contact surface and be without cracks and burrs.
Do not use unauthorised bushings or adaptors to attach large hole abrasive wheels.
Use blotters when delivered with the grinding wheel.
Do not mismatch wheel- and spindle thread.
Spindle and spindle threads shall be without damage or wear.
Mount the wheel correctly and tighten to recommended torque to prevent that the wheel falls off when the air grinder is stopped.
Do a test run of every new mounted wheel in a safe position for 30 seconds. Use a barrier such as under a heavy work table to stop any possible broken wheel parts. Stop immediately if vibration is excessive
