INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION
FIRST , follow your local safety regulations strictly on grinders and abrasives.
Ensure that the RPM of the grinder does not exceed the rated max.
RPM of the wheel .
Remove the wheel before checking
the RPM of the grinder.
Make sure that the rated speed
marking on the tool is readable.
Ensure that the wheel is the correct fit for the grinder and
that it is not damaged or worn.
The wheel should have correct
hole dimensions and fit
securely on the spindle.
Check that the flange and
wheel combination correspond
to national regulations.
After mounting the wheel, operate the grinder in a
protected area to check that no
failure occurs.
Keep the space around the
grinder free from other people.
Use the recommended wheel guard. Ensure that it is not damaged and
that the mountings are secure.
Never use a grinder without the
wheel guard when the grinder
wheel requires one.
The ANSI B7.1 safety code specifies
that the grinding wheel must be
used with a protective guard. Always
use the wheel guard furnished with
the grinder. Obtain a suitable guard
from the manufacturer if you change
the type of wheel being used.
Use personal protection equipment.
Avoid inhaling dust resulting
from the grinding operation by
using an approved dust mask
or dust exhaust system.
When using wire brushes, wear
goggles and clothing that offer
protection from the thrown
wires.
Ensure that pressure does not exceep 90 PSIG. Use a
pressure regulator.
Keep loose clothing and long hair clear of the grinder. Beware of run-on. Do not touch the tool, after turning it off, until it has stopped completely.
Turn off air supply before changing wheel or disconnecting hose. Beware of whipping air hose.
AIR HOSE SIZE: AI R PRESSURE: 90 PSI (6.5 kg/cm 2) Air Pressure is recommended for the most efficient performance. Too high of air pressure will shorten the life of the tool. FOR AIR MOTOR: Apply turbine oil before and after operation. (For example, MOBIL TURBINE OIL #32, SHELL TURBINE OIL #32, or equivalent.) FOR BEARINGS: Apply recommended high-quality grease properly (for example, SHELL ALVANIA NO.2, SHELL ALVANIAEP, MOBILPLEX 2, MOBILPLEX 47 or equivalent) once every three months. Lubrication should be performed by competent personnel during regular overhaul to maintain optimum performance. FOR ANGLE GEARS: Apply recommended high- quality grease pr operly (for example, SHELL ALVANIA NO.2, SHELL ALVANIAEP, MOBILPLEX 2, MOBILPLEX 47 or equivalent) once per month when used on single shift basis. Lubrication interval should be more frequent with multi -shift usage. Lubrication should be made through visible fitting. Excessive amounts of grease will cause slowing and/or overheating. DRY AND CLEAN AIR: Drain daily and install filter at or near the take- off point to prevent trouble from foreign matter. AIR HOSE AND JOINTS: Use air hose (the shorter, the better), joints , and other fittings of good condition and of proper size to avoid pressure drop. REGULAR OVERHAUL: At least once every three months , regular or periodical overhaul by a competent person is needed for best performance and trouble- free operation. GENUINE PARTS: Use only AIMCO genuine spare parts for replacement. Any r epair of AIMCO tools must be completed by AIMCO or an authorized AIMCO Service Center. Contact AIMCO at (503) 254- 6600 for an authorized Service Center in your area.
