Operating Instructions
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT
SAFETY INFORMATION section at the
beginning of this manual including
all text under subheadings therein
before set up or use of this product.
Inspect tool before use, looking
for damaged, loose, and missing
parts. If any problems are found,
do not use tool until repaired.
Tool Set Up
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM
ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Turn off the tool, detach the air supply, safely
discharge any residual air pressure in the tool,
and release the throttle and/or turn the switch to
its off position before performing any inspection,
maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
Do not adjust or tamper with any control or
component in a way not specically explained
within this manual. Improper adjustment can
result in tool failure or other serious hazards.
1. Use the Wrench to hold the Spindle in place while,
at the same time, loosening and removing the
Socket Head Screw and Flange with the Hex Key.

2. Place the cutting wheel (not included) onto
the Spindle. The wheel must be rated to at
least the maximum speed of the cutter and
must be smaller than its wheel size capacity.
See included specication sheet.
3. Use the Wrench to hold the Spindle in place.
4. Insert the Socket Head Screw through the Flange,
through the cutting wheel, and into the Spindle.
5. Tighten the Socket Head Screw into
the Spindle with the Hex Key.
Work Piece and
Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the air hose along a safe route to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard
or exposing the air hose to possible damage.
The air hose must be long enough to reach
the work area with enough extra length to
allow free movement while working.
3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be hazardous objects (such
as utility lines or foreign objects) nearby that
will present a hazard while working.
General Operating Instructions
1. If an automatic oiler is not used, add a few
drops of Pneumatic Tool Oil to the airline
connection before use. Add a few drops
more after each hour of continual use.
2. Mark the workpiece area where you wish to cut.
3. With both hands, grip the Air Cutter so that your
thumbs rest on the Throttle and Safety Lock.
4. Keep the cutting wheel off the surface of the
workpiece until it reaches operating speed.
5. Press the Safety Lock forward while
pressing down on the Throttle.
NOTE: The Air Cutter’s speed is variable.
Vary the pressure placed on the Throttle to
vary the speed of the tool. Use only enough
speed as needed to cut the workpiece.
6. Slowly and carefully place the edge of the cutting
wheel onto the surface of the workpiece.
7. Keep steady pressure on the Air Cutter. But do not
force the tool, as you will stall the Air Cutter. Use
only enough pressure to do the job properly.
8. If the tool requires more force to accomplish
the task, verify that the tool receives sufcient,
unobstructed airow (CFM) and increase the
pressure (PSI) output of the regulator up to the
maximum air pressure rating of this tool.
CAUTION! TO PREVENT INJURY FROM TOOL
OR ACCESSORY FAILURE:
Do not exceed the tool’s
maximum air pressure rating.
If the tool still does not have sufcient force
at maximum pressure and sufcient airow,
then a larger tool may be required.
