• Ensure that the accessory is fitted correctly and securely before use. Run the
machine with the accessory fitted, but without load, for a reasonable time
before attempting to cut/grind. If excessive vibration occurs, stop the machine,
investigate and correct the cause before use. Seek professional guidance if you
are in doubt about how to operate the machine safely
• All accessories must be checked before installation. If an accessory is damaged
in any way, such as by being chipped, fractured, warped or misshapen, DO NOT
USE AND DISCARD. If you are unsure about whether an accessory is safe to
operate, DO NOT USE AND DISCARD
• Always ensure that accessories are suitable to use. Check the expiry date on
the label. Resin-based accessories CANNOT SAFELY BE USED beyond their
expiry date
• Do not allow accessories to become wet or contaminated with oil. If you suspect
that an accessory has degraded in storage, or if you are unsure about whether
its expiry date has passed, DO NOT USE AND DISCARD
• Do not attempt to cut or grind magnesium or any alloy that has high
magnesium content
• Hold the machine appropriately to ensure that debris produced does not land
on skin or clothing
• Accessories will continue to rotate for some time after the machine has been
switched off. Allow the moving parts to stop completely without interference. Do
not try to stop the machine by holding an object against the disc. NEVER place
the grinder down until the accessory has completely stopped moving
• Every accessory will gradually wear down during use, reducing its size. If it
becomes too small to work with easily, stop using it and replace it with a new
accessory
Note: Be aware of paint finishes or treatments that may have been applied to the
material that is being worked on. Many treatments can create dust that is toxic, or
otherwise harmful. If working on a building constructed prior to 1960, there is an
increased chance of encountering lead-based paints.
WARNING: The dust produced when grinding objects painted with lead-based
paints is particularly hazardous to children, pregnant women, and people with high
blood pressure. Do not allow these people near to the work area, even if wearing
appropriate personal protective equipment.

Fitting the quick connector

EQ-4
Europe
• Please choose the connector that is compatible with the airline system you are
using, and install as outlined below:
1. Apply some PTFE tape (not included) to the screw threads of the Quick
Connector (4). This will help to maintain an air tight seal
Note: Apply PTFE tape tightly and in a clockwise direction, so it does not come off
when the thread is screwed into the tool.
2. Remove the protective plug from the air inlet
3. Using a spanner (not included) screw the quick connector into the air inlet
located at the base of the handle
4. Connect to airline, pressurise carefully and carry out a leak check (e.g. by
spraying small amounts of soapy water on to the outside of the connectors)
• Air lines fitted with matching female quick connectors will now be a push fit
