Intended Use; Air Supply - SIOUX SAG03S Serie Manuel D'utilisation

Poorly maintained and lubricated tools can fail unexpectedly.
Keep tool properly lubricated and in good repair at all times. Use only Sioux Air Motor Oil No. 288. See the tool's information
sheet to find out what other greases and oils to use. Do not drop the end of the hose on the floor where it will pick up dirt and
transport it into the tool. See information sheet for any additional maintenance requirements.
Unexpected tool failures can cause injury.
Damaged grinding wheels can explode.
Check the wheel for damage before mounting, such as chips and cracks. Handle wheels carefully to avoid dropping or bumping.
Protect wheels from extremes of temperature and humidity. Check wheels immediately after any unusual occurrence that may
damage wheels. Check wheels daily. Hold tool under bench or provide other protection when starting up a new wheel, a used
wheel that has been remounted, or at the beginning of an operation. Run at operating speed in this protected area for at least
one minute before applying to the work. No one shall stand in front of or in line with the wheel during this test.
Exploding wheels can cause serious injury or death.
Collets, nuts and related equipment in poor shape or not the proper ones for the wheel or tool used can cause wheels to malfunction.
Grinding wheels not properly tightened can spin off.
Be certain that all collets, nuts and related equipment are in good shape, the proper ones for the type and size of wheel being
used, and are securely fastened. Tighten collet securely. Match wheel or accessory shaft diameter to chuck or collet.
Grinding wheels that malfunction and spin off can cause injury.
Air hoses can come loose from power tools and whip.
Inspect and do not use tools with loose or damaged air hoses or fittings.
Whipping air hoses can cause injury.
Abnormal sounding or excessively vibrating grinders can indicate a hazard that could cause wheel to explode.
If the normal sound of the grinder changes, or if it vibrates excessively, shut it off immediately, remove the wheel, and check
speed with tachometer. Tool could be overspeeding or the wheel could be damaged or not mounted properly.
Exploding wheels can cause injury or death.
Air hoses that are not oil resistant or are not rated for the working pressure can burst.
Make sure that all air hoses are oil resistant and rated for the working pressure.
Air hoses that burst can cause injury.
Tools not operated at proper air pressure can operate erratically.
Do not exceed a maximum air pressure of 90 psig/6.2 bar or as stated on the tool's nameplate or operating instructions. Use an
air regulator to maintain proper air pressure.
Erratic operation in power tools can cause injury.

Misused tools can cause injury.
Tools with the actuator left in the "ON" position when an unexpected air pressure loss occurs can start unexpectedly when the air
pressure is restored.
Release the actuator if an unexpected loss of air pressure occurs.
Unexpected tool starts can cause injury.
Grinders with the actuator left in the "on" position can cause unexpected starts when the tool is connected to the air supply.
Be sure actuator is off before hooking up air.
Unexpected starts can cause injury.
Grinders may coast for a short time after the trigger is released.
Be sure tool has come to a complete stop before setting it aside.
Grinders that do not come to a complete stop before setting aside can cause injury.
Cut off wheels or router bits are not rated for the high speed of die grinders and could explode or fly apart.
Do not use cut off wheels or router bits with die grinders.
Exploding or flying parts can cause injury.
