6. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or  
attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool. There are certain  
applications for which this tool was designed. Do not modify this tool and do  
not use this tool for a purpose for which it was not intended.  
7. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught  
in moving parts. Protective, electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid  
footwear are recommended when working. Wear restrictive hair covering to  
contain long hair.  
8. Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety  
goggles. Wear a full face shield if you are producing metal filings or wood  
chips. Wear an ANSI approved dust mask or respirator when working around  
metal, wood, and chemical dusts and mists.  
9. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not  
reach over or across running machines.  
10. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer  
performance. Follow instructions for changing accessories. Inspect tool  
cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized  
technician. The handles must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and  
grease at all times.  
11. Disconnect when not in use. Disconnect tool from air compressor hose  
when not in use.  
12. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check that keys and adjusting  
wrenches are removed from the tool or machine work surface before plugging  
it in.  
13. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the switch is in the Off position when  
not in use and before plugging in.  
14. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate  
any tool when you are tired.  
15. Take caution as some woods contain preservatives such as copper  
chromium arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic. When working with these  
materials extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and minimize skin  
contact.  
16. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears  
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate  
properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment and binding of  
moving parts, and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any  
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified  
technician. Do not use the tool if any switch does not turn On and Off  
properly.

17. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces  
such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.  
18. Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical  
replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use  
accessories intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are  
available from Harbor Freight Tools.  
19. Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read  
warning labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes are  
impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the tool.  
20. Use proper size and type extension cord. If an extension cord is required  
for an air compressor, it must be of the proper size and type to supply the  
correct current to the tool without heating up. Otherwise, the extension cord  
could melt and catch fire, or cause electrical damage to the tool.This tool  
requires use of an extension cord of 0 to 10 amps capability (up to 50 feet),  
with wire size rated at 18 AWG. Longer extension cords require larger size  
wire. If you are using the air compressor outdoors, use an extension cord  
rated for outdoor use. (signified by “WA” on the jacket).  
21. Maintenance. For your safety, service and maintenance should be performed  
regularly by a qualified technician.  
22. Use clean, dry, regulated, compressed air at 90 PSI. Do not exceed the  
recommended 90 PSI. Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases  
or any other bottled gas as a power source for these tools.  
Note: Performance of this tool (if powered by line voltage) may vary depending on  
variations in local line voltage. Extension cord usage may also affect tool perfor-  
mance.  
Warning: This product contains or produces a chemical known to the State of  
California to cause cancer and birth defects (or other reproductive harm). (Cali-  
fornia Health & Safety Code § 25249.5 et seq.).  
Warning: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruc-  
tion manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may oc-  
cur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are  
factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the  
operator.

the cover of this manual.  
Angle  
Grinder  
Air Connection  
Note: Air Compressor is not supplied. You will need an Air Compressor with a  
minimum rating of One Horsepower, 6 CFM delivery at 90 PSI, and a 12 Gallon Air  
Tank.  
You may use Couplings (not supplied) as shown in the Diagram above. Do not  
connect Couplers directly to the Air Inlet. Doing so will increase the overall bulk of  
the tool and strain the Inlet Threads.

1. Be sure to follow all safety precautions as listed on Pages 2-5 of this manual.  
2. Acquire a 1/4” NPT air fitting (not supplied) and screw into the Air Inlet fitting.  
Tighten with a wrench.  
3. Attach a quick-coupler (not supplied) to the air fitting if desired.This allows  
quick exchange of the Air Hose to other air tools.  
4. Once the air compressor is off, connect the Air Hose to the Air Inlet Coupling.  
This air tool requires lubrication during operation. For best results, it is recom-  
mended to have an oiler and water filter in line with the air supply as shown. This  
will extend the life of the tool.  
Attaching/Changing the  
Wheel Accessory  
1. Fit the U-shaped end of the  
Stop Spanner [33] around  
the Gear Shaft [6] and hold  
in place to prevent the  
Shaft from spinning. Insert  
the two prongs on the end  
of the Disc Spanner [34]  
into the corresponding  
holes in the Disc Nut [1]  
and turn your wrist to unscrew the Disc Nut. See Fig. A, right.  
Fig. A  
2. Slide the Disc Wheel [2] onto the Shaft.  
3. Replace the Disc Nut and tighten using the Stop Spanner and Disc Spanner.  
DANGER Grinding wheel used must be rated at 11,000 RPM or  
higher.  
Operation  
1. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles when setting up and using  
this tool.  
2. Tighten all work pieces to your work surface with a clamp or vise so that both  
of your hands are free to operate the Grinder.  
3. Screw the Handle [35] into the threaded inlet on the side of the Angle  
Housing [13] as shown in the Assembly Diagram on Page 8.  
4. Set the Air Compressor’s pressure regulator to 90 PSI. Connect the Grinder  
to the Air Compressor’s hose.  
SKU 95504 Download from Www.SomanuPalsa.cgoem6. All Manuals Search And Download.  
5. Check to be sure all attachments are secure before turning on the tool. Adjust  
the Wheel Guard so that it provides a shield between you (the user) and the  
material you are working on. The Wheel Guard must be in place at all  
times when using the Angle Grinder.  
6. Grip the Handle [35] with your left hand and the Housing [25] with your right  
hand. Depress the Lever [31] with your right hand to turn the tool on. Allow  
the motor to reach its full speed before grinding. Make sure the Wheel is  
rotating evenly and all parts appear to be working properly. Always maintain a  
firm grip with both hands when operating this tool.  
7. To begin cutting or grinding, approach the material at an angle between 15  
and 30 degrees to the Wheel. Maintain that angle until you are finished  
cutting/grinding. Do not force the Wheel or apply too much pressure. If the  
Wheel slows down as you work with your material, you are applying too  
much pressure.  
8. Once you have turned the Grinder off, continue to hold onto the tool with  
both hands until the motor stops completely before you set it down.  
Maintenance and Troubleshooting  
Caution: Always disconnect the Air Grinder from its compressed air supply source  
before performing any cleaning, servicing, or maintenance.  
Before use, add a few drops of light tool oil into the air inlet (26). See assembly  
diagram on page 8. If the tool stops turning, the Rotor Blades (21) may be  
gummed up or damaged. You can remove and clean them or replace them if  
needed.See page 8.Call 1-800-444-3353 to order replacement parts.
