•  Prior to use, or if dropped or jammed, inspect wheel retainers and wheel arbors and abrasive product for possible chips, cracks or other damage, and 

insure the abrasive product is correctly secured. If damaged, or if safety labels cannot be read, replace with new abrasive product, wheel retainers, 
wheel arbors, and/or labels available from 3M.

•  Never use a damaged grinder until it has been repaired.
•  Never over-ride or disable the safety features of the start-stop control such that it is in the on position.
•  Use only with mounting hardware recommended by 3M; check with 3M for mounting hardware requirements.
•  If the tool is jammed, shut off the tool and ease it free. Ensure the abrasive product is correctly secured.
•  Never allow this tool to be used by children or other untrained people.
•  Do not leave an unattended tool connected to air source.

To reduce the risks associated with skin abrasion, burns, cutting & severing, impact or entrapment:

•  Never install grinding wheels in a grinder tool which is unguarded.
•  Keep hands, hair, and clothing away from the cutting part of the tool.
•  Wear suitable protective gloves while operating tool.
•  Do not touch the rotating parts during operation for any reason.
•  Do not force tool or use excessive force when using tool.

To reduce the risks associated with vibration:

•  If any physical hand/wrist discomfort is experienced, work should be stopped promptly to seek medical attention. Hand, wrist and arm injury may result 

from repetitive work, motion and overexposure to vibration.

To reduce the risks associated with loud noise:

•  Always wear hearing protection while operating this tool. Follow your employer’s safety policy or local/national standards for personal protective 

equipment requirements

To reduce the risks associated with fire or explosion:

•  Do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The abrasives are able to create sparks 

when working material, resulting in the ignition of the flammable dust or fumes.

•  Refer to MSDS of material being worked as to potential for creating fire or explosion hazard.

To reduce the risks associated with hazardous dust ingestion or eye/skin exposure:

•  Use appropriate respiratory and skin protection, or local exhaust as stated in the MSDS of the material being worked on.

To reduce the risks associated with hazardous voltage:

•  Do not allow this tool to come into contact with electrical power sources as the tool is not insulated against electrical shock.

CAUTION!

To reduce the risks associated with whipping or hazardous pressure/rupture:

•  Ensure supply hose is oil resistant and is properly rated for required working pressure.
•  Do not use tools with loose or damaged air hoses or fittings.
•  Be aware that incorrectly installed hoses and fittings might unexpectedly come loose at any time and create a whipping/impact hazard.

To reduce the risks associated with flying off of accessory parts:

•  Use care in attaching abrasive product and mounting hardware; following the instructions to ensure that they are securely attached to the tool 

before use.

•  Never point this product in the direction of yourself or another person, or start tool unintentionally.
•  Never over-tighten accessory fasteners.

Operating / Maintenance Instructions

PRIOR TO THE OPERATION
The tool is intended to be operated as a hand held tool. It is always recommended that while using the tool, operators stand on a solid floor, in a secure position 
with a firm grip and footing. Be aware that the tool can develop a torque reaction. See the section “SAFETY PRECAUTIONS”.

Use a clean lubricated air supply that will give a measured air pressure at the tool of 6.2 bar (90 psig) when the tool is running with the lever fully depressed. It is 
recommended to use an approved 10 mm (3/8 in) x 8 m (25 ft) maximum length airline. Connect the tool to the air supply as shown in Figure 1. Do not connect 
the tool to the airline system without an easily accessible air shut off valve. It is strongly recommended that an air filter, regulator and lubricator (FRL) be used 
as shown in Figure 1 as this will supply clean, lubricated air at the correct pressure to the tool. In any case appropriate air pressure regulators shall be used 
at all times while operating this tool where the supply pressure exceeds the marked maximum of the tool. Details of such equipment can be obtained for your 
tool distributor. If such equipment is not used, the tool should be manually lubricated. To manually lubricate the tool, disconnect the airline and put 2 to 3 drops 
of suitable pneumatic motor lubricating oil such as 3M™ Air Tool Lubricant PN 20451, Fuji Kosan FK-20, Mobil ALMO 525 into the hose end (inlet) of the tool. 
Reconnect tool to the air supply and run tool slowly for a few seconds to allow air to circulate the oil. If the tool is used frequently, lubricate it on a daily basis or 
lubricate it if the tool starts to slow or lose power. It is recommended that the air pressure at the tool be 6.2 bar (90 psig) while the tool is running so the maximum 
RPM is not exceeded. The tool can be run at lower pressures but should never be run higher than 6.2 bar (90 psig). If run at lower pressure the performance of the 
tool is reduced.

IMPORTANT NOTE: 

The noise and vibration values stated in the table are from laboratory testing in conformity with stated codes and standards and are not 

sufficient risk evaluation for all exposure scenarios. The actual exposure values and amount of risk or harm experienced to an individual is unique to each 
situation and depends upon the surrounding environment, the way in which the individual works, the particular material being worked, work station design, as 
well as upon the exposure time and the physical condition of the user. 3M™ cannot be held responsible for the consequences of using declared values instead of 
actual exposure values for any individual risk assessment.

Lubricate the angle head every 6-8 working hours with premium grease with the following properties:
-High and low temperature performance
-Shear stable
-Anti-wear protection
-Low viscosity base flare for high speed application
-Very low coefficient of friction

Type 27 Wheel Mounting Hardware and Usage

Type 27 Grinding Wheels are also known as Depressed Center Grinding Wheels. They have a dish shaped center to allow the lower mounting hardware or flange 
to be recessed into the wheel. This allows the wheel to be used in a nearly flat orientation when needed.

Models 28403 and 28413 have 3/8”-24 threads per inch spindles. They can use Type 27 Grinding Wheels with 3/8” center holes (CH). 

Models 28405 and 28414 have 5/8”-11 threads per inch spindles and can use wheels with either 16 mm or 7/8” center holes (CH).

Models 28403 and 28413 can accomodate an adapter to change the spindle to a 5/8”-11 threads per inch spindle to allow the use of wheels with either 16 mm 
or 7/8” center holes (CH).

Refer to ANSI B7.1-2000 Safety Requirements for Use, Care and Protection of Abrasive Wheels and ISO/EN 12413 Safety Requirements for Bonded Abrasive 
Products for proper abrasive wheel applications.
