You will need an air compressor that can reliably supply 90psi at a minimum of 6cfm (170L/min) air flow.
What size cutting discs does this tool use?
The tool uses 3" (75mm) diameter cutting discs.
How do I prevent accidental startup?
The tool is equipped with a safety trigger. Always ensure this trigger is engaged before attempting to operate the tool. Release the trigger to stop the tool.
Does this tool come with air fittings?
Yes, the pack includes both a European 1/4" quick connector and a UK 1/4" quick connector.
How often should I lubricate the tool?
It is recommended to lubricate the tool with a few drops of air tool oil in the air inlet before each use or at least daily for regular use.
What is the warranty period?

Can this tool cut metal thicker than sheet metal?
While effective on sheet metal and hangers, its performance on very thick or hardened steel may be limited. It is best suited for exhaust pipes, straps, and general sheet metal work.
Troubleshooting
Tool is not spinning or is very slow.
Check air pressure is at 90psi. Ensure air line is not kinked and the quick connector is fully engaged. Verify sufficient air flow (6cfm) from the compressor. Add a few drops of air tool oil into the air inlet.
Accidental startup.
Ensure the safety trigger is engaged. If the tool runs without pulling the trigger, discontinue use and contact support.
Excessive vibration during operation.
Ensure the cutting disc is securely tightened and balanced. Check for damage to the disc. Make sure the tool is properly lubricated.
Cutting performance has degraded.
Check for blockages in the air inlet or filter. Ensure adequate air pressure and flow. The cutting disc may be worn and need replacement.
