  1. Purchase air motor oil and grease specifically designed for your air tool. Check your specific manufacturer's specifications.

  2. Disconnect the right-angle grinder from the air supply.

  3. Insert a small amount of oil into the air inlet of the grinder. Add approximately one-half teaspoon of oil.

  4. Reconnect the air supply and run the tool for a short time to allow the oil to circulate.

  5. Add more oil after every 2-3 hours of tool operation.

  6. Disassemble the tool head after every 8 hours of operation. Add grease to all of the internal gears and bearings according to manufacturer's specifications.

Warnings

Never disassemble the tool while connected to an air supply, as personal injury can occur.
