Connecting The Air Supply; Using The Sander - Clarke air CAT25B Operating & Maintenance Instructions

REPLACEMENT DISCS
NOTE: Common sanding discs with 22 mm bore are used and are
available from a Clarke dealer.
NOTE: IMPORTANT: Only use abrasive sanding pads designed for use with
this type of sanding pad.

CONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY

NOTE: Ensure the compressor is turned off.
1. If required, connect an in-line mini oiler to the tool.
• A mini oiler helps to prolong the life of the air tool.
2. If a mini-oiler is not being used, run a few drops of oil through the tool
before use. It can be entered through the air inlet or via the hose at the
nearest connection to the air supply.
3. Connect a suitable hose to the air inlet and the other end of the hose to
the compressor.
4. Your air tool is now ready for use.
You can fit a whip hose with a quick fit coupling if required (available from
your Clarke dealer).

USING THE SANDER

Squeeze the trigger against the body of the tool to start and evaluate its
speed. The regulator valve can be used for setting positive speed control.
1. To begin work, rest the disc pad on the workpiece and start the sander.
• Let the tool do the work. The actual weight of the sander is normally
sufficient for efficient sanding. Do not put additional pressure on the
sander, which would only slow down the speed of the pad, reducing
efficiency and placing an additional burden on the motor.
2. Gently offer the abrasive disc to work piece, DO NOT FORCE IT, allow the
tool to do the work for which it was designed.
3. Pass the sander back and forth in wide, overlapping areas, taking care to
keep the sander moving around at all times. Avoid dwelling in one place
for more than a moment.
4. Release the trigger to stop the tool.
5. Always ensure the tool has stopped before putting it down.
