Chicago Pneumatic RediPower RP35 Series Instruction Manual

RediPower
Air Supply Requirements
1. Supply tool with 90 psig (6.2 bar) of clean, dry air. Higher pressure drastically
reduces tool life.
2. Connect tool to air line using pipe, hose and fitting sizes shown in the diagram
on page 12.
3. Do not install a quick coupler directly into the sander throttle handle.
Lubrication
Use an air line lubricator with SAE #10 oil, adjusted to two drops per minute. If
an air line lubricator cannot be used, add air motor oil to the inlet once a day.
Noise & Vibration Declaration*
1. Sound pressure level 81 dB(A), uncertainty 3 dB(A), in accordance with EN
ISO 15744. For sound power, add 11 dB(A).
2
Vibration value < 2.5 m/s , re. ISO 8662-8. For making estimates of daily
vibration exposures, useful information may be found in CEN/TR 15350: 2006,
"Mechanical vibration - Guideline for the assessment of exposure to hand-
transmitted vibration using available information including that provided by
manufacturers of machinery"
Maintenance
1. Disassemble and inspect air motor and orbital assembly every three months if
the tool is used every day. Replace damaged or worn parts.
2. High wear parts are underlined in the parts list.
*These declared values were obtained by laboratory type testing in compliance with the stated standards and are not
adequate for use in risk assessments. Values measured in individual work places may be higher than the declared
values. The actual exposure values and risk of harm experienced by an individual user are unique and depend upon the
way the user works, the workpiece and the workstation design, as well as upon the exposure time and the physical
condition of the user. We, Chicago Pneumatic, cannot be held liable for the consequences of using the declared values,
instead of values reflecting the actual exposure, in an individual risk assessment in a work place situation over which we
have no control.
To reduce risk of injury, everyone using, installing,
repairing, maintaining, changing accessories on, or
working near this tool must read and understand
these instructions before performing any such task.
The goal of Chicago Pneumatic is to produce tools that help you work safely and
efficiently. The most important safety device for this or any tool is YOU. Your
care and good judgment are the best protection against injury. All possible
hazards cannot be covered here, but we have tried to highlight some of the
important ones.

Air Supply And Connection Hazards
Air under pressure can cause severe injury.
Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and disconnect tool
from air supply when not in use, before changing accessories or when
making repairs.
Never direct air at yourself or anyone else.
Whipping hoses can cause serious injury. Always check for damaged or
loose hoses and fittings.
Do not use quick disconnect couplings at tool. See instructions for
correct setup.
Whenever universal twist couplings are used, lock pins must be
installed.
Do not exceed maximum air pressure of 90 psi/6.2 bar or as stated on
tool nameplate.
Projectile Hazards
Always wear impact-resistant eye and face protection when involved
with or near the operation, repair or maintenance of the tool or changing
accessories on the tool.
Be sure all others in the area are wearing impact-resistant eye and face
protection.
Even small projectiles can injure eyes and cause blindness.
Entanglement Hazards
Keep away from moving sand pad.
Do not wear jewelry or loose clothing.
Scalping can occur if hair is not kept away from the tool and accessories.

particular to trademarks, model denominations, part numbers and drawings.
Use only authorized parts. Any damage or malfunction caused by the use of unauthorized parts is not covered by
Warranty or Product Liability.
Choking can occur if neckwear is not kept away from the tool and
accessories.
Operating Hazards
Never mount a grinding wheel on a sander. A grinding wheel that bursts
can cause very serious injury or death when not properly guarded.
Use only coated abrasive sanding discs or sheets properly secured to
the backing pad provided with the air sander.
Inspect backing pad before each use. Do not use if cracked or damaged.
Avoid direct contact with moving sanding pad to prevent pinching or
cutting of hands or other body parts. Wear gloves to protect hands.
Operators and maintenance personnel must be physically able to handle
the power of the tool and capable of performing the job task.
When using a tool that is designed to have a guard, the guard should be
in place to offer protection from grinding swarf or flying debris.
Workplace Hazards
Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of serious injury or death. Be aware of
excess hose left on the walking or work surface.
Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.
High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. Use hearing
protection as recommended by your employer or OSHA regulation (see
29 CFR part 1910).
Repetitive work motions, awkward positions and exposure to vibration
can be harmful to hands and arms. If numbness, tingling, pain or
whitening of the skin occurs, stop using tool and consult a physician.
Avoid inhaling dust or handling debris from the work process which can
be harmful to your health. Use dust extraction and wear respiratory
protective equipment when working with materials which produce
airborne particles.
This tool is not intended for use in explosive atmospheres and is not
insulated for contact with electric power sources.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead based paints
- Crystalline silica bricks and cement and other masonry products
- And Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated rubber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do
this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a
well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
For professional use only.
