AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU
ARE THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE
USE OF COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY.
• Air compressors used with the sander must comply with the appropriate
European Community safety directives.
• Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source for the
sander.
• A build up of moisture in the air compressor will accelerate wear and
corrosion in the sander. Ensure any moisture is drained from the
compressor daily and the inlet filter is kept clean.
• If an unusually long air hose is required,(over 8 metres), line presure may
need to be increased.
A typical airline
arrangement is
shown on the right.
If an automatic in-
line filter/regulator/
lubricator unit is
used it will keep the
tool in good
condition but should
be regularly
checked and
topped up with oil.
IMPORTANT: If a filter/lubricator unit is not used, the sander should be
lubricated with 2 to 6 drops of oil, at least once a day or after 2 hours work,
depending upon the working environment. The oil can be inserted through
the airline connection point.
AIRLINE SAFETY
• Never exceed the maximum operating pressure for the sander. A pressure
of 90 psi with a flow of 6 cfm is required. Too high an air pressure will
shorten the life of the tool due to excessive wear.
• The air hose must be rated at least 150% of the maximum operating
pressure of the tool.
