• Let the tool do the work. The actual weight of the machine is
normally sufficient for efficient sanding. Do not put additional
pressure on the machine, which would only slow down the speed of
the belt, reducing efficiency and placing an additional burden on
the motor.
3. Pass the sander back and forth, 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.

DISCONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY

1. Do not disconnect the air supply hose until the compressor has been shut
down and the compressed air released.
2. Refer to the compressor instruction manual for the procedure to shut down
and vent the compressed air.
3. Once the pressure has been released, disconnect the air supply hose from
the air tool.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE AIR TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE
AIR SUPPLY BEFORE STARTING ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURES.
DAILY
1. Before use, drain water from the airline filter and compressor.
2. Pour a few drops of Clarke air-line oil, into the tool air inlet. This should be
carried out regardless of whether or not an in-line mini oiler is used. If an in-
line mini oiler is not used, this procedure should be repeated after every
two to three hours of use.
3. Check the air inlet screen filter for blockage and clean if necessary.
CLEANING
1. Keep the body of the tool clean and free from debris.
2. Grit or gum deposits in the tool may also reduce efficiency. This condition
can be corrected by cleaning the air strainer and flushing out the tool with
