OPERATION

Always turn off the air supply, drain hose of air pressure and detach
tool from air supply before installing, removing or adjusting any part or
accessory on this tool, or before performing any maintenance on this
tool.
After mounting sandpaper, start this sander under a bench in order to
make sure sandpaper is firmly attached. Set the sander down on the
work evenly and move it slowly back and forth in wide, overlapping
areas. Additional pressure may be used to make more efficient use of the
tool when material to be sanded is thick. Lighter pressure may be used
in delicate sanding or when using edges of sanding pad. When finished
sanding, lift it off the work before stopping the motor.
NOTE: During operation, safety goggles should always be worn to
guard against flying rust and chips (users and bystanders).
AIR SUPPLY
Tools operate on a wide range of air pressures. It is recommended that
air pressure measures 90 psig at the tool with the trigger fully depressed
and no load applied to the tool. Higher pressure (over 90 psig; 6.2 bar)
raises performance beyond the rated capacity of the tool, which will
shorten tool life and could cause injury.
Always use clean, dry air. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or water in the air
line will cause damage to the tool. Drain the water from air lines and
compressor prior to running tool. Clean the air inlet filter screen weekly.
The recommended hookup procedure can be viewed in FIG. 1.
The air inlet used for connecting air supply has standard 1/4" NPT. Line
pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air
hoses (over 25 feet). Minimum hose diameter should be 3/8" I.D. and
fittings should have the same inside dimensions and be tightly secured.
Ensure an accessible emergency shut off valve has been installed in the
air supply line and make others aware of its location.

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

Lubricate the air motor daily with high quality air tool oil. If no air line oiler
is used, run 1/2 oz. of oil through the tool. The oil can be squirted into the
tool air inlet or into the hose at the nearest connection to the air supply,
then run the tool. A rust inhibitive oil is acceptable for air tools.
WARNING: After an air tool has been lubricated, oil will discharge through
the exhaust port during the first few seconds of operation. The exhaust
port must be covered with a towel before applying air pressure to prevent
serious injury.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Other factors outside the tool may cause loss of power or erratic action.
Reduced compressor output, excessive drain on the air line, moisture
or restrictions in air pipes or the use of hose connections of improper
size or poor condition may reduce air supply. Grit or gum deposits in the
tool may cut power and may be corrected by cleaning the air strainer
and flushing out the tool with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of
SAE #10 oil and kerosene. If outside conditions are in order, and the tool
continues erratic action or low power, disconnect tool from hose and
contact your nearest authorized service center.
