or 5 drops of air tool oil (not included) into the
air inlet.
7.
Blow out air line to remove any dirt or
moisture, then connect air supply hose to
tool. Set air pressure to 90 psi.

Maintenance
Lubrication
The sander should be lubricated daily (or before
each use) with air tool oil through the air inlet.
During continual operation, it should be re-oiled
every 1 to 2 hours. This can be done with an in-
line oiler, or manually. If done manually, proceed
as follows:
1.
Disconnect air hose from tool.
2.
Place 4 or 5 drops of air tool oil into air inlet.
NOTE: Air tool oil not provided; it is available
at most major hardware and tool stores. SAE
#10 oil or sewing machine oil may be used
as a substitute. Do not use detergent oil.
3.
Re-connect air. Run sander at low throttle
without load for a few seconds to distribute
the oil throughout tool.
