Work Stations
The tool is intended to be operated as a hand held tool. It is
always recommended that the tool be used when standing
grip and footing and be aware that the sander can develop a
torque reaction. See the section "Operating Instructions".
Putting the Tool into Service
Use a clean lubricated air supply that will give a measured
air pressure at the tool of 90 psig (6.2 bar) when the tool is
running with the lever fully depressed. It is recommended
to use an approved 3/8 in. (10 mm) x 25 ft (8 m) maximum
length airline. It is recommended that the tool be connected
to the air supply as shown in Figure 1.
Do not connect the tool to the airline system without incorpo-
rating an easy to reach and operate air shut off valve. The air
supply should be lubricated. It is strongly recommended that
in Figure 1 as this will supply clean, lubricated air at the
correct pressure to the tool. Details of such equipment can
be obtained from your supplier. If such equipment is not used
then the tool should be manually lubricated
To manually lubricate the tool, disconnect the airline and put
2 to 3 drops of suitable pneumatic motor lubricating oil such
as Fuji Kosan FK-20, Mobil ALMO 525 or Shell TORCULA®
32 into the hose end (inlet) of the machine. Reconnect tool to
the air supply and run tool slowly for a few seconds to allow
air to circulate the oil. If the tool is used frequently, lubricate
it on a daily basis or lubricate it if the tool starts to slow or
lose power.
It is recommended that the air pressure at the tool be 90 PSI
(6.2 Bar) while the tool is running so the maximum RPM is not
exceeded. The tool can be run at lower pressures but should
never be run higher than 90 PSI (6.2 Bar). If run at lower pres-
sure the performance of the tool is reduced.
Operating Instructions
1) Read all instructions before using this tool. All operators
must be fully trained in its use and aware of these safety
rules. All service and repair must be carried out by
trained personnel.
2) Make sure the tool is disconnected from the air supply.
Select a suitable abrasive and secure it to the back-up
pad. Be careful and center the abrasive on the back-up
pad.
3) Always wear required safety equipment when using this
tool.
4) When sanding always place the tool on the work then
start the tool. Always remove the tool from the work
before stopping. This will prevent gouging of the work
due to excess speed of the abrasive.
5)
adjusting or removing the abrasive or back-up pad.
6)
of torque reaction developed by the sander.
7) Use only correct spare parts.
8)
9)
the tool by its hose; always be careful to prevent the tool
from being started when carrying the tool with the air
supply connected.
10) Dust can be highly combustible. Vacuum dust collection
bag should be cleaned or replaced daily. Cleaning or
replacing of bag also assures optimum performance.
11) Do not exceed maximum recommended air pressure.
Use safety equipment as recommended.
12) The tool is not electrically insulated. Do not use where
there is a possibility of coming into contact with live
electricity, gas pipes, water pipes, etc. Check the area of
operation before operation.
13) Take care to avoid entanglement with the moving parts
of the tool with clothing, ties, hair, cleaning rags, etc. If
entangled, it will cause the body to be pulled towards the
work and moving parts of the machine and can be very
dangerous.
14) Keep hands clear of the spinning pad during use.
15) If the tool appears to malfunction, remove from use im-
mediately and arrange for service and repair.
16) Do not allow the tool to free speed without taking precau-
tions to protect any persons or objects from the loss of
the abrasive or pad.
