Foreseen Use of Tool
This tool is designed for the purpose of cleaning or sanding of a variety
of materials typically metal, wood, plastic materials, etc. The dual rotary
orbital action reduces the amount of abrasive grinding marks and
hence is primarily a finishing sanding tool. It can be used with a variety of
grades of 150 mm (6" diameter) abrasive discs which, according to
pad fitted to the tool, can be self adhesive or Velcro attached. If fitted to
the dust collecting system this should always be used. The system may
be integral or required to be fixed to an external vacuum source.
The machine fitted with dust collection should not be used with water.
If use with water is required, water can act as a dust suppressor and the
dust collector would not be required.
Do not use the tool for any other purpose to that for which it has been
designed and use only abrasive discs as described.
Do not modify the tool for any other use or for its use as a sander without
first consulting the manufacturer or his authorised distributor.
Work Stations
The tool should only be used as a hand held
hand operated tool. It is always recommended
that the tool is used when standing on a solid
floor. It can be used in other positions but be-
fore any such use the operator must be in a se-
cure position having a firm grip and footing and
be aware of the safety rules to be obeyed
when using the sander.

Putting Into Service
Air Supply
Use a clean lubricated air supply that will give a measured air pressure
at the tool of 90 p.s.i./6.3 bar when the tool is running with the trigger
fully depressed. Use recommended hose size and length. It is
recommended that the tool is connected to the air supply as shown in
figure 1. Do not connect the tool to the air line system without
incorporating an easy to reach and operate air shut off valve. The air
supply should be lubricated. It is strongly recommended that an air filter,
regulator, lubricator (FRL) is used as shown 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 lubricated by shutting off the air supply to
the tool, depressurising the line by pressing the trigger on the tool.
Disconnect the air line and pour into the intake bushing a teaspoonful
(5ml) of a suitable pneumatic motor lubricating oil preferably
incorporating a rust inhibitor. Reconnect tool to air supply and run tool
slowly for a few seconds to allow air to circulate the oil. If tool is used
frequently lubricate on daily basis and if tool starts to slow or lose power.
