Maintenance
Lubricate at the beginning of the sanding task.
Place one or two drops of pneumatic tool oil
directly into the air fitting as shown in Figure 7.
A filter/lubricator/regulator set up is not recom-
mended, as excess oil in the tool could spray onto
the workpiece.
Throttle
Lever
Remove pressure on the throttle lever to stop
the sander.
When the sanding belt loses its effective-
ness, disconnect the sander from air,
remove the belt and replace with a new one.
