Proper Use of Tool

This tool is designed for use on all types of materials i.e. metals,

wood, stone, plastics, etc. using abrasive designed for this pur-

pose. Do not use this tool for any other purpose than that speci-

fied without consulting the manufacturer or the manufacturer's

authorized supplier. Do not use back-up pads that have a working

speed less than 3,200 rpm free speed.

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 on a

solid floor. It can be used in any position but before any such use,

the operator must be in a secure position and have a firm grip and

footing, and be aware that the tool can develop a torque reaction.

See the section "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. Take care to center the

abrasive on the back-up pad.

3( Always wear the 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) Always disconnect the air supply from the tool before fit-

ting, adjusting or removing the abrasive or back-up pad.

6( Always adopt a firm footing and/or position and be aware

of the torque reaction developed by the

7) Use only correct spare parts.

8( Always ensure that the material to be sanded is firmly

fixed to prevent its movement.

9( Check the hose and fittings regularly for wear. Do not

carry 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( Do not exceed the maximum recommended air pressure.

Use safety equipment as recommended.

11) 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 working

area before operation.

12) Take care to avoid entanglement of 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, which can be very dangerous.

13) Keep hands clear of the spinning pad during use.

14) If the tool appears to malfunction, remove from use immediately and arrange for service and

repair.

15) Do not allow the tool to free speed without taking precautions to protect any persons or

objects from the loss of the abrasive or pad.

Use a clean lubricated air supply that will give a measured air

pressure at the tool of 6.2 bar (90 psig) bar when the tool is run-

ning with the lever fully depressed. It is recommended to use an

approved 10 mm )3/8 in.( x 8 m )25 ft( 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 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 and lubricator (FRL) be 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

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 the tool to the air

supply and run the 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 is 6.2 bar (90

psig) while the tool is running. The tool can run at lower pressures

but never higher than 6.2 bar (90 psig).
