Chicago Pneumatic CP768 Instruction Manual

Air Supply Requirements
1. Supply tool with 90 psig (6.2 bar) of clean, dry air. Higher pressure drastically reduces
tool life.
2. Connect tool to air line using pipe, hose and fitting sizes shown in the diagram on
page 12.
Lubrication
Use an air line lubricator with SAE #10 oil, adjusted to two drops per minute. If an air
line lubricator cannot be used, add air motor oil to the inlet once a day.
Operation
To apply sanding strip, raise each lever on the end of sanding shoe. Place
one end of paper under clamp and lock lever. Pull paper firmly over sanding shoe and
secure clamp.
Noise & Vibration Declaration*
Sound pressure level 85 dB(A) in accordance with Pneurop 8N-1. For sound power,
add 10 dB(A).
2
Vibration value 7.0 m/s , re. ISO 8662-1.
Maintenance
1. Disassemble and inspect parts every three months if the tool is used every day.
Replace damaged or worn parts.
2. High wear parts are underlined in the parts list.
* These declared values were obtained by laboratory type testing in compliance with the stated standards and
are not adequate for use in risk assessments. Values measured in individual work places may be higher than
the declared values. The actual exposure values and risk of harm experienced by an individual user are
unique and depend upon the way the user works, the workpiece and the workstation design, as well as upon
the exposure time and the physical condition of the user. We, Chicago Pneumatic, cannot be held liable for
the consequences of using the declared values, instead of values reflecting the actual exposure, in an
individual risk assessment in a work place situation over which we have no control.
To reduce risk of injury, everyone using, installing,
repairing, maintaining, changing accessories on, or
working near this tool must read and understand
these instructions before performing any such task.
The goal of Chicago Pneumatic is to produce tools that help you work safely and
efficiently. The most important safety device for this or any tool is YOU. Your
care and good judgment are the best protection against injury. All possible
hazards cannot be covered here, but we have tried to highlight some of the
important ones.

! Choking can occur if neckwear is not kept away from the tool and
accessories.
Operating Hazards
! Never mount a grinding wheel on a sander. A grinding wheel that bursts
can cause very serious injury or death when not properly guarded.
! Use only coated abrasive sanding discs or sheets properly secured to
the backing pad provided with the air sander.
! Inspect backing pad before each use. Do not use if cracked or damaged.
! Avoid direct contact with moving sanding pad to prevent pinching or
cutting of hands or other body parts. Wear gloves to protect hands.
! Operators and maintenance personnel must be physically able to handle
the power of the tool and capable of performing the job task.
! When using a tool that is designed to have a guard, the guard should be
in place to offer protection from grinding swarf or flying debris.
Workplace Hazards
! Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of serious injury or death. Be aware of
excess hose left on the walking or work surface.
! Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.
! High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. Use hearing
protection as recommended by your employer or OSHA regulation (see
29 CFR part 1910).
! Repetitive work motions, awkward positions and exposure to vibration
can be harmful to hands and arms. If numbness, tingling, pain or
whitening of the skin occurs, stop using tool and consult a physician.
! Avoid inhaling dust or handling debris from the work process which can
be harmful to your health. Use dust extraction and wear respiratory
protective equipment when working with materials which produce
airborne particles.
! This tool is not intended for use in explosive atmospheres and is not
insulated for contact with electric power sources.
! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead based paints
- Crystalline silica bricks and cement and other masonry products
- And Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated rubber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do
this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a
well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
