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
before any such use the operator must be in
a secure position having a firm grip and
footing and be aware of the safety rules to
be obeyed when using the sander.

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/lever 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.
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 hose adaptor a teaspoonful (5ml) of a
