OPERATION

IMPORTANT: Only use abrasive sanding pads designed for use with this type of
150mm dia sanding pad.
1. Squeeze the trigger against the
body of the tool to start and
evaluate its speed.
The regulator valve can be used
for setting positive speed control.
2. Rest the sander on the workpiece
and start the machine. Let the
sander do the work.
• The actual weight of the machine
is normally sufficient for efficient
sanding. Do not put additional pressure on the machine, which would only
slow down the speed of the pad, reducing efficiency and placing an
additional burden on the motor.
4. Pass the sander back and forth in wide, overlapping areas, taking care to
keep the sander moving around at all times. Avoid dwelling in one place
for more than a moment.
5. Release the trigger to stop the tool.
6. Always ensure the tool has stopped before putting it down.
DISCONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY
1. Do not disconnect the air supply hose until the compressor has been shut
down and the compressed air pressure released.
2. Once the pressure has been released, disconnect the air supply hose from
the tool.
STORAGE
1. Store the tool safely in its box in a dry, secure environment.
2. If the tool is not to be used for longer than 24 hours, run a few drops of
CLARKE airline oil into the air inlet and run the tool for a few seconds to
ensure that the oil has been well distributed throughout the tool.
3. When storing, ensure the blanking plug is replaced on the airline
connector once the airline has been disconnected.
