BEFORE USING THIS AIR TOOL

To ensure long life be sure to oil the tool daily. Pour 4 drops of Eagle air tool (SEA 20 non
detergent) oil into the air inlet, and then run the tool for a few seconds to clean.
If tool is an impact wrench fitted with a "Zirc" grease fitting:
The hammer mechanism of this tool also needs to be greased from time to time (depending
on usage). The tool is equipped with grease fitting for this purpose; use this connection to
re-grease the tool using Eagle impact wrench grease.
PLEASE USE EAGLE SEA 20 NON DETERGENT OIL
Regulate pad speed with the regulator knob. Start the sander OFF the sanding surface. Set
the sander on the surface gently and evenly and start the work. Let the sander do the work.
The weight of the sander will provide sufficient sanding. Applying pressure to the sander
will only slow the speed of the pad and reduce sanding efficiency. This will also overload
the motor and cause premature weight on the tool and void the warranty.
Start the sander off the work, set it down on the work evenly and move it slowly back and
forth in wide overlapping areas, when finished sanding, lift it off the work before stopping
motor.
Start with a paper coarse enough to remove high spots and rough surface, continue using
progressively finer grit to obtain desired finish.
