Air Supply Requirements
Tools operate on a wide range of air pressures. We recommend that air pressure measures 90 psig at the tool with the trigger fully depressed and
no load applied to the tool. Low pressure (less than 90 psig/6.2 bar) reduces the speed and performance of all air tools. High pressure (over 115
psig/8.0 bar) exceeds the rated capacity of the tool, which will shorten tool life and may create a hazardous condition.
Always use clean, dry air. Dust, corrosive fumes, and/or water in the air line will cause damage to the tool. Drain water from air line and compressor
prior to running tool. Clean the air inlet filter screen weekly. The air inlet used for connecting the air supply has standard 1/4" NPT American Thread.
Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 25 feet). Minimum hose diameter should be 3/8" I.D. Fittings
should have the same inside dimensions and should be tightly secured.
Ensure an accessible emergency shut off valve has been installed in the air supply line and make others aware of its location.
WARNING
Always turn off the air supply, drain hose of air pressure and detach tool from air supply before installing, removing or adjusting any part or accessory
on this tool, or before performing any maintenance on this tool.
Lubrication
Lubricate the air motor daily with high quality air tool oil. If no air line oiler is used, run 1/2 oz. of oil through the tool. The oil can be squirted into the
tool air inlet or into the hose at the nearest connection to the air supply, then run the tool. A rust inhibitive oil is acceptable for air tools.
WARNING: After an air tool has been lubricated, oil will discharge through the exhaust port during the first few seconds of operation. The exhaust port
must be covered with a towel before applying air pressure to prevent serious injury.
Operation
The sander has a reciprocating pad and produces a smooth and professional finish to most surfaces. Suitable for removing paint and rust from metal
surfaces, smoothing edges, shaping welded surfaces including fiberglass and wood surfaces for further finishing. After mounting sandpaper, start this
start this Sander under a bench in order to make sure sandpaper is firmly attached.
Abrasive paper can be held by 2 clamps or PSA paper. Do not use the tool for any other purpose than that for which it was designed. Do not modify
the tool for any other purpose.
Speed can be varied by the trigger (19).
Always turn off the air supply, drain hose of air pressure and detach tool from air supply before installing, removing or adjusting any part or accessory
on this tool, or before performing any maintenance on this tool. After mounting sandpaper, start this Sander under a bench in order to make sure
sandpaper is firmly attached. Apply light pressure to the work area and allow the sandpaper to provide the desired finish.
Be careful when sanding around sharp edges to prevent cutting sandpaper and pad. Change sandpaper when worn or clogged. Use sandpaper
specifically sized to the pad.
Periodically check air inlet screen and remove any contaminants.
