While operating the air sander, plan rest breaks and avoid using
the air sander for long periods. Permanent vibrations are
harmful to health.
Operating the pneumatic tool causes a massive load of
vibrations may damage nervous and circulatory systems,
especially to whom have circulatory disorders. Inform your
doctor if any symptoms arise caused by the vibrations. Among
these symptoms, that occur specially on fingers, hand and
wrists, are also included loss of sensation, pain, muscle
weakness, skin discoloration or tingling sensation.
Avoid using the pneumatic sander on surfaces coated with
paints containing lead or other materials harmful to health. Any
contact or inhalation of dust may cause allergic reactions and /
or breathing disorders.
Materials containing asbestos cannot be worked. Asbestos is
carcinogenic.
Do not use air tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Air
tools create sparks that can ignite liquids, gases, or dust.
Compressed air line
To ensure that the pneumatic sander is used in a safe way, to
make it easier to change attachments, to optimise the operation
of the appliance and to extend its service life, certain
precautions and procedures must be considered such as:
▪ The air pressure supplying the appliance must not exceed the
maximum pressure given in the technical specifications;
▪ The compressed air system must have a filter capable of
regulating the working pressure, eliminating liquid and solid
particles and lubricating the appliance. This keeps the
appliance lubricated and reduces friction;
▪ Drain the pressure regulator cup daily. The presence of water
in the compressed air system can cause damage to the
appliance mechanism;
▪ The compressed air line shall be composed of a 3/8"
diameter hose;
▪ Never use a compressed air hose for pulling, transporting the
pneumatic tool. Damaged hoses increase the risk of
accidents and injuries;
▪ Keep the air hose away from heat sources, oil, sharp objects
and rotating parts. If the air hose is damaged, it should be
replaced;
24
▪ Constantly check the condition of air hoses and couplings to
detect and prevent air leaks;
▪ To ease cleaning, adjustment, changing of attachments,
servicing or maintenance, the air hose should be connected
to a shutoff valve to shut off the compressed air supply to
the appliance.
Maintenance and cleaning
Disconnect the tool from the compressed air system
before performing any type of cleaning, adjustment,
change of attachments, repair or maintenance.
Cleaning:
Always keep the pneumatic sander clean and dry. Clean all
pneumatic sander's components and accessories after
operation.
Always keep pneumatic sander free from oils, lubricants or
grease.
Do not use aggressive cleaning products. These products may
damage plastics and metals, compromising the safe operation
of the pneumatic tool.
Maintenance:
Replace worn out or damaged parts immediately, so that the
pneumatic tool is always in a safe operating condition.
Keep all bolts well tightened to ensure a safe operation.
Only maintenance works described in this instruction manual
may be carried out; all other works must be performed by an
official dealer.
Use only VITO-approved tools and attachable accessories for
this appliance or technically identical parts. Failure to do so may
result in personal injuries or damages to the pneumatic sander.
If in doubt, if you lack knowledge or resources, you should
contact an official distributor.
Technical assistance
The pneumatic sander should only be serviced by the brand's
technical assistance center, or other qualified personnel,
replacing any necessary parts with original ones.
