Air supply
1. Ensure tool
air valve (or trigger) is in the “off” position before connecting to the air supply.
2. You will require 90 PSI of air pressure 2.8 CFM of air flow.
3.
WARNING!
Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 8bar (120psi) while operating the sander.
Too high air pressure and unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear, and may be
dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury.
4. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the machine.
5. Clean air inlet filter weekly. Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig 1.
6. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses.
The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
7. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain that all
connections are secure.
Lubrication
An automatic in-line filter-regulator-lubricator is recommended (Fig4) as it increases tool life and keeps
the tool in sustained operation.
The in-line lubricator should be regularly checked and filled with air tool oil.
Proper adjustment of the in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet of paper next to the exhaust
ports and holding the throttle open approximately 30 seconds. The lubricator is properly set when a light
stain of oil collects on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil should be avoided.
In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time (overnight,
weekend, etc.), it should receive a generous amount of lubrication at that time. The tool should be run for
approximately 30 seconds to ensure oil has been evenly distributed throughout the tool. The tool should
be stored in a clean and dry environment.
It is most important that the tool be properly lubricated by keeping the air line lubricator filled and
correctly adjusted. Without proper lubrication the tool will not work properly and parts will wear
prematurely.
Use the proper lubricant in the air line lubricator. The lubricator should be of low air flow or changing
air flow type, and should be kept filled to the correct level. Use only recommended lubricants,
specially made for pneumatic applications. Substitutes may harm the rubber compounds in the tools
O-rings and other rubber parts.
IMPORTANT!!!
If a filter/regulator/lubricator is not installed on the air system, air operated tools should be lubricated at
least once a day or after 2 hours work with 2 to 6 drops of oil, depending on the work environment,
directly through the male fitting in the tool housing.
Loading and operation
WARNING:
Ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions before use.
