PREPARATION FOR USE
Proper Use Of The Tool
Your new Palm Sander is designed for cleaning or sanding a variety
of materials typically metal, wood, plastic materials, etc. The dual
rotary orbital action reduces the amount of abrasive grinding marks
and hence is primarily a finishing sanding tool. It can be used with
a variety of grades of 150 mm (6” diameter) abrasive discs which,
according to pad fitted to the tool, can be self adhesive
or velcro attached.
The tool, if fitted with dust collection, should not be used with water.
If use with water is required,water can act as a dust suppressor and
the dust collector would not be required.
Do not use the tool for any other purpose than that for which it has
been designed and use only abrasive discs as described.
Do not modify the tool without first consulting the manufacturer or an
authorized distributor.
Work Stations
Your Palm Sander should only be used as a hand operated tool. It is
always recommended that the tool is used when standing with solid
footing. It can be used in other positions but before any such use, the
operator must be in a secure position having a firm grip and footing.
Putting Into Service
Air Supply
CAUTION: This air tool requires lubrication BEFORE initial use,
also before and after each additional use
WARNING: Use a clean lubricated air supply that will give a
measured air pressure at the tool of 90 psi/6.2 bar when the tool
is running with the trigger fully depressed.
Use recommended hose size. It is recommended that the tool is
connected to the air supply as shown in
figure A on page 11. Do
not connect the tool to the air line system without incorporating an
easy to reach and operate air shut off valve. The air supply should
be lubricated. It is strongly recommended that an air filter, regula-
tor,
lubricator (FRL) is used as shown in figure A on page 11 as
this will supply clean, lubricated air at the correct pressure to the
tool. Details of such equipment can be obtained from your supplier.
If such equipment is not used then the tool should be lubricated by
shutting off the air supply to the tool and then depressurizing the line
by pressing the trigger on the tool. Disconnect the air line and pour
into the air inlet 1 teaspoon (5cc.) of a suitable pneumatic motor
lubricating oil, preferably incorporating a rust inhibitor. Reconnect
tool to air supply and run tool slowly for a few seconds
to allow air to circulate the oil.
Lubricate tool daily if used frequently, or when it starts to slow or
lose power.
