WORK STATIONS
The tool should only be used as a handheld hand operated tool. It is always recommended that
the tool is used when standing on the solid floor. 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.
INITIAL OPERATION
Select a suitable abrasive disc (see Section “Proper use of tool”) and make sure that it is fixed
securely to the tool. Connect to suitable air supply as recommended. Apply the sander lightly to
the work and allow the abrasive disc to cut. Take great care when sanding around sharp edges and
surfaces to avoid the disc snagging i.e. the disc may be brougth to an abrupt stop or considerably
slowed that will cause the tool to kick in the hands. It is always recommended to use safety glasses
and a breathing mask. The sanding of certain materials may create hazardous dust which may
require special breathing equipment. Chek before using the tool. Even if the machine has a low
noise level the actual sanding process may cause a noise level such that ear protectors will be
required. If there are sharp areas in the material being sanded safety gloves are recommended. Do
not continue to use abrasive disc that are worn or clogged. Do not use undersidez or oversidez
sanding disc. The disc should be no more than 1/4” larger in diameter that the pad, and not smaller
than the pad.
AIR SUPPLY
Use a clean lubricated air supply that will give a measured air pressure at the tool of 90 PSI with
the trigger fully depressed.
Use recommended hose size and length. It is recommended that the tool is connected to the air
supply as shown in figure A.
Do not connect the tool to the air line system without incorporating an easy to reach and
operated shut off valve.
It is strongly recommended that an air filter, regulator, lubricator (FRL) is used as shown in
figure A 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, depressurising the line by pressing the trigger
on the tool.
Disconnect the air line and pour into the intake bushing a teaspoon (5 ml) 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.
If tool is used frequently lubricate on daily basis and if tool starts to slow or lose power.
SAFETY RULES FOR AIR TOOLS
1) Inspect the air hose for cracks or other problems. Replace the hose if worn.
2) Never point an air hose at another person.
3) Disconnect the tool when not in use, or before performing service or changing accessories.
4) Use proper hoses and fittings. Never use quick-change couplings attached at the tool. Instead,
add a hose and coupling between the tool and the air supply. The recommended hook-up is shown
