WARNING!
Disconnect sander from air supply before changing accessories, servicing or
performing maintenance. Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only.

1. If the air supply system does not have an oiler lubricate the sander daily with a few drops of a
good grade air tool oil dripped into the air inlet (fig.3.8) before use.
2. Clean the sander after use and change belt when required.

type of hose connectors. To remedy, check the air supply and follow instructions in
Section
“PREPARING FOR USE”.
b) Grit or gum deposits in the sander may also reduce performance. If your model has an air
filter (located in the area of the air inlet), remove the filter and clean it. Flush the sander out
with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE No.10 oil and kerosene. Allow to dry before
use.
If you continue to experience problems, contact your local service agent.
