IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

OPERATION

1.

2.

Regulate pad speed with air regulator knob.

Start the sander off the sanding surface. Set the sander on the

surface gently and evenly and start the work. Let the sander do

the work. The weight of the sander will provide efficient sand-

ing. Applying pressure to the sander will only slow the speed of

the pad and reduce sanding efficiency. This will also overload

the motor and cause premature wear of the tool and void the

warranty.

3. Work the sander back and forth in a wide, overlapping motion.

Lift the sander off the surface before releasing the trigger.

4. Start with a paper grit coarse enough to remove high spots and

rough areas. Continue using progressively finer grit to attain

desired finish.

8. Follow air source manufacturer’s directions for connection of regula-

tors, filters and other accessories to air source. Do not install quick

couplers directly at tool air inlet. This causes inlet failure due to

excess weight and vibration. Use a whip hose between tool and quick

couplers.

9. Do Not oVeRLoAD!

 Do not force tool. Match tool capacity to work

load requirement. Use tool within its rated capacity and only for its

designated purpose. Overloading air tools will cause premature wear

and/or permanent damage of internal and external drive parts and will

void warranty.

10. Inspect hoses and fittings for wear and damage prior to using tool.

Do not carry or drag tool by the air hose. Keep air hose free from

obstruction, twisting and binding.
