To begin using the tool:
1.
As a standard practice, drain water from
the air compressor tank and air lines prior
to use each day (reference your
compressor operators manual for
detailed instructions).
2.
Install a 1/4” NPT male connector (not
included) into the air inlet port on the tool
(see Figure 2).
Note: Use Teflon® Tape
on all threaded connections.
3.
Turn on the air compressor and allow it to
build up pressure.
Always disconnect the
tool from the air source
before changing the
sanding pad or
sandpaper.
4.
Attach an adhesive-paper backed sanding
disk to the sander pad by removing the
adhesive cover and sticking it on the round sander pad.
NOTE: Remove used sandpaper from pad before storing the sander. Sandpaper can be difficult to remove
after a long period of time.
5.
Turn the offset knurled knob located on the spindle shaft until the knurled edge contacts the flat side of the
drive spindle. This locks the spindle in place. Grasp the spindle area with one hand and screw the sander
pad securely onto the spindle with the other hand.
Do not operate sander with the spindle in locked mode. Doing so may result in injury
to you or others.
Damage sanding discs can fly apart and cause a serious injury. Replace the sanding
disc when it is worn or damaged.
6.
Adjust the air compressor’s regulator or the supply line regulator to 90 PSI.
7.
Connect the tool to the air hose quick coupler.
NOTE: It is recommended that a whip hose with a swivel
(P012-0079SP - not included) be used to prevent twisting, kinking, and excessive wear to the air hose
(see figure 1 for recommended connections).
8.
Adjust the regulator control knob to the desired variable speed.
9.
Squeeze trigger gently. Start the sander off the work. Set it down flat on the work surface. Move the sander
slowly back and forth in wide overlapping areas. Let the sander do the work. Do not put additional pressure
on the sander. This slows down the speed of the pad, reducing sanding efficiency and puts additional burden
on the air tool motor.
10.
When finishing sanding, lift sander off the work before releasing the trigger.
