ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
Letter references in parenthesis (A) refer to the included Identification Key.
INSTALL AIR COUPLER PLUG
Prepare a standard 1/4 in. NPT coupler plug (sold separately) for use
with your tool.
1. Wrap the external threads of the coupler plug with sealant tape.
1.1 Wrap tape in a clockwise direction so it will not unravel.
1.2 Do not tape all the threads. Leave several leading threads
unwrapped for easier alignment.
2. Screw the coupler plug into the tool's air inlet and tighten with a
wrench until snug.
3. Run the compressor at a low volume and check the connection for
air leaks. Do not use the tool until all air leaks are repaired or the
faulty component is replaced.
IMPORTANT! Vibration may cause failure if a quick coupler is
connected directly to the air tool. To overcome this, connect a
leader hose to the tool. A quick coupler may then be used to
connect the leader hose to the air line hose.
FIT THE SANDING SHEET
1. Disconnect the tool from the air source.
2. Select abrasive paper of the correct grit for the task.
3. Raise the front and rear pad clips (A and H) to release the
sandpaper holders.
4. Insert the abrasive paper into the front clip. Close the clip, trapping
the paper.
5. Pull the paper tight across the pad (G) ensuring the pad is completely
covered. Insert the other end into the rear pad clip (H). Close the clip.
6. Reattach the air source to the tool.
OPERATION
Selecting the correct size and type of abrasive grit is extremely important
in achieving a high-quality sanded finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide
and other synthetic abrasive are best for power sanding.
