2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATION
Recommended hook-up is shown in fig. 1.
3.1.
Ensure that the polisher air valve (or throttle) is in the "off" position before connecting to the air supply.
3.2.
You will require an air pressure between 70-90psi, and an air flow according to the specification above.
3.3.
WARNING!
Ensure that the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi while operating the polisher.
Too high an air pressure and/or unclean air will result in excessive wear and may be dangerous, causing
damage and/or personal injury.
3.4.
Drain the compressor air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the polisher and invalidate your
warranty.
3.5.
Clean compressor air inlet filter weekly.
3.6.
Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).
The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
3.7.
Keep hoses away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear, and make certain that all
connections are secure.
3.8.
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the polisher. To overcome
this, connect a leader hose to the polisher. A quick change coupling may then be used to connect the
leader hose to the air line recoil hose. See figs. 1 & 2.

Risk of Hand Arm Vibration Injury.
Generation Series Mini Air Polisher (75mm) Model No: GSA722, when operated in accordance with these instructions and tested
in accordance with BS EN 28662-1:1993, ISO 8662-1:1988 and BS EN ISO 8662-8:1997 results in the following vibration
emission declared in accordance with BS EN12096:1996.
Measured vibration emission value:
1.021m/s²
Uncertainty:
0.41m/s²
These values are suitable for comparison with emission levels of other tools that have been subject to the same test.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is inadequately managed.
Recommended Measures to reduce risk of hand-arm vibration syndrome:
This item represents a low Hand Arm Vibration
risk to users. The calculated maximum usage period exceeds 8 hours. We recommend appropriate safety equipment is utilised
and regular breaks for the operator are employed to reduce any residual risk of fatigue or repetitive strain injury.
