Revision 10/03/07

Symptom

Possible Cause

Solution

Low Power and/or Low Free Speed

Insufficient Air Pressure

Check air line pressure at the Inlet of 

the Sander while the tool is running at 

free speed. It must be 90 psig (6.2 Bar).

Clogged Muffler(s)

See the “Housing Disassembly” section 

for Muffler removal. The Muffler can 

be back flushed with a clean, suitable 

cleaning solution until all contaminates 

and obstructions have been removed. If 

the Muffler can not be properly cleaned 

then replace it. Replace Muffler Insert 

(See the 

“Housing Assembly” Section).

Plugged Inlet Screen

Clean the Inlet Screen with a clean, 

suitable cleaning solution. If Screen 

does not come clean replace it.

One or more Worn or Broken Vanes

Install a complete set of new Vanes 

(all vanes must be replaced for proper 

operation). Coat all vanes with quality 

pneumatic tool oil. See “Motor Disas-

sembly” and 

“Motor Assembly”.

Internal air leakage in the Motor Housing 

indicated by higher than normal air con-

sumption and lower than normal speed.

Check for proper Motor alignment and 

Lock Ring engagement. Check for 

damaged O-Ring in Lock Ring groove. 

Remove Motor Assembly and Re-Install 

the Motor Assembly. See “Motor Disas-

sembly” and “Motor Assembly”. 

Motor Parts Worn

Overhaul Motor. Contact authorized

Service Center.

Worn or broken Spindle Bearings

Replace the worn or broken Bearings. 

See “Shaft Balancer and Spindle Disas-

sembly” and “Spindle Bearings, Bearing 

Shield and Shaft Balancer Assembly”.

Air leakage through the Speed 

Control and/or Valve Stem.

Dirty, broken or bent Valve Spring, Valve 

or Valve Seat.

Disassemble, inspect and replace worn 

or damaged parts. See Steps 2 and 3 

in “Housing Disassembly” and Steps 2 

and 3 in “Housing Assembly”.

Vibration/Rough Operation

Incorrect Pad

Only use Pad Sizes and Weights 

designed for the machine.

Addition of interface pad or other material

Only use abrasive and/or interface 

designed for the machine. Do not at-

tach anything to the Sanders Pad face 

that was not specifically designed to be 

used with the Pad and Sander.

Improper lubrication or buildup of foreign 

debris.

Disassemble the Sander and clean in 

a suitable cleaning solution. Assemble 

the Sander.

Worn or broken Rear or Front Motor 

Bearing(s)

Replace the worn or broken Bearings. 

See “Motor Disassembly” and “Motor 

Assembly”.

For vacuum machines it is possible to 

have too much vacuum while sanding on 

a flat surface causing the pad to stick to 

the sanding surface.

For SGV machines add extra washer(s) 

to the pad spindle to increase the gap 

between the pad and shroud. For CV 

machines reduce vacuum through 

the vacuum system and/or add extra 

washer(s) to the pad.
