8
to the ON position. This will produce 3,500 RPM. Do not
try to vary the speed. The tool works best at full throttle
only. Do not attempt to exceed the recommended speed
by excess pressure.
WATER CONTROL VALVE
This valve lets you adjust the fl ow of water through the
spindle. It may be used to shut off the water entirely when changing discs. When
storing the tool overnight, open the valve and drain all water from the supply hose
and tool.
SILENCER / MUFFLER
To comply with OSHA Occupational Noise Exposure Standard Number 1926.52,
this polisher is equipped with an internal Silencer System. When the polisher is
operated correctly at 87 PSI, the sound level emitted should be less than 80 dBA.
The internal Silencer System is also used to maintain a constant back pressure
inside the tool; this helps prevent it from exceeding the recommended 3,500 RPM.
The exhaust hose for this tool also helps to reduce the noise level by venting the
exhaust air and residual air-line, thus eliminating the risk of excess lubricant dripping
on the work piece. The new Silencer System is designed to allow small particle of
contamination and dust to pass through, however if your air supply has particles
larger than 1mm you will need to clean out the Silencer.
Maintenance and Usage Tip:
The Silencer is located on the rear of the polisher under the air and water fi ttings.
A clogged Silencer would be indicated by a loss of power or lower RPM’s from the
tool. To clean the Silencer remove the air and water fi ttings, use a small screwdriver
or pick to remove the hard plastic silencer and blow it out with compressed air from
the outside (fl at side of silencer). Reinstall the Silencer with the recessed side of
the Silencer toward the tool, the Silencer should fi t into the encase tightly, leaving
a fl at surface on the outside of the tool.
WARNING!
Tools sent in for repair, where the silencer is removed or modifi ed, are
not covered under our Limited Warranty!
REVERSIBLE SIDE HANDLE
