Adjust the air compressor’s output
7.
regulator so that the air output is
enough to properly power the tool,
but the output will not exceed the
tool’s maximum air pressure (90
PSI), at any time. Adjust the pres-
sure gradually, while checking the air
output gauge to set the right pressure
range.
Inspect the air connections for leaks.
8.
Repair any leaks found.
If the tool will not be used at this
9.
time, turn off and detach the air sup-
ply, safely discharge any residual air
pressure, and release the throttle
and/or turn the switch to its off posi-
tion to prevent accidental operation.
note:
Residual air pressure should not be
present after the tool is disconnected
from the air supply. However, it is a
good safety measure to attempt to
discharge the tool in a safe fashion
after disconnecting to ensure that all
excess air has been discharged.

inspect tool before use, looking
for damaged, loose, and
missing parts. if any problems
are found, do not use tool until
repaired.
Use hook and loop sand paper (not
1.
supplied) for this Air Reciprocating
Sander. Large sheets can be eas-
ily cut to size. The correct size sand
paper is 2-7/16” L X 3/4” W
The recommended air hose for this
2.
Air Reciprocating Sander is at least
3/8” (delivering no more than maxi-
mum of 90° PSI). The air inlet size is
1/4”-18 NPT.
Connect an air compressor to an air
3.
pressure regulator and set the air
pressure to 90 PSI.
Apply sand paper (not supplied) to
4.
the Plate (34). Cut the sand paper to
size if necessary.
Secure all workpieces with a clamp
5.
or vise so pressure will not cause the
workpiece to shift its position. Use
the Air Reciprocating Sander with one
hand only. Keep your free hand clear
of the sanding operation.
Connect the Air Reciprocating Sander
6.
to the air compressor hose at Air
Regulator Assembly (30).
Grip the Handle (35) with one hand,
7.
depress the Air Valve Lever (28) and
the oscillation will begin. The speed
of the oscillation can be controlled by
turning the Air Regulator Knob (36).
The closer the dial is to “MAX”, the
faster the oscillation will be.
Allow the motor to reach its full speed
8.
before starting to sand.
Always keep a safe distance from
9.
the Sanding Plate (34) while the Air
Reciprocating Sander is operating.
Do not apply excess pressure. If the
Sanding Plate (34) slows down while
you are sanding, you are applying too
much pressure. Allow the Air Recip-
rocating Sander to do the job.
