Those items marked with an asterisk (*) are already
supplied with your Kobe Mini Belt Sander Kit model

Other factors outside the tool may cause loss of power or erratic action. Reduced compressor output,
excessive drain on the airline, moisture or restrictions in air pipes or the use of hose connections of
improper size or poor conditions may reduce air supply. If outside conditions are in order and the tool still
runs erratically, disconnect the tool from the air hose and take it to your local Kobe agent.

arm shown above to be purchased
seperately.
