Operation...
Start the sander off the work, set it down on the work
evenly and move it slowly back and forth in wide,
overlapping areas. Additional pressure may be used to
make more efficient use of the tool when material to be
cut is thick. Lighter pressure may be used in delicate
sanding or when using edges of sanding pad. When
finished sanding, lift it off the work before stopping the
motor.
MATCO TOOLS™ 1 YEAR LIMITED
WARRANTY FOR AIR TOOLS
Matco warrants its air tools for a period of 1 year to the
consumer. We will repair any air tool covered under this
warranty which proves to be defective in material or
workmanship during the warranty period. In order to
have your tool repaired, return the tool to any Matco
Authorized Warranty Center, freight prepaid. Please
include a copy of your proof of purchase and a brief
description of the problem. The tool will be inspected and
if any part or parts are found to be defective in material
or workmanship, they will be repaired free of charge and
the repaired tool will be returned to you freight prepaid.
This warranty gives you specific rights. You may also have
other rights which vary from state to state.
The foregoing obligation is Matco's sole liability under
this or any implied warranty and under no circumstances
shall Matco be liable for any incidental or consequential
damages.
Note: Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation
of incidental or consequential damages so the above
limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
Air Supply...
Tools of this class operate on a wide range of air
pressures. It is recommended that air pressure of these
tools measures 90 PSI at the tool while running free.
Higher pressure (over 90 psig; 6.2 bar) raises
performance beyond the rated capacity of the tool which
will shorten the tool’s life because of faster wear and
could cause injury.
Always use clean, dry air. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or
water in the air line will cause damage to the tool. Drain
the air tank daily. Clean the air inlet filter screen on at
least a weekly schedule. The recommended hookup
procedure can be viewed in the above figure.
The air inlet used for connecting air supply, has
standard 1/4" NPT . Line pressure should be increased to
compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 25 feet).
Minimum hose diameter should be 3/8" I.D. and fittings
should have the same inside dimensions and be tightly
secured.
Lubrication...
Lubricate the air motor daily with quality air tool oil. If no
air line oiler is used, run a teaspoon of oil through the
tool. The oil can be squirted into the tool air inlet or into
the hose at the nearest connection to the air supply, then
run the tool. The amount of oil to be used is 1 ounce.
Overfilling will cause a reduction in the power of the tool.
