Proper Use of Tool
This sander is designed for sanding all types of materials i.e. metals, wood, stone, plastics, etc. using
abrasive designed for this purpose. Do not use this sander for any other purpose than specified, without
consulting your MIRKA dealer. Only use MIRKA backing pad (125 mm (5") Code: 8292502011, 150 mm
(6") Code: 8292605011) that are designed for optimal performance with the brake seal. Never mount
a backing pad without distance washer. Other backing pad may reduce performance and will increase
vibrations.
Operating instructions
The tool is intended to be operated as a hand held tool. The tool can be used in any position. The operator
must ensure to have a secure position with a firm grip and footing on solid floor. Note! The sander can
develop a torque reaction when started.
The tool is equipped with a cover to protect the operator from exhaust air. To attach air supply, lift up the
cover and connect air supply, close the cover before operating the tool. Use a clean lubricated air supply
that will give a measured air pressure at the tool of 6.2 bar (90 psig) when the tool is running with the
lever fully pressed. It is recommended to use an approved 10 mm (3/8 in.) x 8 m (25 ft) maximum length
air hose. The tool should be connected to the air supply as shown in Figure 1.
Do not connect the tool to the compressed air system without incorporating an easy to reach and operate
air shut off valve. It is strongly recommended that an air filter, regulator and lubricator (FRL) are used as
shown in Figure 1 as this will supply clean, lubricated air at the correct pressure to the tool. Details of
such equipment can be obtained from your supplier. If such equipment is not used the tool should be
manually lubricated.
To manually lubricate the tool, disconnect the air hose and put 2 to 3 drops of supplied oil or Wurth art. nr.
08930505 into the air connection on the tool. Reconnect the tool to the air supply and run the tool slowly
for a few seconds to allow air to circulate the oil. If the tool is used frequently, lubricate it on a daily basis.
Lubricate the tool before longer storage or if the tool slows down or loses power.
It is recommended that the air pressure at the tool is 6.2 bar (90 psig) while the tool is running. The tool
can run at lower pressures but never higher than 6.2 bar (90 psig).
