Operating instructions
read the EntirE iMpOrtant SaFEty inFOrMatiOn section at the beginning of this manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
inspect tool before use, looking for damaged, loose, and missing parts. if any problems are found, do not use tool until repaired.
tool Set up
tO prEVEnt SEriOuS inJury FrOM acciDEntaL OpEratiOn: turn off the tool, detach the air supply, safely discharge any residual air pressure in the tool, and release the throttle and/or turn the switch to its off position before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
tO prEVEnt SEriOuS inJury:
Do not adjust or tamper with any control or component in a way not specifically explained within this manual. improper adjustment can result in tool failure or other serious hazards.
installing Sanding Disc
1. Detach air supply from the Sander.
2. Connect the Pressure-Sensitive Sanding Disc
(sold separately) to the face of the Backing Pad by pressing it firmly in place.
Use only 6″ diameter pressure-Sensitive Sanding (pSa) discs.
Sanding Disc
Workpiece and Work area Set up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit.
The work area must not allow access by children or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the air hose along a safe route to reach the work area without creating a tripping hazard or exposing the hose to possible damage.
The hose must be long enough to reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working.
3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be hazardous objects
(such as utility lines or foreign objects) nearby that will present a hazard while working.
5. Disconnect the air supply when replacing the sand paper or backing pad. Replace the PSA sandpaper disc with the grit of choice.
6. The 6″ diameter Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) sandpaper discs attach to the Backing Pad, just press the sanding disc onto the Backing Pad. The
PSA sanding discs are standard and sold separately.

General Operating instructions
1. If an automatic oiler is not used, add a few drops of Pneumatic Tool Oil to the airline connection before use. Add a few drops more after each hour of continual use.
2. Wipe the work surface clean of all dirt and debris, especially that of previous coarse grit sanding sessions, which will scratch the surface of a finer grit sanding session.
3. Attach the desired grit sanding disc (sold separately) onto the Backing Pad.
4. Attach the air supply.
5. Pressing down on the Trigger with the palm of your hand starts the Sander. Grip the Sander but with the palm of the hand not pressing down.
With the sanding pad placed flat on the working surface, press down on the Trigger with the palm of the hand to begin the sanding operation.
cautiOn!
Start and stop the Sander while it is held firmly against the work surface. Applying the Sander to the workpiece while running with the sanding pad tilted will sand a groove into the workpiece and may cause the Sander to move in the direction of rotation, resulting in loss of control of the tool.
6. The speed of the Sander may be varied by turning the air Regulator Value.
note:
Do not allow free, no-load rotating at high speed to avoid possible injury or damage to the tool.
7. Keep heavy pressure off of the Sander when operating. Allow the sanding disc to do the work.
8. Move the Sander in a uniform pattern up and down or side to side to ensure even sanding.
9. Periodically, stop the Sander and check for possible disc wear. Replace used or worn sanding discs when necessary.
10. If the tool requires more force to accomplish the task, verify that the tool receives sufficient, unobstructed airflow (CFM) and increase the pressure (PSI) output of the regulator up to the maximum air pressure rating of this tool.
cautiOn! tO prEVEnt inJury FrOM tOOL Or accESSOry FaiLurE:
Do not exceed the tool’s maximum air pressure rating.
If the tool still does not have sufficient force at maximum pressure and sufficient airflow, then a larger tool may be required.
11. To prevent accidents, after use, release the Trigger, detach the air supply and then safely discharge any residual air pressure in the tool. Clean external surfaces of the tool with a clean, dry cloth.
Then store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
