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 that specified without consulting the manufacturer or the manufacturer’s authorized supplier.

Do not use back-up pads that have a working speed less than the tool’s declared operating speed.

Use only back-up pads that are specifically designed to be used with the particular tools that pad will be mounted to.

Do not use pads that are a different weight or size than that tool was designed for.

Work Stations

The tool is intended to be operated as a hand held tool. It is always recommended that the tool be used when standing on a solid floor. It can be in any position but before any such use, the operator must be in a secure position having a firm grip and footing and be aware that the sander can develop a torque reaction. See the section “Operating Instructions”.

 

Putting the Tool into Service

Use a clean lubricated air supply that will give a measured air pressure at the tool of 90 psig (6.2 bar) maximum when the tool is running with the level fully depressed. It is recommended to use an approved 3/8 in. (10 mm) x 25 ft (8 m) maximum length airline. It is recommended that the tool be connected to the air supply as shown in Figure 1. Do not connect the tool to airline system without incorporating an easy to reach and operate air shut off valve. The air supply should be lubricated. It is strongly recommended that an air filter, regulator and lubricator (FRL) be 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 then the tools should be lubricated by shutting off air supply to the tool, depresurizeing the line by pressing the level on the tool. Disconnecting the airline and putting 2 to 3 drops of suitable pneumatic motor lubricating oil, preferably incorporating at a rust inhibitor into the hose end (inlet) of the machine. Reconnect tool to air supply and run tool slowly for a few seconds to allow air to circulate the oil. If tool is used frequently lubricate on daily basis and if tool starts to slow or lose power.

It is recommended that the air pressure at the tool is 90 psig (6.2 bar) while the tool is running. The tool can run at lower pressures but never higher than 90 psig (6.2 bar).
