Read Operating Instructions
Please become familiar with all the
instructions and warnings before
operating any pneumatic tool.
Always Wear Approved Eye Protection
Impact resistant eye protection should
meet or exceed the standards set forth in
ANSI Z87.1, Occupational and
Educational Eye and Face Protection.
Look for marking Z87.1 on your eye
protection to ensure that it is an approved
style.
Hearing Protection is Recommended
Hearing protection should be used when
the noise level exposure equals or
exceeds an 8 hour time-weighted average
sound level of 85dBA. Process noise,
reflective surfaces, other tools being
operated nearby, all add to the noise level
in a given work area. If you are unable to
determine your noise level exposure, we
recommend the use of hearing protection.
Avoid Prolonged Exposure to Vibration
Pneumatic tools can vibrate during use.
Prolonged exposure to vibration or very
repetitive hand and arm movements can
cause injury. Discontinue the use of any
tool if you experience tingling, numbness,
discomfort or pain in your hands or arms.
You should consult your physician before
resuming use of tool.
pressure of 90 pounds per square inch
gauge pressure (90 PSI) maximum, at the
tool. Use of higher air pressure can, and
may cause injury. Also, the use of higher
air pressure places the internal
components under loads and stresses
they were not designed for, causing
premature tool failure.
California Prop 65
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
Lead from lead based paint, crystalline
silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, arsenic and
chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from those exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as dust masks
that are specifically designed to filter
out microscopic particles.

Disconnect the air tool from air supply
before changing tools or attachments,
servicing and during non-operation.
Do not depress trigger when connecting
the air supply hose.
Never trigger the tool when not applied
to a work object.
Attachments must be securely
attached. Loose attachments can cause
serious injury.
Protect air lines from damage or
puncture.
Never point an air tool at oneself or any
other person. Serious injury could occur.
Check air hoses for weak or worn
conditions before each use. Make sure all
connections are secure.
Release all pressure from the system
before attempting to install, service,
relocate or perform any maintenance.
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight
and ensure equipment is in safe working
condition.
Never carry a tool by the hose or pull
the hose to move the tool or a
compressor. Keep hoses away from
heat, oil and sharp edges. Replace any
hose that is damaged, weak or worn.
Use attachments designed for use with
air powered tool. Always examine
accessories before mounting for chips,
cracks, or signs of damage.
Never use mounted points or other
accessories that have been dropped or
exposed to water, solvent or extreme
temperature changes, it is a good practice
to operate the tool in a protected
enclosure for one minute after mounting
any accessory.
Always use accessories with an RPM
rating that meets or exceeds the tool
RPM rating.
Inhalation hazard: Abrasive tools, such
as grinders, sanders and cut-off tools
generate dust and abrasive materials
which can be harmful to human lungs
and respiratory system. Always wear
MSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting
face mask or respirator when using
such tools.
Some materials such as adhesives and
tar, contain chemicals whose vapors
could cause serious injury with
prolonged exposure. Always work in a
clean, dry, well ventilated area.
Tools which contain moving elements,
or drive other moving tools, such as
grinding wheels, sockets, sanding
discs, etc., can become entangled in
hair, clothing, jewelry and other loose
objects, resulting in severe injury.
Never wear loose fitting apparel which
contains loose straps or ties, that could
become tangled in moving parts of the
tool. Remove any jewelry, watches, etc.,
which might become caught by the
tool. Keep hands away from moving
parts. Tie up or cover long hair.
Improperly maintained tools and
accessories can cause serious injury.
Maintain the tool with care. A properly
maintained tool, with sharp cutting
edges, reduces the risk of binding and
is easier to control.
There is a risk of bursting if the tool is
damaged. Check for misallgnment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that
affects the tool's operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using.
Tools which cut, shear, drill, staple,
punch, chisel, etc. are capable of
causing serious injury. Keep the
working part of the tool away from
hands and body.
After an air tool has been lubricated, oil
will discharge through the exhaust port
during the first few seconds of
operation. Thus, the exhaust port must
be covered with a towel before applying
air pressure.
Always disconnect sander from air
supply before attaching the sanding
pad. Do not operate the sander if
sanding pad is not securely tightened.
Always replace a worn or damaged
pad. Serious injury could occur.

Air Hose Hook Up
Never carry a tool by the hose or pull the
hose to move the tool or a compressor.
Before the tool is connected to the air
supply, clear the air hose of accumulated
dust and moisture by running air freely
through the air hose for 5-10 seconds.
Keep hoses away from heat, oil and sharp
edges. Replace any hose that is damaged,
weak or worn.

Figure 1 Illustrates a recommended air
hose hook up.
A 3/8 inch ID air hose is required up to a
length of 25 feet. A 3/8 inch ID hose
is shown. Some helpful tips are:
Always use hoses and pipes rated for
higher pressure than your system will
encounter.
longer than 25 feet will cause a pressure
drop and may impede performance. If
more length is required, a ½ inch ID air
hose is recommended. Be sure all hoses
and fittings are the correct size and
correctly secured before using the tool.
Never use PVC pipes for
compressed air piping systems as
explosion and serious injury may
result.

movement of the compressor.
Route the initial take-off line (pipe) as
straight up the shop wall and as high
as possible. This will help minimize
water leaving the compressor and
traveling through system
Slope the main lines down at least
3/4 inch per 10 feet of pipe away
from air compressor; this will draw
the condensate with the flow of air
and away from the compressor.
Place the first drop as far from the
compressor as the size of your shop
will allow (50 feet is optimal, although
unrealistic for a small shop). The
further the drop, the more that
condensation can occur, and the
drier the air will be when it reaches
the water separator.
In order to reduce the amount of
water and contaminants that get into
the water separator, install the take-
off line on the top of the main air
supply line for each air drop.
A Drain line should be placed at the
end of the main line for condensate
drainage.
Drain valves should be placed at the
end of branch lines and the drain
line, and drained daily.
SPEED ADJUSTMENT
This sander is equipped with a regulator
for speed adjustment (See Replacement
Parts List for Specifications).
ATTACHING SANDING PAD
6-IN. SANDERS
Adhesive backed discs are recommended.
To apply the sandpaper, align outside
edge and press self adhesive paper onto
the pad. Change sandpaper as needed.
To remove the sanding pad, insert the pad
wrench in between the pad cover and
sanding pad. Rotate the pad until the
wrench engages on the two flat edges of
the balancer shaft. Once engaged, hold
the wrench tightly and rotate the sanding
pad to the right to tighten and left to
loosen.
To use vacuum feature, remove the
vacuum cover (Ref. #43) attach your
vacuum hose. A vacuum hose adapter /
reducer may need to be purchased
separately to adapt your vacuum hose to
the tool.
