IMPORTANT: To operate correctly, this tool requires airflow that is at least 5.2
Standard Cubic Feet per Minute (SCFM) per minute at 90 pounds per square
inch (PSI). Check the specifications of your air compressor to be sure that it
can support both the minimum SCFM and PSI required. The air hose length
could affect how much air pressure the tool is actually receiving. You may
need to adjust the air pressure higher on the air regulator to achieve the
working pressure of 90 PSI.

WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
This particular air powered tool can
be capable of propelling materials
such as fasteners, metal chips,
sawdust, and other debris at high
speed which could result in serious
injury.
Always wear ANSI approved Z87.1
safety glasses.
Never leave operating tool
unattended.
Disconnect air hose when tool is not
in use, and place in a safe area.
Compressed air can be hazardous
and propel objects and other
particles that can cause injury to soft
tissue areas of the body, such as
eyes and ears. Particles or objects
propelled by the air coming from the
exhaust can cause injury.
For additional protection, use an
approved face shield in addition to
safety glasses.
Tool attachments can become
loose or break and fly apart
propelling articles at the operator
and others in the work area.
Make sure that any attachments are
securely fastened and properly
assembled before use.
Always use the tool at a safe
distance from others in the work area
and ensure the work area is safe at
all times.
RISK OF LOSS OF HEARING
RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION
Always wear ANSI S3.19 hearing
protection.
Exposure to noise produced from the
operation of air tools can lead to
permanent hearing loss.
A rotary tool is capable of
generating sparks, which can result
in ignition of flammable materials.
Never operate tools near flammable
substances such as gasoline,
naphtha, cleaning solvents, etc.
Work in a clean, well-ventilated area
free of combustible materials.
Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide
or other bottled gasses as a power
source for air tools.

improper way, or used in a manner
which is not intended for the tool.
Keep the working part of the tool
away from hands and body.
This tool is not provided with an
insulated gripping surface. Contact
with a “live” wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the tool “live”
and can result in electrical shock,
electrocution or death.
Air tool accessories that come into
contact with hidden electrical wiring
could cause electrocution or death.
Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
refrigerators, and ranges. There is
an increased risk of electrical shock
if your body is grounded.
Thoroughly investigate the work
piece/area for possible hidden wiring
before performing work.

SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY
Loss of control of the tool can lead
to injury to self of others in the work
area.
Poor quality, improper or damaged
tools and attachments can fly apart
during operation, propelling particles
through the work area causing
serious injury.
Improperly maintained tools and
accessories can cause serious injury.
There is a risk of bursting if the tool
is damaged.
Check for misalignment 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.
Wiping or cleaning flammable waste
materials that may have been used
on tool must be placed in a tightly
closed metal container and disposed
of in a proper manner.
Maintain the tool and accessories
with care.
Keep tools clean and properly oiled
for best and safest performance.
Always use tool attachments rated
for the speed of the power tool.
Never use tools which have been
dropped, impacted, or are damaged.
Do not apply excessive force to the
tool; let the tool perform the work.
Never use a tool that is leaking air,
has missing or damaged parts, or
requires repairs.
Keep proper footing at all times. Do
not overreach, as slipping, tripping,
and or falling can be a major cause
of serious injury and/or death. Be
aware of excess air hose and power
plugs in the working area or work
surface.
Keep handles dry, clean and free
from oil/grease.
Stay alert. Use common sense. Do
not operate tool when you are tired.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
REMOVE SANDING PAD

NOTE The tool features an air regulating
knob (E). The tool speed can be adjusted by
turning the air regulator knob (E) either
clockwise or counterclockwise. The maximum
tool speed can be obtained when the
concave line on the knob (E) is pointing
horizontally (See Figure 2).
When first making contact with the surface
you intend to sand, ensure the speed is set to
the lowest setting. Gradually increase the
power/speed as needed for your particular
sanding application instead of using too
much power/speed from the start.

NOTE If the sanding pad will not come loose,
1. Push in on the spindle lock button (D) and
rotate the spindle until you hear the
spindle lock into position. Loosen and
remove the sanding pad (B) by spinning
the pad in a counterclockwise direction.
there are 2 holes on either side of the spindle
lock button (See Figure 2).

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
REMOVE SANDING PAD
ALWAYS DISCONNECT TOOL FROM THE AIR SUPPLY BEFORE
PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE ON THE TOOL.
Always make sure the tool is properly lubricated during operation. Proper
lubrication is shown in this instruction manual.
An in-line oiler (not included) is recommended to help increase tool life and
keep the tool properly lubricated. The in-line oiler should be regularly
checked and filled with air tool oil as needed. Proper adjustment of the in-line
oiler can be performed by placing a sheet of paper next to the tool’s exhaust
ports while holding the throttle completely open for 30 seconds. When a light
stain of oil collects on the paper, the oiler is properly adjusted. Excessive
amounts of oil should be avoided.
STORING:
Tool must be well cleaned and lightly lubricated before storing.
Store tool in a dry, safe place out of the reach of children.
Clean the entire tool and lubricate the tool with a cotton rag after each use.
If storing the tool for an extended period, and run for approximately
30 seconds to ensure oil has been evenly distributed throughout the tool.
Always store tools in a clean, dry environment away from the reach of
children.
Recommended lubricants: air-tool oil or any other high grade turbine oil
containing moisture absorbent, rust inhibitors, metal wetting agents and an
EP (Extreme Pressure) additive. Consult your local retailer for further
assistance in selecting air tool oil best suited for proper lubrication.
2. Place the end of a #2 Phillips screwdriver
(not included) into one of the holes and
push in on the spindle lock button. You
can hold the screwdriver and push in the
spindle lock button with the same hand.
Using your other hand, loosen and remove
the sanding pad (B) by spinning the pad
counterclockwise (See Figure 3).

5. Pressure drops.
7. Moisture blowing
out of tool exhaust.
6. Worn rotor blade. 6. Replace rotor blade.
7. Water in tank; a. drain tank. (See air
compressor manual). b. Oil tool and
run until no water is evident. Oil tool
again and run 1-2 seconds.
5. a. Be sure the hose is the proper size.
Tool using large volumes of air may
require a hose with an I.D. of 1/2 in.
or larger depending on the total
length of the hoses.
b. Do not use a multiple number of
hoses connected together with
quick-connect fittings. This causes
additional pressure drops and
reduces the tool power. Directly
connect the hoses together.
