WORK AREA 1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents. 2. Do not operate pneumatic tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Pneumatic tools create sparks which may ignite flammables. 3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a pneumatic tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from debris such as chips and sparks.

2. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed. 3. Do not use the power tool if the Throttle Lever does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the Throttle Lever is dangerous and must be replaced. 4. Disconnect the air hose from the tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.

2. CAUTION! To avoid injury, keep hands and fingers away from the rotating Pad (37). Grip the Sander firmly with both hands. If both hands are holding the Sander, your hands and fingers cannot be cut by the rotating Pad or Sanding Paper (not Included). 3. Always use Sanding Paper with a 6” diameter. Sanding Paper that does not match the Pad (37) diameter of the Sander will run eccentrically causing loss of control or may fly off the Sander. 4.

To Attach Sanding Paper And The Pad: 1. Ensure that the Pad is firmly screwed onto the Drive Spindle (35). The Orbital Hub (28) turns to engage the Drive Spindle (35), allowing the Pad (37) to be threaded on securely. Turn the Orbital Hub (28) back out of the way before use. If the Orbital Hub is still in the locked position during use, then the Sander will not operate properly. (See Figure C.) 2. The Sander only uses 6” diameter, PSA Stick, (self-sticking) Sanding Paper (not included).

To Operate The Sander: 1. IMPORTANT: Before first use, it is recommended to test the Sander on scrap material to determine the cutting capacity of the Sanding Paper. 2. Connect the air supply hose to the Sander. Turn on the air compressor (not included), and set its regulator to the recommended 90 PSI for the Sander. (See Figure A.) 3. In order to keep the air supply hose out of the way, hang it over your shoulder. 4. Grip the Sander firmly with both hands.
