Operation
The pneumatic sander must
be properly lubricated before operation. See
“Lubrication” section.
Figure 1
1. Mount 6-in. abrasive disc (not provided) to
the hook-and-loop surface of sanding pad.
Disc should be centered on pad.
2. Adjust speed using air regulator switch.
3. Remove protective cap from air inlet (Figure
1). If an in-line oiler is not being used, add 4
or 5 drops of air tool oil (not included) into the
air inlet.
4. Blow out air line to remove any dirt or
moisture, then connect air supply hose to
tool. Set air pressure to 90 psi.
IMPORTANT: Connecting a quick-change
coupling directly to the tool is not
recommended, as vibration may cause the
connection to fail. Instead, add a leader hose
and install any quick-change couplings
farther down the line.
5. Grip tool with fingers and palm, pressing
down on throttle lever. Allow it to come to full
speed before placing it on workpiece.
6. For best results, keep sander moving while
pressing it to workpiece, and use random
pattern of motion. Do not force the sander,
allow the tool to do the work.
7. Remove sander from workpiece, and release
throttle lever to stop.
To remove sanding pad, insert wrench between
pad and sander to keep spindle stationary.
Unscrew pad counterclockwise from spindle. See
Figure 2.

Maintenance
Lubrication
The sander should be lubricated daily (or before
each use) with air tool oil through the air inlet.
During continual operation, it should be re-oiled
every 1 to 2 hours. This can be done with an in-
line oiler, or manually. If done manually, proceed
as follows:
1. Disconnect air hose from tool.
2. Place 4 or 5 drops of air tool oil into air inlet.
NOTE: Air tool oil not provided; it is available
at most major hardware and tool stores. SAE
#10 oil or sewing machine oil may be used
as a substitute. Do not use detergent oil.
