3M™ Inline Sander accessories are designed for use on 3M Inline Sanders.
Constructed from premium, industrial-quality materials, their durability and
precise construction are the ideal complement to the performance of the 3M
Inline Sander. See Product Configuration/Specifications table for mounting
information for a particular model.
1. Read all instructions before using this tool. All operators must be fully
trained in its use and aware of these safety rules.
2. The tool RPM should be checked on a regular basis to ensure proper
operating speed. This check should be done by inserting a touch-type
tachometer into the spindle of the tool without an abrasive product mounted.
3. Make sure the tool is disconnected from the air supply. Select suitable
abrasive, mounting hardware and accessories and secure them to the
spindle. Be careful to center the abrasive & mounting hardware.
4. Always wear required safety equipment when using this tool.
5. Always remove the air supply to the sander before fitting, adjusting or
removing the abrasive & mounting hardware.
6. Always adopt a firm footing and grip and be aware of torque reaction
developed by the sander.
7. Use only 3M approved spare parts.
8. Always ensure the material being worked is firmly fixed to avoid movement.
9. Check hose and fittings regularly for wear. Do not carry the tool by its hose;
always be careful to prevent the tool from being started when carrying the
tool with the air supply connected.
10. Dust is highly combustible.
11. If tool is serviced or rebuilt check to ensure that the maximum tool RPM is
not exceeded and that there is no excessive tool vibration.
12. Do not exceed maximum recommended air pressure. Use safety equipment
as recommended.
13. Prior to installing any abrasive, wheel or mounting hardware, always check
that their marked maximum operating speed is equal or higher than the
rated speed of this tool.
14. The tool is not electrically insulated. Do not use where there is a possibility
of contact with live electricity, gas pipes, and/or water pipes.
15. This tool is not protected against hazards inherent in grinding and cutting
operations, which require a guard, and no such grinding and cutting
products should ever be attached.
16. Take care to avoid entanglement with the moving parts of the tool with
clothing, ties, hair, cleaning rags or loose hanging objects. If entangled, stop
air supply immediately to avoid contact with moving tool parts.
17. Keep hands clear of the spinning abrasive & mounting hardware or spindle
during use.
18. If the tool appears to malfunction, remove from use immediately and
arrange for service and repair.
19. Immediately release the start handle in the event of any disruption of
pressure; do not attempt to restart until the disruption has been corrected.
20. Do not allow the tool to free spin without taking precautions to protect
any persons or objects from debris from rupturing abrasive & mounting
hardware.
21. When tool is not in use, store in a clean dry environment free of debris.
22. Recycle or dispose of tool according to Local, State, and Federal regulations.
23. Whipping hoses can cause severe injury.
24. Whenever universal twist couplings (claw couplings) are used, lock pins
shall be installed and whip check safety cables shall be used to safe
guard against the possible hose-to-tool connection failure.

3M Inline Sander: Instructions for Mounting
and Dismounting Hardware
1. Disconnect air line from tool.
2. If already mounted, remove spindle mounted accessories and/or
abrasive product by using the wrenches supplied with the tool. Use the
wrenches to hold the tool spindle while turning the spindle extension
and/or mounting hardware counter clockwise.
3. Fully thread new spindle mounted accessories and/or abrasive product
onto the spindle in a clockwise rotation.
4. Secure all spindle mounted accessories and/or abrasive product with the
wrenches and tighten the spindle nut securely. Always use the correct
sized spindle accessories with the matching thread pitch and diameter.
An inadequately secured accessories and/or abrasive product could
loosen, bend or break causing damage to the tool and work piece and
possible injury to the operator or bystanders.
5. After the spindle accessories and/or abrasive product have been
mounted, inspect them to ensure they are free of debris and
undamaged.
6. Re-connect air line, position tool in a safe location, and test for any
unusual noise or vibration which may be caused by damaged or
improperly mounted accessory and/or abrasive product.
Note: During the above steps, ensure that all hardware and abrasive
products are mounted concentrically on the supporting accessory.
