Air Supply And Connection Hazards

!

Air under pressure can cause severe injury.

!

Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and disconnect tool 
from air supply when not in use, before changing accessories or when 
making repairs.

!

Never direct air at yourself or anyone else.

!

Whipping hoses can cause serious injury. Always check for damaged or 
loose hoses and fittings.

!

Do not use quick disconnect couplings at tool. See instructions for 
correct setup.

!

Whenever universal twist couplings are used, lock pins must be 
installed.

!

Do not exceed maximum air pressure of 90 psi/6.2 bar or as stated on 
tool nameplate.

Projectile Hazards

!

Always wear impact-resistant eye and face protection when involved 
with or near the operation, repair or maintenance of the tool or changing 
accessories on the tool.

!

Be sure all others in the area are wearing impact-resistant eye and face 
protection.

!

Even small projectiles can injure eyes and cause blindness.

Entanglement Hazards

!

Keep away from moving sand pad.

!

Do not wear jewelry or loose clothing.

!

Scalping can occur if hair is not kept away from the tool and accessories.

!

Choking can occur if neckwear is not kept away from the tool and 
accessories.

Operating Hazards

!

Never mount a grinding wheel on a sander. A grinding wheel that bursts 
can cause very serious injury or death when not properly guarded.

!

Use only coated abrasive sanding discs or sheets properly secured to 
the backing pad provided with the air sander. 

!

Inspect backing pad before each use. Do not use if cracked or damaged.

!

Avoid direct contact with moving sanding pad to prevent pinching or 
cutting of hands or other body parts. Wear gloves to protect hands.

!

Operators and maintenance personnel must be physically able to handle 
the power of the tool and capable of performing the job task.

!

When using a tool that is designed to have a guard, the guard should be 
in place to offer protection from grinding swarf or flying debris.

Workplace Hazards

!

Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of serious injury or death. Be aware of 
excess hose left on the walking or work surface.

!

Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.

!

High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. Use hearing 
protection as recommended by your employer or OSHA regulation (see 
29 CFR part 1910).

!

Repetitive work motions, awkward positions and exposure to vibration 
can be harmful to hands and arms. If numbness, tingling, pain or 
whitening of the skin occurs, stop using tool and consult a physician.

!

Avoid inhaling dust or handling debris from the work process which can 
be harmful to your health. Use dust extraction and wear respiratory 
protective equipment when working with materials which produce 
airborne particles.

!

This tool is not intended for use in explosive atmospheres and is not 
insulated for contact with electric power sources.

!

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other 
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of 
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. 
Some examples of these chemicals are:

- Lead from lead based paints
- Crystalline silica bricks and cement and other masonry products
- And Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated rubber

Your risk from these 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 specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

!

For professional use only.

To  reduce  risk  of  injury,  everyone  using,  installing, 
repairing, maintaining, changing accessories on, or 
working  near  this  tool  must  read  and  understand 
these instructions before performing any such task.

Air Supply Requirements

1. Supply tool with 90 psig (6.2 bar) of clean, dry air. Higher pressure drastically reduces 

tool life.

2. Connect tool to air line using pipe, hose and fitting sizes shown in the diagram on 

page 12.

Lubrication

Use an air line lubricator with SAE #10 oil, adjusted to two drops per minute. If an air 
line lubricator cannot be used, add air motor oil to the inlet once a day.

Operation

To apply sanding strip, raise each lever on the end of sanding shoe.  Place

 

one end of paper under clamp and lock lever. Pull paper firmly over sanding shoe and 
secure clamp.

Noise & Vibration Declaration*

Sound pressure level 93 dB(A) in accordance with EN ISO 15744.  For sound power, 
add 10 dB(A).

Vibration value 19 m/s , re. EN ISO 20643.

Maintenance

1. Disassemble and inspect parts every three months if the tool is used every day. 

Replace damaged or worn parts.

2. High wear parts are underlined in the parts list.

* These declared values were obtained by laboratory type testing in compliance with the stated 
standards and are not adequate for use in risk assessments. Values measured in individual 
work places may be higher than the declared values. The actual exposure values and risk of 
harm experienced by an individual user are unique and depend upon the way the user works, 
the workpiece and the workstation design, as well as upon the exposure time and the physical 
condition of the user. We, Chicago Pneumatic, cannot be held liable for the consequences of 
using the declared values, instead of values reflecting the actual exposure, in an individual risk 
assessment in a work place situation over which we have no control.
