SAFETY RULES
Do not exceed maximum operating pressure of the air tool. The orbit sander
could explode and result in death or serious injury.
Disconnect the tool from air compressor before changing tools or accessories,
servicing and during non-operation.
Do not depress trigger when connecting the air hose.
Never trigger the tool when not applied to a work object. Accessories must be
securely attached.
Make sure all connections are secure and check air hoses for weak or worn
condition before each use.
Never mount grinding wheels on the orbit sander.

LUBRICATION
An automatic in-line filter-regulator-lubricator is recommended (Fig. 1) as it
increases tool life and keeps the tool in sustained operation. The in-line lubricator
should be regularly checked and filled with air tool oil.
Proper adjustment of the in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet of
paper next to the exhaust ports and holding the throttle open approximately 30
seconds. The lubricator is properly set when a light stain of oil collects on the
paper. Excessive amounts of oil should be avoided.
In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended period of
time (overnight, weekend, etc.), it should receive a generous amount of
lubrication at that time. The tool should be run for approximately 30 seconds to
ensure oil has been evenly distributed throughout the tool. The tool should be
stored in a clean and dry environment.
It is most important that the tool be properly lubricated by keeping the air line
lubricator filled and correctly adjusted. Without proper lubrication the tool will
not work properly and parts will wear prematurely.
Use the proper lubricant in the air line lubricator. The lubricator should be of
low air flow or changing air flow type, and should be kept filled to the correct
level. Use only recommended lubricants, specially made for pneumatic
applications. Substitutes may harm the rubber compounds in the tools, O-rings
and other rubber parts.
