Air tools require lubrication throughout the life of the tool otherwise moisture in the compressed air will rust the
air motor. Correct lubrication is vital for the maximum performance of the air tool and an airline lubricator
should be fitted into the system down stream of the filter. Failure to lubricate the tool at the air inlet will void
your warranty.
Either use an air line lubricator with air tool oil adjusted to two drops per
minute, or if an air line lubricator cannot be used, add a teaspoon of air
motor oil to the inlet or into the hose at the nearest connection to the air
supply once a day and then run the tool (See fig. 1). ISO Grade VG22 oil is
recommended. A rust inhibitive oil is acceptable for air tools.
Any excess oil in the motor is expelled immediately from the exhaust port.
Always direct the exhaust port away from people or objects.
Do not lubricate the tool with flammable or volatile liquids such as paraffin (kerosene), diesel or jet fuel.

DUST COLLECTION
Always wear a protective dust mask in addition to using a dust extraction hose.
The Orbital Sander generates its own vacuum. Kobe Tools thoroughly
recommends that the Orbital Sander is connected to a Portable Dust
Collection System (See fig. 2) which is sold separately (See page 6) or
connected to a central vacuuming system.
OPERATION
Remove foreign objects such as nails and screws from the work piece
before commencing sanding.
1.
Carry out daily inspection and lubrication of the tool.
2.
Remove the plastic dust cap using a pair of pliers (See fig. 3).
3.
The amount the throttle lever is pressed down, will determine the
speed of the tool (See fig. 4).
4.
Adjust the power regulator on
the top of the Orbital Sander
by turning it in either direction
(See fig. 5).
5.
To get an even finish, move
the Orbital Sander up and
down and then change the
direction from left to right
(See fig. 6).
6.
To avoid unwanted swirl
marks, place the Orbital
Sander on the material and
then switch it on. When
finished sanding, remove the
Orbital Sander and then switch
it off.
7.
Beware of the tool running on
for some time after the throttle
lever is released.
