IMPORTANT: The use of air filters and air line lubricators is 
recommended. 

To use:

l

Turn air compressor on and allow air tank to fill.

l

Set the air compressor’s regulator to 90 PSI. This tool operates at a maximum 

90 PSI

pressure. 

l

Depress trigger to operate tool. 

l

Release trigger to stop tool.

Tips

l

Begin sanding with an abrasive grit sandpaper coarse enough to remove the high
spots. Progress to a finer grit sandpaper until the desired finish is obtained.

l

Never change from coarse grit sandpaper to a very fine grit sandpaper, always
progress to the finer grit.

Lubrication

Air tools require lubrication throughout the life of the tool. The air motor and bearing uses
compressed air to power the tool. Because moisture in compressed air will rust the air
motor, you must lubricate the motor daily. An inline oiler is recommended.

To lubricate the air motor manually:

l

Disconnect the tool from the air supply holding it so the air inlet faces up.

l

Depress the trigger and place one to two drops of air tool oil in the air inlet
Depressing the trigger helps circulate oil in the motor. 

NOTE

: Use SAE #10 weight oil

if air tool oil is not available.

l

Connect the tool to an air source, cover the exhaust end with a towel and run for a
few seconds.

Any excess oil in the motor is immediately expelled
from the exhaust port. Always direct exhaust port

away from people or objects.

Failure to lubricate the tool at the air inlet will void
your warranty.
