To begin using the tool:
1.
As a standard practice, drain water from the air compressor
tank and air lines prior to use each day (reference your
compressor operators manual for detailed instructions).
2.
Install a 1/4” NPT male connector (not included) into the air
inlet port on the tool (see Figure 2). Note: Use Teflon® Tape
on all threaded connections.
3.
Turn on the air compressor and allow it to build up pressure.
4.
Assemble the sanding pad to the sander:
a.
Position the wrench (included with the sander) onto the
flatened area on the drive spindle (see Figure 3).
b.
Hold the drive spindle stationary with the wrench and
screw the sanding pad clockwise into the drive spindle
until the pad is tight.
5.
Adjust the air compressor’s regulator or the supply line
regulator to 90 PSI.
6.
Attach an adhesive-paper backed sanding disk to the sander
pad by removing the adhesive cover and sticking it on the
round sander pad. (Replacement adhesive sandpaper is
available from Coleman Powermate®. To order, call the
product service number listed on the back page of this
manual.)
Note:Remove used sandpaper from pad before storing
the sander. Sandpaper can be difficult to remove after a
long period of time.
7.
Connect the tool to the air hose quick coupler. NOTE: It is
recommended that a whip hose with a swivel (P012-
0079SP - not included) be used to prevent twisting,
kinking, and excessive wear to the air hose (see figure 1
for recommended connections).
8.
Adjust the regulator control knob (B) to the desired variable speed.
9.
Squeeze trigger gently. Start the sander off the work. Set it down flat on the work surface. Move the sander
slowly back and forth in wide overlapping areas. Let the sander do the work. Do not put additional pressure
on the sander. This slows down the speed of the pad, reducing sanding efficiency and puts additional burden
on the air tool motor.
10.
When finishing sanding, lift sander off the work before releasing the trigger.
NOTE: Proper sanding requires starting with sandpaper just course enough to remove the high spots and surface
roughness and changing to successively finer sandpaper until the desired surface finish is achieved
Always disconnect the tool from the air source before changing sandpaper pads. Do
not operate the tool if the sanding pad is not tightened to the sander.
