INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATION
3.1. Air Supply
3.1.1. Ensure the sander air valve (or throttle) is in the "Off" position before connecting to the air supply.
3.1.2. You will require an air pressure between 70-90psi, and an air flow according to the specification above.
3.1.3.
p
WARNING!
Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi while operating the sander.
Too high an air pressure and/or unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear, and may
be dangerous, causing damage and/or personal injury.
3.1.4. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the sander
and will invalidate your warranty.
3.1.5. Clean air inlet filter weekly. Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig. 1.
3.1.6. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).
The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
3.1.7. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear and make certain that all
connections are secure.
3.2. Couplings
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the
air sander. To overcome this, connect a leader hose to the sander. A quick change
coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose.
See figs. 1 & 2.

PREPARING SANDER FOR USE
1.2.
LEAD PAINT WARNING!
Paint once contained lead as a traditional ingredient. The dust caused by the removal of such paint is
toxic and must therefore be avoided. The following action must be taken before using the sander on
a surface that you suspect may contain lead paint.
1.
User must determine potential hazard relating to age of paint to be removed (modern paints do
not have lead content).
2.
DANGER!
Keep all persons and pets away from the working area. The following are particularly
vulnerable to the effects of lead paint dust:
Pregnant women, babies and children.
3.
We recommend personal protection by using the following safety items:
a
) Paint Spray Respirator (Our ref SSP16EN)
b
) PE Coated Hooded Coverall (Our ref SSP267).
c
) Latex Gloves (Our ref SSP24).
4.
Take adequate measures to contain the paint dust, flakes and scrapings.
5.
Continue to wear safety equipment as in (3) and thoroughly clean all areas when task is complete.
6.
Ensure paint waste is disposed of in sealed bags or containers.
