SERVICE
1. Tool service must be performed only by quali-
fied repair personnel.

or specified by the manufacturer.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR PNEUMATIC
SANDERS
This pneumatic tool is designed to be used
with an appropriate abrasive for sanding met-
als, wood, stone, plastics and other materials. It
should only be used for such sanding applica-
tions and within its marked capacity and ratings.
Only accessories specifically recommended by
manufacturer should be used with this tool. Use
in any other manner or with other accessories
could lead to unsafe operating conditions. Do
not operate tool in water or in an excessively
wet application.
• Exposure to DUST generated from workpiece
and/or abrasive materials can result in lung
damage and/or other physical injury. Use dust
capture or local exhaust as stated in the safety
information sheet. Wear government-approved
respiratory protection and eye and skin protec-
tion. Failure to follow this warning can result in
serious lung damage and/or physical injury.
To reduce the risks associated with accessory
rupture or disintegration:
• Never exceed marked maximum input pres-
sure of 90 PSI.
• Use care in attaching sandpapers; follow the
instructions to ensure that it is securely attached
to the tool before use.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR THE OP-
ERATION
1. Make sure the tool is disconnected from the
air supply. Choose an appropriate abrasive and
secure it to the base of the sandpaper with the
clamps.
2. When sanding always turn the tool on the
workpiece. This will prevent dents from occur-
ring due to excessive speed of the abrasive. Stop
the flow of air to the tool as it is removed from
the workpiece.
3. Always remove the air supply from the sander
before attaching, adjusting or removing a sand-
paper.
4. Always stand with a firm grip and base and
pay attention to the torque reaction the sander
develops.
5. Always make sure that the material being
sanded is firmly held to prevent it from moving.
6. Before installing any abrasive accessory, al-
ways check the maximum speed required print-
ed on the accessory equal to or greater than
that indicated on the product.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risks associated with pneumatic
pressure and other mechanical hazards:
• Keep hands, hair and clothing away from the
working end of the tool.
• Never operate this tool without all the pro-
tections or safety features with respect to order
and perfect working condition.
• Be aware that improperly installed hoses and
accessories may loosen unexpectedly and at any
time, creating an impact / whiplash hazard.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: the sandpaper must be properly

per will cause uneven sanding or damage to the
sandpaper itself.
PRIOR THE OPERATION
The tool is intended to be operated as a hand
held tool. It is always recommended that while
using the tool, operators stand on a solid floor,
in a secure position with a firm grip and footing.
Use a clean lubricated air supply that will give
a measured air pressure at the tool of 90 PSI
when the tool is running with the lever fully de-
pressed. Do not connect the tool to the airline
system without an easily accessible air shut off
valve. It is strongly recommended that an air
filter, regulator and lubricator (FRL) be used as
this will supply clean, lubricated air at the cor-
rect pressure to the tool. In any case appropriate
air pressure regulators shall be used at all times
while operating this tool where the supply pres-
sure exceeds the marked maximum of the tool.
