WARNING: DO NOT use a sanding sheet on wood that has previously been
used on metal. This may cause scouring on the wooden surface. DO NOT
use this sander for sanding magnesium.
Note: Before every use drip 3 droplets of Air Tool Oil into the Air Inlet (6) to
increase tool longevity.
Fitting the quick connector
Note: This tool is supplied with two different male air line quick connectors:
EQ-4
commonly used
in Europe
• Please choose the connector that is compatible with the air line system
you are using, and install as outlined below:
1. Apply some PTFE tape (not included) to the screw threads of the Quick
Connector (7). This will help to maintain an air-tight seal
Note: Apply PTFE tape tightly, and in a clockwise direction, so it does not
come off when the thread is screwed into the tool.
2. Remove the protective plug from the Air Inlet (6)
3. Using a spanner (not included) screw the Quick Connector into the Air
Inlet located at the base of the handle
4. Connect to air line, pressurise carefully, and carry out a leak check
(e.g. by spraying small amounts of soapy water on to the outside of the
connectors)
• Air lines fitted with matching female quick connectors will now be a
push fit to the tool

Selecting the right grade of sanding disc
• Sanding discs are available in a variety of different grades: coarse

the work, and fine grit to finish off

• Always use good quality sanding discs to maximise the quality of the
finished task
• It is advisable to carry out a trial run on a scrap piece of material to
determine the optimum grit grade for a particular job. If there are
still marks on the workpiece after sanding, try either going back to
a coarser grade and sanding the marks out before recommencing with
the original choice of grit, or try using a new sanding disc to eliminate
the unwanted marks before moving on to a finer grit and finishing the
job
Attaching a hook & loop sanding disc
• With the sander disconnected from the air supply, firmly press the hook
& loop sanding disc on to the Hook & Loop Backing Pad (9)
