Before Use
WARNING: Always disconnect from the air supply and depressurise
before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance.
WARNING: Before fitting sanding sheets, ensure the sander is disconnected
from the power supply.
Note: DO NOT continue to use worn, torn, or heavily clogged sanding
sheets. Ensure foreign objects, such as nails and screws, are removed from
the workpiece before commencing sanding.
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 (9) 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 (10). 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 (9)
3. Using a spanner (not included) screw the Quick Connector into the Air
Inlet located at the base of the handle
4. Connect to the air line, pressurise carefully, and carry out a leak check
(eg 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
