MAINTENANCE
Before making any adjustments or changing any accessory, turn off the tool and unplug it from its
air source.
1. Although the sander does not require user maintenance, the sander should be kept clean.
Wipe the sander with a clean cloth and periodically blow out all areas with compressed air
or use a brush. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents to clean the sander. These chemicals
could seriously damage the plastic housing.
2. Avoid overloading the sander. Overloading will result in considerable reduction of speed and
efficiency and the unit will become hot. In this event, run the sander at a "no load" condition
for a minute or two.
3. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears to be damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended functions. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts, for broken parts or
mounting fixtures, or for any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that
is damaged should be repaired or replaced by a
qualified technician.
4. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Only use accessories intended for use
with this tool. Replace damaged parts immediately.
5. Keep the tool clean. Wipe the tool with a clean cloth and periodically blow out all areas with
compressed air. If compressed air is not available, use a brush to remove dust from all areas.
Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents to clean the tool. These chemicals could seriously
damage the plastic housing.
6. Regularly inspect all mountings and screws to ensure tightness. Should any screws become
loose, tighten immediately.
7. If repairs are required, bring your tool to an authorized service center.

LUBRICATION

1. All air tools are packed in grease to prevent corrosion of internal parts during shipping and
storage. We recommend you clean this out to have optimum performance from your new air
tool. Add a generous amount of air tool oil in the air inlet, and then run the tool under no load
until exhaust is clear to remove packing grease. For future maintenance, add only one or two
drops of oil daily.
2. It is very important that the tool be properly lubricated. Without proper lubrication, the tool
will not work properly and parts will wear prematurely. Manually dropping a drop or two of
air tool oil once a day into the tool's male connector is better than using an automatic in-line
lubricator, which should only be required when there are multiple users of the same tool.
3. Keep the in-line lubricator filled and correctly adjusted. It should be regularly checked and
filled with air tool oil. Proper adjustment of the in-line lubricator is performed by placing
a sheet of paper next to the exhaust ports and holding the throttle open approximately
30 seconds. The lubricator is properly set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper.
Excessive amounts of oil should be avoided.
4. Air tool oil is the only recommended lubricant for use in all air tools. Do not try to use other
types of lubricants to oil your tools. Using the wrong lubricant will cause premature tool
failure and/or loss of power. Use only recommended lubricants, specially made for pneumatic
applications. Substitutes may harm the rubber compounds in the tool's O-rings and other
rubber parts.
5. Oiling your air tool regularly is important, but it is also important not to over oil your air tool.
Over oiling can cause premature tool failure. Your tool may not be ruined, but it will begin
to experience loss of power that will continually get worse until it no longer works, at which
point the tool will have to be taken apart and cleaned of excess oil.
