Air Motor Lubrication
To maintain the maximum performance of the air tool, it must be lubricated
each time it is used. Dust, dirt, rust and oil residue will build up inside the tool
and reduce the performance. An in-line oiler is recommended for proper
automatic tool lubrication (see Figure 1). If an in-line oiler is not available, the
tool can be lubricated manually through the inlet port (see Figure 4).
1. Disconnect the air tool from the air supply.
2. Turn the tool upside down and while depressing the trigger, add 4-6 drops
of Coleman Powermate® air tool oil #018-0059SP or SAE10 nondetergent
oil into the air inlet. NOTE: Depressing the trigger helps circulate the oil in the air motor.
3. Reconnect the tool to the air supply and run for approximately 30 seconds to remove excess oil.
NOTE: If the tool remains sluggish after it has been lubricated, the internal components may need to
be cleaned.
To Clean:
Disconnect the air tool from the air supply and pour or spray a generous amount of WD-40® into the air inlet
with the trigger depressed. Connect the tool to the air supply and run in for approximately 30 seconds. Follow the
air motor lubrication instructions above after cleaning is completed to re-lubricate the tool.
After oiling or cleaning, operate the tool for a few seconds to safely remove the excess
oil. Clean the handle and surface of the tool of any oil residue. Note: Keep the towel
away from moving parts!

9. When finishing sanding, lift sander off the work before releasing the trigger.
NOTE: Proper sanding requires starting with sandpaper just course enough to remove the high spots and
surface roughness and changing to successively finer sandpaper until the desired surface finish is
achieved. Never change directly from a course grit to a very fine grit.
