INTENDED USE
This tool is intended to be used with abrasive sanding discs for the finish sanding of materials such as wood, metal, fiberglass and simi-
lar materials. If it is used for anything else, it is considered misuse, creates a hazard and may void the warranty.
AIR SUPPLY
The efficiency and life of this tool depend on the proper supply of clean, dry air at a maximum of 90 PSI. The use of an airline filter, pres-
sure regulator, and lubricator is recommended. Before connecting to tools, blow out the airline to remove water and dirt that may have
accumulated.
HOSE AND HOSE CONNECTIONS
The air supply hose recommended is 3/8" (10mm) I.D. If an extension hose is necessary, use 1/2" (13mm) ID hose with couplings not
less than 3/8" (10mm) I.D. The tool inlet thread is 1/4" NPT.
LUBRICATION
For maximum performance and tool life, an airline lubricator, set to deliver 1 drop per minute. SIOUX No. 288 Air Motor Oil is recom-
mended. If an airline lubricator is not used, add 8 to 10 drops of air motor oil to the air inlet at the start of the day and run the tool for
10-20 seconds.
Do not over lubricate because excess oil may contaminate the surface being sanded.
MAINTENANCE
Water, dust and other airline contaminants can cause rust and vane sticking. After long idle periods, flush the tool with a few drops of oil
and run for 10 seconds. This will help remove contaminants and reduce the formation of rust.
OPERATION
Speed of the tool may be adjusted by turning the regulator located near the air inlet.
