OPERATING

1. To begin work, rest the disc pad on the workpiece and start the sander.

• Let the tool do the work. The actual weight of the machine is

normally sufficient for efficient sanding. Do not put additional

pressure on the machine, which would only slow down the speed of

the pad, reducing efficiency and placing an additional burden on

the motor.

2. Pass the sander back and forth in wide, overlapping areas, taking care to

keep the sander moving around at all times. Avoid dwelling in one place

for more than a moment.

3. Release the trigger to stop the tool.

4. Always ensure the tool has stopped before putting it down.

DISCONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY

1. Do not disconnect the air supply hose until the compressor has been shut

down and the compressed air released.

2. Refer to the compressor instruction manual for the procedure to shut down

and vent the compressed air.

3. Once the pressure has been released, disconnect the air supply hose from

the air tool.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE AIR TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE

AIR SUPPLY BEFORE STARTING ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE

PROCEDURES.

DAILY

1. Before use, drain water from the airline filter and compressor.

2. Pour a few drops of Clarke air-line oil, into the tool air inlet. This should be

carried out regardless of whether or not an in-line mini oiler is used. If an in-

line mini oiler is not used, this procedure should be repeated after every

two to three hours of use.
