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 (not supplied) 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
