Proper use of tool
This sander is designed for sanding all types of materials i .e . metals, wood, stone, plastics, etc . using abrasive designed
for this purpose . Do not use this sander for any other purpose than specified, without consulting your Mirka dealer .
Only use Mirka backing pads 125 mm (5") or 150 mm (6") that are designed for optimal performance with the brake
seal . Never mount a backing pad without a spacing washer . Other backing pads may reduce performance and will
increase vibrations .
Work stations
The tool is intended to be operated as a hand-held tool . It is always recommended that the tool should be used when
standing on a solid floor . It can be used in any position but before any such use, the operator must be in a secure
position, have a firm grip and footing and be aware that the sander can develop a torque reaction . See the section
"Operating instructions" .
Operating instructions
When unpacking the tool, make sure it is intact, complete and has not been damaged in transport . Never use a
damaged tool .
To attach air supply, lift up the cover and connect air supply, close the cover before operating the tool . Use a clean
lubricated air supply that will give a measured air pressure at the tool of 6 .2 bar (90 psig) when the tool is running with
the lever fully pressed . It is recommended to use an approved 10 mm (3/8") x 8 m (25 ft) maximum length air hose . The
tool should be connected to the air supply as shown in Figure 1 .
Do not connect the tool to the compressed air system without incorporating an easy to reach and operate air shut-
off valve . It is strongly recommended that an air filter, regulator and lubricator (FRL) are used as shown in Figure 1 as
this will supply clean, lubricated air at the correct pressure to the tool . Details of such equipment can be obtained from
your supplier . If such equipment is not used the tool should be manually lubricated .
To manually lubricate the tool, disconnect the air hose and put 2 to 3 drops of supplied oil or Wurth art . no .
08930505 into the air connection on the tool . Reconnect the tool to the air supply and run the tool slowly for a few
seconds to allow air to circulate the oil . If the tool is used frequently, lubricate it on a daily basis .
Lubricate the tool before longer storage or if the tool slows down or loses power .
It is recommended that the air pressure at the tool is 6 .2 bar (90 psig) while the tool is running . The tool can run at
lower pressures but never higher than 6 .2 bar (90 psig) .
