Risks of vibrations
Exposure to vibration may cause permanent damage to the nerves and blood supply to the hands and arms. You should stay
away from the screw driver sockets. You should wear warm clothing when working at low temperatures and you should keep your
hands warm and dry. If you experience numbness, tingling, pain or skin whitening in the fi ngers and hands, you should discontinue
the use of pneumatic tool, and then inform your employer and seek medical advice. Operation and maintenance pneumatic tool
according to the recommendations of the manual, will allow to avoid the unnecessary increase of vibration. Hold the tool, with
light but a fi rm grip, taking into account the required reaction forces, because the risk from vibration is ususally much larger, when
the grip force is higher.
Additional safety instructions for pneumatic tools
Air under pressure can cause serious injury:
- always shut off the air supply, drain hose of air pressure and detach tool from air supply, when it is not in use, before changing
accessories or performing repairs;
- never direct the air stream at yourself or anyone else.
Hose hitting can cause serious injury. You should always check for damaged or loose hoses and fi ttings. Cold air should be di-
rected away from the hands Every time when there are used universal screwed connection (claw couplings), you should apply the
protecting pins and connectors against the possibility of damage to the connections between the hoses and between the hose and
tool. Do not exceed the maximum air pressure specifi ed for the tool. Never carry the tool, by holding it by the hose.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
Make sure that the compressed air source generates the correct working pressure and provides the required airfl ow. If the supply
air pressure is too high, a pressure reducer with a safety valve must be used. The pneumatic tool must be fed through the fi lter and
lubricator system. This will ensure that the air is both clean and moistened with oil. Check the condition of the fi lter and lubricator
before each use and clean the fi lter if necessary or make up for oil shortage in the lubricator. This will ensure the correct operation
of the tool and extend its service life.
When working, wear protective glasses. It is also recommended to wear protective gloves and clothing.
Some materials may produce poisonous or combustible dusts and vapours during machining. Work in well-ventilated areas and
use personal protective equipment.
USING THE TOOL
Before each use of the tool, make sure that no parts of the pneumatic system are damaged. If you notice damage, immediately
replace the components with new, undamaged ones.
Dry the condensed moisture inside the tool, compressor and hose before each use of the pneumatic system.
Attaching the sanding sheet
Warning! Before attaching or replacing a sheet, make sure that the tool is disconnected from the power supply. The compressed
air supply system connector must be disconnected from the tool.
Prepare the sheet with the dimensions specifi ed in the technical data table. Open both sanding sheet holders by lifting both holder
levers. Place the sanding sheet under one of the clamps and lower the clamp lever so that the teeth of the holder press down on
the sanding sheet over its entire width (IV). Wrap the sheet around the foot and attach the other end of the sheet with the second
clamp (IV) according to the same method. The abrasive part must be on the outside. Make sure that the sheet is not skewed
against the foot. No part of the foot must stick out from under the sanding sheet; otherwise, it can lead to premature wear and tear
of the foot or even its damage. Lift the sander and check that the sheet adheres to the entire foot length. A loose sanding sheet
can be bent during operation, which can damage the work surface and lead to the sandpaper sheet breaking. If you notice any
irregularities in the sanding sheet attachment, open the holders and repeat the attachment process.
Connecting the tool to the pneumatic system
The fi gure shows the recommended manner of connecting the tool to the pneumatic system. This will ensure the most effi cient
use of the tool and also prolong the tool's service life.
Apply a few drops of SAE 10 viscous oil into the air inlet.
Screw a suitable nozzle to the air inlet thread fi rmly and securely to connect the air supply hose. (II)
Secure a suitable nozzle to the tool driver. Only use accessories which are suitable for use with impact tools when working
with pneumatic tools.
Wherever possible, adjust the pressure (torque).
Connect the tool to the pneumatic system using a hose with an internal diameter of 3/8" (10 mm). Make sure the hose has a
durability of at least 1.38 MPa. (III)
Start the tool for a few seconds, making sure that there are no strange sounds or vibrations.
