HOW TO USE:

• Attach Abrasive: Select the appropriate hook and loop sanding pad for your task. Align the pad with the hook pad on the sander and press firmly to secure it.
• Connect Air Supply: Connect an air hose from your compressor to the sander's air inlet. Ensure your air compressor can provide the specified air consumption (11.5 cfm @ 90 PSI) for optimal performance.
• Manage Dust: For self-generated vacuum, attach a compatible collection bag to the dust port. Alternatively, for enhanced dust control, connect a vacuum hose to the swivel port and to an external vacuum system.
• Prepare Workpiece: Ensure the surface to be sanded is clean and free of loose debris. Secure the workpiece if necessary to prevent movement during sanding.
• Begin Sanding: Hold the sander firmly with both hands. Place the pad flat on the workpiece and depress the trigger to activate the tool. Move the sander in smooth, overlapping passes across the surface, applying even, moderate pressure. Avoid tilting the sander to prevent uneven sanding.
• Monitor Progress: Regularly check the sanded surface to assess material removal and finish quality. Replace abrasive pads as they become worn to maintain effectiveness.
• Clean Up: Once sanding is complete, release the trigger and disconnect the air supply. Empty the dust collection bag or vacuum system. Clean the sander and store it in a dry place.
