HOW TO USE:

1. Attach Abrasive Disc: Select the appropriate 5-inch or 6-inch hook and loop abrasive disc for your sanding task and firmly attach it to the 6-inch hook pad of the sander.
2. Connect Air Supply: Connect the sander to a clean, regulated air supply capable of delivering the recommended CFM and PSI. Ensure the air hose is free of kinks and obstructions.
3. Prepare Workpiece: Ensure your workpiece is clean, dry, and securely clamped to prevent movement during sanding.
4. Start Sander: Hold the sander firmly with both hands, if applicable, or with one hand if it’s a palm-style sander. Engage the ergonomic trigger to start the sander.
5. Begin Sanding: Gently place the spinning pad flat against the surface of the workpiece. Move the sander in overlapping passes, maintaining consistent pressure across the surface. Avoid pressing down too hard, as this can reduce efficiency and leave swirl marks.
6. Monitor Progress: Continuously observe the surface as you sand to achieve the desired material removal and finish quality. Adjust your technique as needed.
7. Change Discs: When the abrasive disc becomes worn or clogged, or if a different grit is required, turn off the sander, detach the old disc, and attach a new one.
8. Complete Task: Once sanding is complete, turn off the sander and disconnect the air supply. Clean any dust from the sander and store it properly.
