HOW TO USE:

1. Connect Air Supply: Ensure your air compressor can deliver the required CFM and PSI for optimal performance. Connect the sander to your air line using the 1/4″ NPT air connection.
2. Attach Sanding Disc: Select the appropriate grit hook-and-loop sanding disc for your application (e.g., coarser grits for material removal, finer grits for finishing). Align the disc with the 6-inch hook pad and firmly press it to secure.
3. Prepare Work Surface: Ensure the surface you are sanding is clean and free of large debris. If applicable, mask off areas not intended for sanding.
4. Begin Sanding: Hold the sander firmly and comfortably. Press the trigger to activate the random orbital motion. Place the sander flat on the work surface, applying even, gentle pressure.
5. Maintain Consistent Movement: Move the sander in overlapping passes, either in a circular or crosshatch pattern, to ensure uniform material removal and avoid creating swirl marks. Do not apply excessive pressure, as this can hinder the random orbital action and reduce efficiency.
6. Monitor Progress: Periodically lift the sander to inspect the surface and check your progress. Adjust your sanding technique or grit as needed.
7. Clean Up: Once sanding is complete, disconnect the air supply and remove the sanding disc. Clean any dust or debris from the sander and the work area.
