IMPORTANT NOTE: The noise and vibration values stated in the table are from laboratory testing in conformity with stated codes and
standards and are not sufficient risk evaluation for all exposure scenarios. The actual exposure values and amount of risk or harm
experienced to an individual is unique to each situation and depends upon the surrounding environment, the way in which the individual
works, the particular material being worked, work station design, as well as upon the exposure time and the physical condition of the
user. 3M cannot be held responsible for the consequences of using declared values instead of actual exposure values for any individual
risk assessment.
Operating / Maintenance Instructions
PRIOR TO THE OPERATION
The tool is intended to be operated as a hand held tool. It is always recommended that while using the tool, operators stand on a
solid floor, in a secure position with a firm grip and footing. Be aware that the sander can develop a torque reaction. See the section
“SAFETY PRECAUTIONS”.
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 depressed. It is recom¬mended to use an approved 10 mm (3/8 in) x 8 m (25 ft) maximum length airline. Connect the tool
to the air supply as shown in Figure 1. Do not connect the tool to the airline system without an easily accessible air shut off valve. It is
strongly recommended that an air filter, regulator and lubricator (FRL) be used as shown in Figure 1as this will supply clean, lubricated
air at the correct pressure to the tool. In any case appropriate air pressure regulators shall be used at all times while operating this tool
where the supply pressure exceeds the marked maximum of the tool. Details of such equipment can be obtained for your tool distribu-
tor. If such equipment is not used, the tool should be manually lubricated. To manually lubricate the tool, disconnect the airline and put
2 to 3 drops of suitable pneumatic motor lubricating oil such as 3MTM Air Tool Lubricant PN 20451, Fuji Kosan FK-20, Mobil ALMO 525
into the hose end (inlet) of the tool. Reconnect tool to the air supply and run 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 or lubricate it if the tool starts to slow or lose power. It is recommended that the
air pressure at the tool be 6.2 bar (90 psig) while the tool is running so the maximum RPM is not exceeded.The tool can be run at lower
pressures but should never be run higher than 6.2 bar (90 psig). If run at lower pressure the performance of the tool is reduced.
Note: All Vacuum machines use Ø 28 mm (1 in.) Vacuum Hose Fittings.

Safety Precautions
3M™ Disc Pad
3M Disc Pad are mated for use on the 3M Sander. Constructed
from premium, industrial-quality materials and featuring a riveted
fiberglass and steel hub with molded urethane, their durability and
precise construction are the ideal complement to the performance
of the 3M Sander. See Product Configuration/Specifications table
for the correct replacement pad for a particular model. The follow-
ing chart is a sample of products offered.

Removing and Mounting Disc
Pad to Random Orbital Sander
1. Disconnect air line from sander.
2. Remove old disc pad from sander by inserting the wrench, sup-
plied with the tool, between the rubber shroud and the disc pad.
Use the wrench to secure the sander spindle while turning the
disc pad counter clockwise.
3. After the old disc pad has been removed from the sander,
inspect the threaded hole in the spindle to ensure that the
threads are free of debris and undamaged.
4. Ensure that the phenolic washer is in place around the threaded
shaft of the new disc pad.
5. Secure the sander spindle with the wrench and tighten the new
disc pad securely to the tool.
See 3M ASD Accessory catalog 61-5002-8098-9 and 61-5002-
8097-1 for additional Accessories.

WARNING!
An inadequately tightened disc pad could cause the threaded
shaft to break causing damage to the tool and work piece and
possible injury to the operator or bystanders.
Mounting rubber tool hanger accessory onto sander
1. Disconnect air line from sander.
2. Remove the existing two (2) M8 threaded plug and spacer ring
assemblies (items 25 and 32) with T-20 Torx driver*.
3. Using the M8 threaded plug and spacer ring assemblies (items
25 and 32), secure the hanger onto the tool using a T-20 Torx
driver*.
*Note: If necessary a 2.5mm Allen wrench may be used in place
of a T-20 Torx driver.
Adding Optional Side-Handle
1. Disconnect air line from sander.
2. Remove the existing M8 threaded plug and spacer ring assem-
bly (items 25 and 32) from the desired side of the sander with a
T-20 Torx driver*.
3. Screw the M8 threaded side handle into the tool. Tighten
securely by hand.
4. If the Side-Handle is used with the tool hanger, the Side-Handle
will directly replaces the existing M8 threaded plug and spacer
ring assembly (items 25 and 32).
1. Read all instructions before using this tool. All operators
must be fully trained in its use and aware of these safety
rules.
2. The tool RPM should be checked on a regular basis to
ensure proper operating speed.
3. Make sure the tool is disconnected from the air supply.
Select a suit¬able abrasive and secure it to the disc pad.
Be careful to center the abrasive on the disc pad.
4. Always wear required safety equipment when using this
tool.
5. When sanding always start the tool on the workpiece.
This will prevent gouging due to excess speed of the
abrasive. Stop air flow to the tool as it is removed from
the workpiece.
6. Always remove the air supply to the sander before fitting,
adjusting or removing the abrasive or disc pad.
7. Always adopt a firm footing and grip and be aware of
torque reaction developed by the sander.
8. Use only 3M approved spare parts.
9. Always ensure the material being sanded is firmly fixed to
avoid movement.
10. Check hose and fittings regularly for wear. Do not carry
the tool by its hose; always be careful to prevent the tool
from being started when carrying the tool with the air
supply connected.
11. Dust can be highly combustible.
12. If tool is serviced or rebuilt check to ensure that the
maximum tool RPM is not exceeded and that there is no
excessive tool vibration.
13. Do not exceed maximum recommended air pressure.
Use safety equip¬ment as recommended.
14. Prior to installing any sanding or polishing accessory,
always check that its marked maximum operating speed
is equal or higher than the rated speed of this tool.
15. The tool is not electrically insulated. Do not use where
there is a pos¬sibility of contact with live electricity, gas
pipes, and/or water pipes.
16. This tool is not protected against hazards inherent in
grinding and cut¬ting operations, and no such acces-
sories should ever be attached.
17. Take care to avoid entanglement with the moving parts
of the tool with clothing, ties, hair, cleaning rags or loose
hanging objects. If entangled, stop air supply immediately
to avoid contact with moving tool parts.
18. Keep hands clear of the spinning pad during use.
19. If the tool appears to malfunction, remove from use im-
mediately and arrange for service and repair.
20. Do not allow the tool to free spin without taking precau-
tions to protect any persons or objects from the loss of
the abrasive or pad ruptures.
21. Immediately release the start handle in the event of any disrup-
tion of pressure; do not attempt to re-start until the disruption
has been corrected.
22. When tool is not in use, store in a clean, dry environment free
of debris.
23. Recycle or dispose of tool according to Local, State, and
Federal regulations.
