12. Tool shaft may continue to rotate briefly after the throttle is released.
Avoid direct contact with accessories during and after use. Gloves

DISPOSAL
At the end of the useful life of the OEMTOOLS Mini Air Surface Prep
Sander, dispose of the components according to all state, federal, and
local regulations.
PURPOSE
The OEMTOOLS Heavy Duty Mini Air Surface Prep Sander Kit is ideal for
removal of gasket material rust, surface deposits, and welds also works
great for cleaning and polishing engine components and detail sanding.
PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
Free Speed: 15,000 RPM
Air Consumption: 2.1 CFM
Weight: 1.15 Lbs.
Inlet (NPT): 1/4"
Recommended
Air Pressure: 90 PSI
WARNING
Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90 PSI while operating
the Mini Air Surface Prep Sander. Excessive wear will result if air pressure
is too high and/or you use unclean air. This can shorten the product life
and may be dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions before use.
1. Always inspect, maintain and operate in accordance with ANSI
safety code for portable air tools (ANSI B186.1) and other local
safety codes and regulations.
2. Do not operate this tool over 90 PSI air pressure.
3. Always disconnect this tool from the air supply before installing,
adjusting or removing any accessory in this tool or before
performing maintenance.
4. Do not carry any air tool by the hose. Keep air hose away from heat
and sharp objects.
5. Continuous use of vibrating air tools by susceptible users may cause
damage to hands.
6. Always lubricate and maintain the tool in safe operating conditions.
7. Only use accessories which are specifically designed for use with a
Mini Air Surface Prep Sander.
8. Correct surface prep disc mounting is necessary to prevent injury.
9. DO NOT use chipped, cracked or damaged surface prep discs.
DO NOT allow the Mini Air Surface Prep Sander to free run for an
extended period of time as this will reduce bearing life.
AIR SUPPLY
Ensure the Mini Air Surface Prep Sander air valve (or trigger) is in the
“off” position before connecting to the air supply. Always use clean dry air
as excessive moisture will lower the available torque and rust the interior
moving parts. Make sure all hoses and fittings are of the recommended
size and be sure the units are not used with less than or more than the
recommended pressure of the tool (90 PSI).
LUBRICATION
Proper lubrication of this air tool is critical to the operation and life of the
unit. Units can be severely damaged or have excessive wear placed on
working parts if not lubricated. We recommend the use of air tool oil or
3-in-1 machine oil which is available at most auto parts locations. The
tool should be lubricated each time it is used. During daily prolonged use,
lube heavily 3 or 4 times during the day.
WARNING
Any excess oil in the motor is immediately expelled from the exhaust port.
Always direct exhaust port away from people or objects.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Disconnect the Mini Air Surface Prep Sander from air supply before
changing accessories, servicing or performing maintenance.
1. Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only.
Unauthorized parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the
warranty.
2. If the air system does not have an oiler then lubricate the Mini Air
Surface Prep Sander daily with a few drops of air tool oil into the air
inlet.
3. Blow out air line to clear it of accumulated dirt and moisture.
4. Connect tool and operate tool to allow oil to be carried to the interior
of the tool.
5. Clean the Mini Air Surface Prep Sander after use.
6. DO NOT use worn or damaged accessories.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Other factors outside the tool may cause loss of power or erratic action.
Reduced compressor output, excessive drain on the air line, moisture or
restrictions in air pipes or the use of hose connections of improper size or
poor conditions, may reduce air supply. If outside conditions are in order,
and the tool still performs erratically, disconnect the tool and remove from
service.
