13. Be aware of the rotation direction before starting the tool to reduce
hazardous situations due to unexpected rotation direction.
14. Never run the tool unless the abrasive pad is applied to the workpiece.
AIR TOOL PRECAUTIONS
1. Use only clean and dry compressed air as a power source.
Contaminated or moist air will gradually damage the tool.
2. Install an in-line shutoff valve or regulator to allow immediate
control over the air supply in an emergency, even if a hose is
ruptured.
3. Discontinue tool use if it does not work properly or air is leaking.
Tag or mark the tool as ‘defective’ or ‘out of service’ until repaired.
4. Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air tools

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
INSTALL AIR COUPLER PLUG
Prepare a standard 1/4 in. NPT coupler plug (sold separately) for use
with your tool.
1. Wrap the external threads of the coupler plug with sealant tape.
1.1 Wrap tape in a clockwise direction so it will not unravel.
1.2 Do not tape all the threads. Leave several leading threads
unwrapped for easier alignment.
2. Screw the coupler plug into the tool's air inlet and tighten with a
wrench until snug.
3. Run the compressor at a low volume and check the connection for
air leaks. Do not use the tool until all air leaks are repaired or the
faulty component is replaced.
IMPORTANT! Vibration may cause failure if a quick coupler is
connected directly to the air tool. To overcome this, connect a
leader hose to the tool. A quick coupler may then be used to
connect the leader hose to the air line hose.
DUST COLLECTION HOSE AND BAG
A dust collection system is included with the palm sander.
1. Push the dust hose (#58) onto the air injection tube’s (#52) barbs
until flush against the dust collection tube (#49).
2. Fit the dust bag (#57) over the other end of the dust hose and tie it
into place. Make sure the strings are tight to prevent dust from
leaking out.
3. Remove the dust bag, empty it and store with the palm sander.

INSTALL THE PAD
1. Lift the safety buckle (#39) up and out of the way.
2. Press the disc release button (#4) in and pull the 6 in. disc pad
(#56) from the palm sander.
3. Turn the palm sander upside-down.
4. Place the plastic washer (#36) onto the shallow opening in the dust
protection cover (#53).
5. Insert another 6 in. disc pad into the spindle (#19) opening.
6. Release the disc release button to secure the disc pad.
BALANCE THE DISC PAD
A disc pad may vibrate too much for comfort during operation. A
balancer (#20) can be screwed into the spindle to smooth the vibration.
1. Push the button (#4) to free the disc pad (#56). Set it aside.
2. Add or remove the balancer from the spindle (#19).
2.1 Remove the balancer from the spindle when using disc pads
lighter than 0.28 lb (128 g) for best efficiency.
2.2 Add one or both balancers to the spindle for disc pads heavier
than 0.28 lb (128 g).
3. Reinsert the disc pad.
OPERATION
Selecting the correct size and type of abrasive grit is extremely
important in achieving a high-quality sanded finish. Aluminum oxide,
silicon carbide and other synthetic abrasive are best for power sanding.
To produce the best finish possible, start with a coarse grit sanding
paper and gradually change to finer and finer grit sandpapers. A final
sanding with a well-worn fine sandpaper will produce a professional
looking finish that in many cases will not need hand sanding.
1. Disconnect the tool from the air source.
2. Clean the backing pad free of dirt, dust and foreign matter prior to
attaching the sanding disc.
3. Align the sanding disc onto the backing pad and press to attach.
4. Rest the disc pad on the workpiece, then squeeze the sander’s
trigger. Speed is controlled by the trigger.

8844193 6 in. Random Orbital Air Palm Sander V1.0
10 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685
5. Pass the sander back and forth in wide, overlapping areas, taking care
to keep the sander moving around at all times. Let the tool do the work.
The weight of the machine is normally sufficient for efficient sanding.
6. Remove the sander from the workpiece before stopping the tool.
7. Remove and empty the dust bag when partially filled. Do not wait
until the bag is full as a full bag will impede the exhaust’s airflow.
Empty and store the bag and hose after completing the task.
8. When finished with the tool, turn off the air compressor, disconnect
the air hose and discharge any residual air remaining in the tool.
Put the tool away in a safe storage area.
PRESSURE DROP
Apply the air consumption and pressure rate numbers to the tool’s air
inlet, not the compressor’s outlet. Calculate the pressure drop for your
air supply set-up and increase the compressor outlet pressure to
compensate. Make sure you do not exceed the maximum pressure for
any part of your air supply system.
Installing a pressure gauge at the tool inlet is the best way to measure
the air pressure and adjust the compressor’s output.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
1. Maintain the tool with care. A tool in good condition is efficient,
easier to control and will have fewer problems.
2. Inspect the tool fittings, alignment and hoses periodically. Have
damaged or worn components repaired or replaced by an authorized
technician. Only use identical replacement parts when servicing.
3. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
4. Only use accessories intended for use with this tool.
5. Keep the tool clean, dry and free from oil/grease at all times.
6. Maintain the tool’s labels and name plates. These carry important
information. If unreadable or missing, contact Princess Auto Ltd. for
replacements.
WARNING! Only qualified service personnel should repair the
tool. An improperly repaired tool may present a hazard to the
user and/or others.

AIR TOOL LUBRICATION
NOTICE! Only use air tool oil to lubricate the tool. Other
lubricants are not suitable and will damage the tool or cause a
malfunction during use.
NOTICE! Never use a penetrating oil to lubricate an air tool.
Penetrating oil acts as a solvent that will dissolve the tool’s
grease packing and may damage the o-rings, causing the tool to
seize or malfunction.
1. All air tools have an internal coating of grease to prevent corrosion
during shipping and storage. Remove this grease by adding a
generous amount of air tool oil in the air inlet and then run the tool
under no load until the exhaust is clear.
2. Manually add a drop or two of air tool oil into the tool’s coupler plug
before each use and after every hour of continuous use. The tool will
not work properly without lubrication and parts will wear prematurely.
3. Avoid adding too much air tool oil as this can cause premature
power loss and eventual tool failure. A qualified technician will need
to take the tool apart and clean out the excess oil.
4. Apply a generous amount of air tool oil to the tool before storing it
for an extended period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.). Run the
tool for approximately 30 seconds to ensure the oil is evenly
distributed throughout the tool. Store it in a clean and dry location.
DISPOSAL
Recycle a tool damaged beyond repair at the appropriate facility.

6. Ne dirigez jamais le jet d’air ou les outils vers votre corps, d’autres
individus ou des animaux. Les débris et la poussière projetés à
grande vitesse peuvent causer des blessures.
7. Des blessures graves ou même la mort peuvent survenir en cas
d’inhalation de l’air comprimé. Le jet d’air peut contenir du
monoxyde de carbone, des vapeurs toxiques ou des particules
solides. N’inhalez jamais l’air comprimé provenant directement de
la pompe ou d’un outil pneumatique.
CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ SPÉCIFIQUES
AVERTISSEMENT ! Ne permettez PAS au confort ou à votre
familiarisation avec l'outil (obtenus après un emploi répété) de
se substituer à une adhésion stricte aux règles de sécurité de
l'outil. Si vous utilisez cet outil de façon dangereuse ou
incorrecte, vous pouvez subir des blessures corporelles graves.
1. Utilisez le bon outil pour la tâche à effectuer. Cet outil a été conçu
pour une utilisation spécifique. Évitez de modifier ou d'altérer cet outil
ou de l'utiliser à une fin autre que celle pour laquelle il a été conçu.
2. N’utilisez pas l’outil si des pièces présentent des dommages ou
sont déplacées. Réparez ou remplacez les pièces.
3. N’utilisez pas d’outil électrique muni d’un interrupteur d’alimentation
ou d’une commande qui fait défaut. Un outil électrique qui ne réagit
pas aux commandes est dangereux et pourrait provoquer des
blessures graves. Un technicien qualifié doit réparer l’outil
électrique et vérifier s’il fonctionne correctement avant que vous ne
puissiez l’utiliser.
4. N’utilisez jamais un outil avec un accessoire usé ou qui présente
des craquelures. Remplacez l’accessoire de l’outil avant de
l’utiliser.
5. Ne recouvrez pas les orifices d'aération. Un refroidissement
approprié est requis pour éviter d’endommager le moteur de l’outil.
6. Utilisez uniquement des accessoires qui ont été spécifiquement
conçus en fonction de l’outil. Assurez-vous aussi que l’accessoire
est solidement installé.
7. Utilisez uniquement un accessoire qui excède la vitesse nominale

8. Débranchez l'appareil de la source d'énergie avant de procéder à
son installation ou à son entretien.
9. Avant d’utiliser l’outil sur une pièce, assurez-vous d’effectuer une
vérification de fonctionnement de l’outil au régime à vide le plus
élevé pendant au moins 30 secondes dans une position sans
danger. Arrêtez immédiatement en présence d'une vibration
anormale ou d'une oscillation. Examinez bien l’outil pour déterminer
la cause du problème.
10. Ne forcez jamais l’outil. Une pression excessive pourrait briser
l’outil, entraînant ainsi des dommages au niveau de la pièce à
travailler ou causant des blessures corporelles graves. Si votre outil
fonctionne correctement lorsqu’il n’y a aucune charge, mais qu’il
présente un fonctionnement difficile sous charge, cela signifie
qu’une pression excessive est exercée.
11. Gardez vos mains et vos doigts éloignés de l’aire de travail. Le
contact de toute partie du corps avec l’outil peut causer des
blessures.
12. Ne déposez pas l’outil jusqu’à ce que l’accessoire ait
complètement cessé de tourner. L’accessoire peut toucher la
surface de la pièce et se libérer, entraînant ainsi des blessures
pour l’utilisateur et les gens qui se trouvent dans l’aire de travail.
13. Avant de démarrer la ponceuse et pour réduire les risques de la
manipuler de façon dangereuse, vérifiez le sens de rotation du
tampon porte-disque.
14. Ne démarrez la ponceuse que lorsque le tampon abrasif repose
contre la pièce à travailler.
PRÉCAUTIONS RELATIVES AUX OUTILS
PNEUMATIQUES
1. Utilisez uniquement un air comprimé propre et sec comme source
d’énergie. L’air contaminé ou humide endommagera
progressivement l’outil.
