4.1.2. Youwillrequireanairpressurebetween70-90psi,andanairowaccordingtothespecicationabove.
WARNING!Ensuretheairsupplyiscleananddoesnotexceed90psiwhileoperatingthesander.Toohighanairpressureand/or
 uncleanairwillshortentheproductlifeduetoexcessivewear,andmaybedangerous,causingdamageand/orpersonalinjury.
4.1.3. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the sander and will invalidate your warranty.
4.1.4. Cleanairinletlterweekly.Recommendedhook-upprocedureisshowning.2.
4.1.5. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). The minimum hose diameter should
 be1/4”I.D.andttingsmusthavethesameinsidedimensions.
4.1.6. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear and make certain that all connections are secure.
4.2. COUPLINGS
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the air sander. To overcome this, connect a leader
hose to the sander. A quick change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose.
 Seegs.2&3.
1.2. LEAD PAINT WARNING!
Paint once contained lead as a traditional ingredient. Contact with the dust from the removal of such paint is toxic and must
therefore be avoided. The following action must be taken before using the grinder on a surface that you suspect may contain
lead paint.
1. User must determine potential hazard relating to age of paint to be removed (modern paints do not have lead content).
2. DANGER! Keep all people and pets away from the working area. The following are particularly vulnerable to the effects of lead
paint dust: Pregnant women, babies and children.
3. We recommend personal protection by using the following safety items:
a) Paint Spray Respirator (Our ref SSP1605)
b) PE Coated Hooded Coverall (Our ref SSP267).
c) Latex Gloves (Our ref SSP55L).
4. Takeadequatemeasurestocontainthepaintdust,flakesandscrapings.
5. Continue to wear safety equipment as in (3) above and thoroughly clean all areas when work is complete. Ensure that paint
waste is disposed of in sealed bags or containers according to local regulations.

WARNING! – Risk of Hand Arm Vibration Injury.
This tool may cause Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome if its use is not managed adequately.
ThistoolissubjecttothevibrationtestingsectionoftheMachineryDirective2006/42/EC.
This tool is to be operated in accordance with these instructions.
Measured vibration emission value (a): .........0.236 m/s²
Uncertainty value (k):.........................0.518 m/s²
Please note that the application of the tool to a sole specialist task may produce a different average vibration emission. We recommend that a
specific evaluation of the vibration emission is conducted prior to commencing with a specialist task.
A health and safety assessment by the user (or employer) will need to be carried out to determine the suitable duration of use for each tool.
NB: StatedVibrationEmissionvaluesaretype-testvaluesandareintendedtobetypical.
Whilst in use, the actual value will vary considerably from and depend on many factors.
Such factors include; the operator, the task and the inserted tool or consumable.
NB: ensure that the length of leader hoses is sufficient to allow unrestricted use, as this also helps to reduce vibration.
The state of maintenance of the tool itself is also an important factor, a poorly maintained tool will also increase the risk of Hand Arm Vibration
Syndrome.
Health surveillance.
Werecommendaprogrammeofhealthsurveillancetodetectearlysymptomsofvibrationinjurysothatmanagementprocedurescanbemodified
accordingly.
Personal protective equipment.
Wearenotawareofanypersonalprotectiveequipment(PPE)thatprovidesprotectionagainstvibrationinjurythatmayresultfromthe
uncontrolled use of this tool. We recommend a sufficient supply of clothing (including gloves) to enable the operator to remain warm and dry and
maintain good blood circulation in fingers etc. Please note that the most effective protection is prevention, please refer to the Correct Use and
Maintenance section in these instructions. Guidance relating to the management of hand arm vibration can be found on the HSC website
