Cleaning, Maintenance, and
Lubrication
Note: These procedures are in addition to
the regular checks and maintenance
explained as part of the regular op-
eration of the air-operated tool.
1. Daily - Air Supply Maintenance:
Every day, perform maintenance on
the air supply according to the com-
ponent manufacturers’ instructions.
The lubricator’s oil level needs to be
maintained and the moisture lter
must be regularly drained. Perform-
ing routine maintenance on the air
supply will allow the tool to operate
more safely and will also reduce wear
on the tool.
2. Daily - Oil Lubrication:
Drop some oil into the inlet of the tool
then run the tool slowly for a minute
before beginning work.
3. Weekly: Clean Silencer Filter (4).
Remove Silencer Cap (5), remove
the lter and wash in warm water.
Allow to dry completely prior to
replacement.
4. Any dirt or dust inside the motor may
result in slow rotation or complete
stoppage. Use an air lter at the air
source to lter out dust and dirt.
5. Periodically, remove the Backing Pad
(36), by sliding the supplied Wrench
(37) between the Backing Pad and
the exible Skirt (16-1). Engage the
nut on the shaft to lock it, and spin
the Backing Pad off.
6. Clean out the inner workings of the
sander inside the Housing (1) with a
vacuum or a brush.
7. Replace and secure the Backing Pad.
