HOW TO USE:

1. Prepare the Workpiece: Ensure the surface to be sanded is clean and free of loose debris. If working with body filler, ensure it has cured sufficiently according to manufacturer guidelines.
2. Attach Abrasive Paper: Select the appropriate grit hook-and-loop abrasive paper for your task. Align the paper with the hook pad and firmly press it onto the pad to ensure it adheres securely.
3. Connect Air Supply: Connect your air compressor hose to the sander’s air inlet. Ensure your air compressor is set to the recommended operating pressure of 90 PSI.
4. Connect Dust Collection (Optional): If using dust collection, attach your vacuum hose to the sander’s vacuum swivel port.
5. Begin Sanding: Hold the sander firmly with both hands. Place the pad flat against the surface. Depress the trigger to start the sander. Move the sander in a smooth, overlapping pattern across the surface, allowing the tool to do the work. Avoid applying excessive downward pressure, as this can lead to uneven results.
6. Monitor Progress: Regularly check the surface for flatness and desired material removal. Change abrasive paper as needed when it becomes clogged or worn to maintain cutting efficiency.
7. Clean Up: After use, disconnect the air supply and dust collection. Clean any remaining dust from the sander’s exterior with a cloth.
