HOW TO USE:

• Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface to be sanded is clean and free of loose debris.
• Attach Abrasive: Peel the backing from an 8″ x 18″ PSA abrasive sheet and carefully adhere it to the sander’s pad, ensuring it is smooth and wrinkle-free.
• Connect Air Supply: Connect the sander to an air compressor with a regulated air pressure of 90 PSI.
• Grip Firmly: Hold the sander with both hands, maintaining a firm but comfortable grip.
• Start Sanding: Turn on the air supply to the sander. Gently place the pad flat against the work surface before initiating movement.
• Maintain Even Pressure: Move the sander in overlapping passes, applying even, consistent pressure across the entire pad. Avoid tilting the sander or pressing down excessively, as this can create uneven spots.
• Monitor Progress: Periodically lift the sander to inspect the surface and ensure desired material removal or finish is being achieved.
• Clean Up: After sanding, disconnect the air supply and carefully remove the used abrasive. Clean the sander and the work area of dust and debris.
