DANGER! Check that the air tool is in sound condition and good working order; Take immediate action to repair or replace damaged parts.
DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the air tool, as this may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

• If a problem with the air tool is experienced or suspected stop using the air tool im- mediately and contact your distributor for repair.
• Regularly inspect and lubricate the air tool, ensuring that it is in good working order and condition.
• Always ensure that the work area is clean and tidy, free from unrelated materials, and has adequate lighting.
• Clean and stow the air tool correctly. Failure to follow the warnings in this manual, may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
• DO ensure that only compressed air is used to supply the air tool. The compressed air supply MUST be at a suitable regulated pressure. Pipework, regulators, hoses, isolation valves, and connection devices MUST be suitable for the intended application correctly installed and maintained in good condition by a competent person.
• Appropriate Personal protective equipment MUST be worn and MUST be designed to protect against all hazards created. Severe permanent injury can result from using inappropriate or insufficient protective equipment – Eyes, in particular, are at risk.
• Long hair MUST be tied back; loose clothing MUST NOT be worn. There is a severe risk of these being drawn in or trapped by the moving parts of the air tool.
• Open or damaged compressed air lines present a significant ‘whip’ hazard; isolate the problem hose from the air supply and repair / replace the hose immediately.
• This air tool is electrically conductive DO NOT allow it to come into contact with any source of electrical supply.
• After use wait for the air tool to STOP completely before putting it aside.
• When putting the air tool aside you MUST ensure that it placed in a stable position. To avoid inadvertent operation DO NOT place the air tool where it can be knocked or moved accidentally either directly or by the air connection hose.
• If the air tool is not required or the air supply is interrupted, disconnect the air tool from the air supply and place in secure storage to prevent unauthorised use.
• Ensure the air valve (or trigger) is in the “off” position before connecting to the air supply.
• Disconnect the air tool from the air supply before making adjustments, changing accessories, etc., and before servicing the air tool.
• Always keep your air tool clean and lubricated. Daily lubrication is essential to avoid internal corrosion and possible failure.
• Do not overload the air tool. Allow the air tool to operate at its optimum speed for maximum efficiency.
• Do not increase the air pressure above the manufacturers recommended level, as excessive pressure can cause the tool casing to split. This can also create excessive wear on moving parts and possible failure.
• Always ensure that the workpiece is firmly secured leaving both hands free to control the air tool.
• Always wear safety goggles or glasses during operation.
• Do not wear watches, rings bracelets, or loose clothing when using air tools.
• Use as lightweight a hose as possible from the tool to the wall or compressor coupling.
• In the interests of safety and possible damage to the air tool/operator, always ensure that the air tool has stopped before putting it down after use.

GUARANTEE

This SIP air tool is covered by 12-month parts and labour warranty covering failure due to manufacturers defects. This does not cover failure due to misuse or operating the air tool outside the scope of this manual – any claims deemed to be outside the scope of the warranty may be subject to charges Including, but not limited to parts, labour, and carriage costs.
This warranty does not cover consumable items such as oil, sanding belts, etc.
Failure to lubricate your air tool will shorten its working life and reduce performance. Also note, the warranty does not cover rusting air tools and tools that failed due to the lack of lubrication.
In the unlikely event of warranty claims, contact your distributor as soon as possible.
Note: Proof of purchase will be required before any warranty can be honoured.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

AIR SUPPLY

1. Ensure the throttle lever (9) is not depressed before connecting to the air supply.
2. You will require an air pressure of 90psi, and an airflow according to specification.
3. WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi while operating the air tool. Too high an air pressure and unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear and may be dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury.
4. Drain the compressor air tank daily. Water in the airline will damage the air tool.
5. Recommended hook-up procedure is shown below (Fig.1).
6. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over metres). The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
7. Keep the hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check the hose for wear, and make certain that all connections are air tight secure.

LUBRICATION

• An automatic in-line filter-regulator-lubricator is recommended (Fig.1) as it increases tool life and keeps the air tool in sustained operation. The in-line lubricator should be regularly checked and filled with air tool oil.
• Proper adjustment of the in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet of paper next to the exhaust ports and holding the throttle open approximately 30 seconds. The lubricator is properly set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil should be avoided.
• In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.), it should receive a generous amount of lubrication at that time. The tool should be run for approximately 30 seconds to ensure oil has been evenly distributed throughout the tool. The tool should be stored in a clean and dry environment.
• It is most important that the tool be properly lubricated by keeping the air line lubricator filled and correctly adjusted. Without proper lubrication, the tool will not work properly and parts will wear prematurely.
• Use the proper lubricant in the air line lubricator. The lubricator should be of low airflow or changing air flow type and should be kept filled to the correct level. Use only recommended lubricants, specially made for pneumatic applications. Substitutes may harm the rubber compounds in the tools O-rings and other rubber parts.

Caution: If a filter/regulator/lubricator is not installed on the air system, air-operated tools should be lubricated at least once a day or after 2 hours work with 2 to 6 drops of oil, depending on the work environment, directly through the male fitting in the tool housing.

FITTING THE SANDING BELT

• Lift the belt tensioning lever (6) and fit the belt over pulley (4) and drive pulley (8).
  Press the tension lever down. Note of the rotation direction arrow on the abrasive belt.

• Use the Adjusting screw (2) to alter the angle of the sander arm.

OPERATING THE SANDER

• Connect the belt sander to the air supply via the air inlet (10).
• Press the throttle lever (9) and the belt sander will operate.
• Release the throttle lever (9) and the sander will stop.

MAINTENANCE

Disconnect the air tool from the air supply before changing accessories, servicing, or performing maintenance.

• DO NOT use the air tool if it is, or has parts that are worn, damaged, or missing; remove from service.
• Ensure that the air tool is lubricated daily with a few drops of air tool oil dripped into the air inlet.
• Clean the air tool after each use.
• Check hose and fittings for wear or damage before each use.
• Drain the air tank/receiver of the compressor daily; Water in the airline will damage the air tool.
• In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.), it should receive a generous amount of lubrication at that time. The tool should be run for approximately 30 seconds to ensure oil has been evenly distributed throughout the tool.
• The air tool should be stored in a clean and dry environment.
