AIR SUPPLY

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL LEAD TO PREMATURE MALFUNCTION OF THE EQUIPMENT WHICH IS NOT  OVERED BY THE GUARANTEE.

HYDRAULIC FLUID SPECIFICATION:
Hydraulic fluid viscosity refers to its properties to flow and how it reacts with heat. A low viscosity is thinner than a high viscosity.

Hydraulic fluid becomes thinner as it heats so choosing the right viscosity is essential. If the viscosity is too low it may provide insufficient lubrication when heated. Equally, if it is too high the fluid may provide excessive resistance to move through the lines when cold.

The ISO (International Standards Organisation) viscosity grading system measures the kinematic viscosity in centistokes (cSt) at 40° which is todays accepted standard. The SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers] viscosity grade value is based on a scale.

This equipment is suited to an ISO grade 22-32 (SAE grade 5W-15W) hydraulic fluid or monograde oil.

The fluid must be constantly supplied to the equipment during use to ensure complete lubrication and optimum performance is achieved. It also acts as a rust inhibitor when the equipment is not in use. Most of the major brand petroleum companies produce a suitable lubricant to the above specifications.

This air tool operates at a maximum pressure of 90psi and must be controlled via a combination pressure regulator, in-line lubricator and moisture filter such as the Draper range (see your local Draper stockist) which with proper maintenance will ensure a constant supply of dry air and lubricating oil at all times (see illustration below). Always check machine operating pressure before use.

WATER IN THE COMPRESSOR TANK WILL CAUSE SERIOUS CORROSION TO YOUR AIR TOOLS AND SHOULD BE DRAINED DAILY TO AVOID EXCESSIVE WATER IN YOUR AIR SUPPLY. DIRTY WET AIR RAPIDLY SHORTENS THE LIFE OF YOUR AIR TOOL.

If you are using an air tool on a hose over 25ft. long it is advisable to increase the bore of the hose to the next larger size available ie. 4″ increases ¥8°. This will ensure adequate pressure and volume of air to power the machine.

RECOMMENDED AIR SUPPLY SET UP
After each use and before prolonged storage lubricate the equipment with approximately 1.5m of oil directly down the air inlet.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT:
Draper Tools Limited recommends that this machine should not be modified or used for any application other than that for which it was designed. If you are unsure of its relative applications do not hesitate to contact us in writing & we will advise you,

• Power tools shall not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres unless specifically designed for that Purpose;
• Power tools shall be isolated from the energy source before changing or adjusting the inserted tool;
• WARNING:
• There is a risk of loose clothing, hair, etc. being caught in the rotating spindle of the power tool;
• Power tools are not generally insulated for coming into contact with electric power sources.
• Unexpected tool movement or breakage of inserted tool may cause injuries.
• Unsuitable postures may not allow counteracting of normal or unexpected movement of the power tool.
• There is a risk of drawing in or trapping.
• There is a risk of being injured by whipping air hoses.
• Unexpected direction of inserted tool movement can cause a hazardous situation.
• Release the start and stop device in the case of an interruption of the energy supply;
• Only lubricants/hydraulic fluids recommended by the manufacturer shall be used;
• Release pressure when not in use. Disconnect from the air line;
• Use only genuine Draper replacement parts.
• Do not modify this polisher in any way.
• Only use inserted tools, intended for polishing, recommended by the manufacturer.
• Donot carry or move the tool by the air line.
• In the event of hydraulic fluid/monograde oil contact or spillage refer to the manufacturers datasheet. As a general guide refer below.

HYDRAULIC FLUID DATA SHEET:
Always wear gloves and goggles when dealing with hydraulic fluid.

Hydraulic fluid composition is achieved when highly refining mineral oil by means of a solvent.

AS a substance is not considered to be hazardous to health under normal conditions of use.

First Aid recommendations

• In case of ingestion:
  Wash out mouth with clean water & seek medical advice.
  Do not induce vomiting.

• In case of contact with eyes:
  Thoroughly flush eyes with clean water for 5 to 10 minutes and seek medical advice.

• In case of contact with skin:
  Wash area with soap and water. Remove affected clothing & wash. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.

• Other:
  Seek medical advice immediately.

Hydraulic fluid is a combustible and in the event of fire should be extinguished using a foam or dry powder fire extinguisher. Do not use water.

In the event of accidental release into the environment measures to prevent spread must be adhered. Do not contaminate rivers, waterways, or drains. Spillage should be contained with sand, grit, or other appropriate barriers. Warn bystanders as spillage may present a slip hazard. Hydraulic fluid is not considered biodegradable and may in fact bioaccumulate.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Residual Risk. Although the safety instructions and operating manuats for our tools contain extensive instructions on safe working with power tools, every power tool involves a certain residual risk which can not be completely excluded by safety mechanisms. Power tools must therefore always be operated with caution!

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR AIR POLISHER

• SCOPE: This air polisher is designed for localised polishing, and is equipped with a flexible pad to be fitted with a either a polishing bonnet or foam compounding pad. Any other use is forbidden.
• UNPACKING: After removing the packing material, make sure the product is in perfect condition and that there are no visible damaged parts. If in doubt, do not use the product and contact the dealer from whom it was purchased.
  The packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene, etc.}, must be disposed of in an appropriate refuse collection container. These materials must not be left within the reach of children as they are potential sources of danger.

ASSEMBLY

• WHIP HOSE (Fig.1)}:
  To connect the sander to an air line a ‘4″ BSP male thread whip hose’ will be required. Wind a length of PTFE tape” around the thread before securing the hose
  in place. The connection must be firm for an air tight union.

OPERATION AND USE

• NOTE: Disconnect from the air supply before carrying out adjustment, servicing or maintenance.

• BACKING PAD (Fig.2):

• NOTE: (A)
  The backing pad is considered a consumable item.

• Lock the spindle with the spanner ( A ) and unscrew the backing pad anticlockwise.
  With the spindle heid firm insert the replacement backing pad and secure.
  WARNING: Ensure the spanner is removed from the spindle prior to starting.

• TRIGGER (Fig.3.):
  CAUTION: Ensure the accessory is correctly attached to the backing pad before attempting to begin work as damage may occur to the surface should the accessory become partially or completely dislodged.
  Ensure the polisher is raised off the workpiece. Depress the trigger B to operate the polisher. This machine is intended for polishing only.
  Apply equal pressure on the workpiece with the backing pad remaining flat. Attempting to polish areas using only the edge will lead to damage to the backing pad.

• REGULATOR (Fig.4.):
  Rotate selector C to regulate the speed most appropriate for the application. Rotate anti-clockwise to decrease the air flow/speed.

• NOTE:
  Excess pressure when polishing reduces the effectiveness of the tool.
  Replace foam compounding pads or polishing bonnetts when worn.
  Inhalation of dust particles can be detrimental to health.
  Always wear a dust mask suitable for the material being polished.

• FOAM PADS & BONNET INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT (Fig.5.)
  The pads, backing pad and the polishing bonnet are considered consumable items. The pads/bonnet D  simply push on to the backing pad E and are held in place with a hook and loop fastening.
  To remove the worn pads/bonnet, simply pull away from the hook and loop and re-apply a new pads/bonnet.

• NOTE:
  Polishing pads/bonnet and the backing pad are consumable items.

MAINTENANCE

• Every Day:
  Before connection to the air supply;

• Drain the compressor reservoir of condensate.

• Drain the air lines of condensate.

• Drain the combined separator filter, regulator, water trap.

• Fill up the combined separator filter, regulator, lubricant reservoir.

• Check the line pressure is correct for the tool.

• After Daily Use:

• Repeat the above procedures.

• Lubricate the tool with approximately 1.5m! of oil directly down the air inlet.

• Use only genuine Draper replacement parts.
