Random orbit:
The sanding pad orbits around its eccentric path. It creates a random sanding pattern in all
directions on the sanded material.
1. In random orbit, the Drive Spindle (8) and Backing Pad (6) can rotate freely and fully around their
axis.
2. To select random orbit, rotate the Spindle Lock (7) so that one flat side faces the Drive Spindle
(Fig. III).
3. Check the Drive Spindle is able to rotate fully through 360°, and does not touch the Spindle Lock.
Operation
Note: It is advised that you practice using this tool on a piece of scrap wood. Try it in both orbital
modes (see 'Changing orbital mode') to familiarise yourself with each.
1. Grip the Handle (4) firmly with one hand, so your thumb can operate the Speed Control (3).
2. Hold the Body Cover (1) with your other hand, to control the tool and apply pressure to the
workpiece.
3. Firstly squeeze the Speed Control gently to familiarise yourself to the way the tool operates.
Note: You can adjust the speed of the tool by adjusting the pressure you apply to the Speed Control.
4. Begin by holding the tool gently against the workpiece, and slowly building up speed and
pressure.
WARNING: The friction between abrasive and material will cause heat. Check the workpiece
frequently to ensure it does not burn.
WARNING: Be aware that air tools may hold residual pressure after use. Always bleed air
pressure from the tool after shutting off air supply.

Maintenance
WARNING: Always disconnect from the air supply and depressurise before cleaning or carrying
out any maintenance.
General inspection
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate loose over time.
Cleaning
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly, and
shorten the machine's service life. Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth.
IMPORTANT: There is very little that can go wrong with your air tool and it should be noted that
when an air tool fails to work it is generally because the internal workings have corroded due to
dirty, wet air and failure to follow the instructions given below.
Daily maintenance procedure
If an inline lubricator is not fitted to the air supply, the tool must be manually lubricated:
1. Disconnect from the air supply.
2. Pour 3-4 drops of oil into the air intake.
3. Operate the machine at low speed to thoroughly lubricate all internal workings.
• If the machine is in constant use or used for long periods at a time, repeat the above procedure
up to 3 times per day.
• Use air tool oil. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE NORMAL ENGINE OIL.
• Failure to comply with the operating and maintenance instructions may invalidate the guarantee.
