Troubleshooting
Sander not spinning or spinning slowly
Check air pressure is at 90psi. Ensure the air line is not kinked and the connection is secure. Verify the variable speed lever is set correctly. Check for blockages in the air inlet.
Excessive vibration
Ensure sandpaper is securely attached to the hook-and-loop pad. Check the pad for damage or warping. Verify the tool is operating at the recommended pressure; over-pressurizing can increase vibration.
Poor sanding performance
Ensure the correct grit sandpaper is being used for the task. Check that the sandpaper is not clogged with dust. Increase air pressure slightly if possible, up to the maximum recommended operating pressure, or check if the air compressor can maintain the required 3.5cfm.
Air leaking from the tool
Inspect all connections for tightness. Check the air line for damage. Examine the housing for cracks or damage, and check the variable speed lever mechanism for proper sealing.
