FAQs

What size sandpaper does this sander use?

This sander uses 75mm (approximately 3 inches) hook-and-loop sandpaper discs.

What is the required air pressure for operation?

The sander requires an operating pressure of 90psi.

How much air does the sander consume?

The sander consumes 3.5cfm (cubic feet per minute) of air.

Can I use this sander for heavy-duty material removal?

While it has variable speed and a free speed of 11000rpm, its primary design is for efficient finishing and medium-duty sanding. For very heavy material removal, a larger or more powerful sander might be more suitable.

How do I adjust the speed?

The speed is adjusted using a variable speed control lever located on the sander body.

What is the orbit size?

The orbit size is Ø2.5mm, which contributes to a smooth, swirl-free finish.

Is this sander suitable for professionals?

Yes, its variable speed, efficient operation, and hook-and-loop pad make it suitable for professional use, especially for detailed work and finishing tasks.

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.
