Model H8253 Air Belt Sander -9 -
Keeping the sander clean is vital to its
operation and leads to longer tool life.
After every use, clean and inspect the
sander.
• Wipe the housing with a dry cloth, or
blow off the dust and debris with com-
pressed air.
• Check for damage to tooling, hoses,
housing or other accessories.
Do not allow dust, chips, sand, etc. into
the air connectors or into the body of the
sander air motor; this may result in leaks
and damage to the sander and the air
couplings.
Always disconnect air from sander
whenever servicing! During mainte-
nance, a sander connected to air may
start accidentally, causing personal
injury!
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Lubrication
The air sander MUST have 2-6 drops of
oil dropped directly into the air inlet before
and after each use and before storage.
After oiling, remove the sanding belt, then
run the sander to purge excess oil. Wipe
the tool down with a rag, re-install the
sanding belt, then begin sanding.
Another option to manual oiling would be
to install a lubricator in your air compressor
line. If your air compressor line already has
a lubricator, then regular lubrication of your
sander will not be necessary. Just make
sure there is always oil in the lubricator.
