Silverline Air Orbital Jitterbug Sander - Manual (Page 8)

Air supply connection
• This tool should be connected to a clean, dry air supply with inline oiler
and water separator
• Do not allow supply pressure to exceed the maximum stated (see
“Specifications”)
• Ensure that water is drained from air system daily
• Ensure that all parts of the system (hoses, couplers, etc.) are correctly
rated for the air pressure to be used
Setting tool power
• The tool speed/power can be adjusted by reducing/increasing the air
supply pressure within the range specified in ‘Specifications’. Further
speed adjustments are made by turning the Air Restrictor (3)
• Whilst working with the tool, speed adjustments can be made via the
Speed Control Trigger (2)
Fitting a sanding sheet
1. Select sanding sheet of the correct grit for the task
2. Clamp each end of the sheet under the Front and Rear Clamps (7 & 5)
3. Ensure the abrasive paper is pulled tight against the Sanding Pad (6)
and aligned so that the pad is completely covered
Operation
1. We recommend that you test the machine on scrap material prior to
starting work on the workpiece
2. Grip the main handle firmly with one hand, so that you can easily
operate the Speed Control Trigger (2)
3. Squeeze the speed control gently to get used to the way the tool
operates
4. You can adjust the speed of the tool by adjusting the pressure you
apply to the Speed Control Trigger (2)
5. Begin by bringing the abrasive paper gently into contact with the
workpiece, and slowly build up speed and pressure
Note: The friction between abrasive paper and material will cause heat.
Check the workpiece frequently to ensure it does not burn.
Note: DO NOT allow the tool to run in ‘idle rotation’ for an extended period
of time. This will shorten its life.
WARNING: Be aware that air tools may hold residual pressure after use.
Always bleed air pressure from the tool after shutting off air supply.

• Accessories and consumables for this tool, including sanding sheets with

Maintenance
WARNING: Always disconnect from the air supply and depressurise before
cleaning or carrying out any maintenance.
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: Disconnect from the air supply, pour the
equivalent of a tablespoon of oil into the air intake. 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, a
combined filter/lubricator must be fitted. There must be an air filter fitted
at all times
• 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
Storage
• Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children
Disposal
• As with other power tools, air tools should not be disposed of with
household waste
• Air tools may contain traces of tool oil and other lubricants and so must
be recycled accordingly
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct
way to dispose of power tools
