Proper maintenance is essential to keep your pneumatic sander performing at its best. In this guide, we will outline when and how to oil and clean your pneumatic sander to prevent premature wear and maintain optimal performance.
Lubrication
- Regular oiling of your pneumatic sander is crucial for smooth and trouble-free sanding.
- Ideally, use an FRL (filter, regulator, and lubricator) unit. If not available, follow these steps:
a. Add two drops of oil into the air inlet
b. Connect the air hose and run the sander at low RPM for 30 seconds to distribute the oil evenly
c. Use oil specifically designed for pneumatic tools, either provided with the machine or intended for this purpose - Ensure the proper functioning of the drain in your compressed air system
Cleaning
- Wipe the handle with a cloth to keep it clean and maintain a comfortable grip.
- Prevent dust and debris accumulation by regularly cleaning the air inlet connection, plug, and coupler.
- We recommend cleaning the tool on a regular basis to ensure optimal performance.
- Periodically check and clean the muffler as needed.
By following these lubrication and cleaning practices, you can maintain the efficiency and longevity of your pneumatic sander.
