Operation (Continued)

Using fittings or air hoses which are too small can create a pressure drop and reduce the power of the tool. A 3/8” (I.D.) fitting with 1/4” NPT threads is recommended. Most compressors are shipped with a short, 1/4” I.D. hose. For proper performance and more convenience, use a 3/8” I.D. hose. Hoses longer than 50 feet should have a 1/2” I.D.

Never carry a tool by the hose

or pull the hose to move the tool or a compressor. Keep hoses away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Replace any

hose that is damaged, weak or worn.

Maintenance

STORAGE

The air tool must be lubricated before storing. Follow the air motor lubrication instructions with an exception to step 4. Run the sander for only 2 to 3 seconds so more oil will remain in the air tool when storing.

Troubleshooting Chart

Symptom

Possible Cause(s)

Tool runs slowly or will not operate.

1. Grit or gum in tool

Corrective Action

1.Flush the tool with Campbell Hausfeld air tool oil, gum solvent, or an equal mixture of SAE 10 motor oil and kerosene. If Campbell Hausfeld oil is not used, lubricate the tool after cleaning

2. No oil in tool

2. Lubricate the tool according to the lubrication

 

instructions in this manual

3.Low air pressure

4.Air hose leaks

5.Pressure drops

3a. Adjust the regulator on the tool to the maximum setting (If applicable)

3b. Adjust the compressor regulator to tool maximum while the tool is running free

4. Tighten and seal hose fittings if leaks are found

5a. Be sure the hose is the proper size. Long hoses or tools using large volumes of air may require a hose with an I.D. of 1/2” or larger depending on the total length of the hose

5b. Do not use multiple number of hoses connected together with quick connect fittings. This causes additional pressure drops and reduces the tool power. Directly connect the hoses together

 

6.

Regulator set too low

6. Adjust regulator until tool reaches maximum speed

 

 

 

 

Moisture blowing out of tool

1.

Water in tank

1. Drain tank. (See air compressor manual). Oil tool and

 

 

 

run until no water is evident. Oil tool again and run 1-2

 

 

 

seconds

 

2.

Water in the air lines/hoses

2a. Install a water separator/filter (PA2121). NOTE: Separators

 

 

 

only work properly when the air passing through the

 

 

 

separator is cool. Locate the separator/filter as far as

 

 

 

possible from the compressor

 

 

 

2b. Install an air dryer

 

 

 

2c. Anytime water enters the tool, the tool should be oiled

 

 

 

immediately

 

 

 

 

Sander stops when applied to work surface
