Ensure the disc’s holes align with the pad’s holes for optimal dust extraction.Connect Air Supply: Connect the sander to a clean, lubricated air supply line capable of providing 90 PSI and at least 11.0 CFM.Connect Dust Extraction (Optional but Recommended): For best results and a cleaner workspace, connect a suitable shop vacuum hose to the sander’s vacuum swivel port.Sanding Technique: Hold the sander firmly with both hands. Place the pad flat against the surface to be sanded before engaging the trigger.Apply Even Pressure: Move the sander in overlapping passes, applying light, even pressure. Allow the tool’s weight and orbital action to do the work. Avoid pressing down excessively, as this can impede the random orbital action and lead to swirl marks.Maintain Motion: Keep the sander moving constantly over the surface. Do not allow it to sit in one spot while running, as this can create divots or excessive heat.Monitor Dust: Regularly check the sanding disc for clogging and replace it as needed. The dust extraction system will help maintain disc life and visibility.Clean Up: Once sanding is complete, disconnect the air supply and vacuum. Clean the sander and store it properly.BENEFITS OF USING HUTCHINS 3/32″ OFFSET FINISHING SANDER 6″ PSA 6-HOLE (3950):Delivers a swirl-free, ultra-smooth finish ideal for critical prep stages.Reduces rework with cleaner surface preparation and consistent quality.Improves productivity through vibration-reduction and fatigue-minimizing design.Enhances workspace cleanliness with integrated dust extraction.Maintains long-term durability and reliability with U.S.-made craftsmanship.FEATURES:Integrated vacuum swivel port for efficient dust removal.Lightweight composite motor housing for reduced user strain.Ultra-smooth motor operation with positive action drive.Unique 4-bearing support system ensures consistent pad contact.Oversized drive head minimizes pad instability during operation.Designed to insulate against operational vibration.Accepts 6-inch PSA (Pressure Sensitive Adhesive) sanding discs.Built with a focus on low-profile design for maneuverability.
