Ensure your air compressor can provide at least 90 PSI and 11.0 CFM for optimal performance.Connect Water Supply: Connect the included 20-foot high-pressure hose to a clean, filtered water source. Ensure the water-bell is properly attached to the hose and the sander’s water inlet.Attach Sanding Disc: Securely attach your desired 6-inch hook-and-loop sanding disc to the sander’s pad.Adjust Water Flow: Use the infinitely adjustable water control knob on the sander to set the desired water flow rate. Start with a moderate flow and adjust as needed for adequate lubrication.Begin Sanding: Place the sander flat against the surface to be sanded. Apply light, even pressure and move the sander in overlapping passes. Allow the random orbital action and water to do the work.Monitor Progress: Regularly inspect the sanded surface to ensure desired material removal and finish quality. Adjust water flow or sanding disc grit as necessary.Clean Up: After use, disconnect the air and water supplies. Rinse the sander thoroughly with clean water to remove any debris and prevent mineral buildup. Store in a clean, dry place.BENEFITS OF USING HUTCHINS 3/32″ OFFSET WATER SANDER 6″ HOOK (7544):Superior Finish Quality: Produces an exceptionally smooth, swirl-free finish, critical for high-end clearcoat and gel coat applications.Significant Time Savings: Eliminates manual water application, drastically cutting down the time required for wet sanding tasks.Reduced Operator Fatigue: Its lightweight, ergonomic design and low vibration minimize strain, allowing for longer working periods.Consistent Performance: The integrated water system ensures continuous, even water delivery, leading to consistent results across the entire sanding area.Enhanced Productivity: Streamlines the wet sanding process, enabling users to complete jobs faster and more efficiently.Versatile Application: Effectively handles a range of tasks, from restoring faded surfaces to intricate mold preparation.FEATURES:Fine 3/32″ orbital motion for delicate surface controlPatented venturi-driven water delivery systemComposite body designed for long-term durabilityErgonomic comfort grip for reduced fatigueQuick-change hook pad system for fast abrasive swapsOversized drive head for consistent surface contactAdjustable water control for tailored flow rateCompatible with 6-inch hook-and-loop sanding discsLow-profile housing improves balance and maneuverabilityHigh RPM motor for fast, efficient sanding
