If working on painted surfaces, make sure the paint is fully cured.Attach Sandpaper: Select the appropriate grit 3-inch hook-and-loop sandpaper for your task (e.g., finer grits like 1500–3000 for de-nibbing or paint prep). Align the sandpaper with the hook pad and firmly press it into place.Connect to Air Supply: Connect the sander’s 1/4″ NPT fitting to an air hose, ensuring your air compressor can provide at least 90 PSI and 10.7 CFM for optimal performance.Adjust Air Pressure (If Applicable): If your air supply has an adjustable regulator, set the pressure to approximately 90 PSI.Begin Sanding: Hold the sander firmly with both hands (if applicable to the design) or a comfortable grip, placing the pad flat against the surface. Depress the trigger to activate the tool.Maintain Even Pressure: Move the sander in overlapping passes, maintaining light and even pressure. Allow the tool to do the work; excessive pressure will reduce its effectiveness and can create undesired marks.Monitor Progress: Frequently check the surface to assess your progress and ensure you are achieving the desired finish.Clean Up: Once sanding is complete, clean the sanded surface to remove dust. Disconnect the air supply from the sander when not in use.BENEFITS OF USING HUTCHINS 3/32″ SANDER 3″ HOOK PAD (503):Superior finish quality for achieving a mirror-like, swirl-free appearance in demanding refinishing applications.Boosts productivity by combining high-speed performance with excellent precision for faster, cleaner results.Minimizes rework through precision control, helping avoid sanding mistakes like uneven removal or swirl marks.Comfortable to use over long periods thanks to reduced vibration and a well-balanced, ergonomic design.Specialized for intricate detail work with its compact 3-inch pad and fine orbit, ideal for hard-to-reach or contoured areas.Reliable and easy to maintain, with robust internal components and a drop-in motor that simplifies servicing.FEATURES:Operates using industrial-grade pneumatic power for consistent professional performance.Delivers ultra-fine sanding action via a 3/32″ orbital offset—perfect for fine finishing work.Equipped with a compact 3-inch hook-and-loop pad for enhanced maneuverability in tight spots.Runs at a high speed of 12,000 RPM to ensure smooth and efficient operation.Minimized vibration levels help prevent operator fatigue during long use.Exhaust system channels cold air away from the user for better comfort and cleanliness.Drop-in motor design allows for easy and quick part replacement without disassembly.Sturdy cylinder and housing construction provides long-lasting durability.Powered by a five-vane composite motor that maximizes air efficiency and output.Manufactured in the USA, ensuring high standards of quality and craftsmanship.
