KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:Precision Straight-Line Action: Emulates manual sanding movements to create perfectly flat surfaces and eliminate waves, crucial for high-quality finish preparation.Efficient Dust Extraction: Features an 18-hole hook & loop pad system and an integrated vacuum swivel port, allowing for connection to an external vacuum system to capture dust directly at the source, ensuring a cleaner work area and better visibility.Optimized Pad Size: The 4-1/2″ x 16″ pad provides substantial coverage for efficient material removal on larger surfaces, while still offering control for detailed work.Robust Air-Powered Performance: Operates at 3000 SPM, delivering consistent power for effective material removal and shaping on various substrates, from body fillers to primer.User Comfort & Control: Designed for balanced operation to reduce fatigue during extended use, with the vacuum swivel port minimizing hose interference.SPECIFICATIONS:Pad Size: 4-1/2″ x 16″Abrasive Attachment Type: Hook (Hook & Loop)Holes for Dust Extraction: 18Strokes Per Minute (SPM): 3000Stroke Length: 15/16″Air Consumption: 6.2 CFM @ 90 PSINoise Level: 88 dBaCountry of Origin: Made in USAIncluded in Product: Hutchins 4-1/2″ x 16″ Hook 18-hole Straight Line Sander (4920-4H) unitHOW TO USE:Preparation: Ensure your air compressor can supply a consistent 90 PSI at 6.2 CFM. Attach an appropriate air hose to the sander’s air inlet. If using dust extraction, connect a vacuum hose to the integrated vacuum swivel port.Abrasive Attachment: Select the appropriate 4-1/2″ x 16″ hook (hook & loop) sanding paper with 18 holes. Align the holes on the sandpaper with the pad and press firmly to secure.Operation: Hold the sander firmly with both hands. Place the sanding pad flat against the workpiece surface. Depress the trigger to start the sanding action.Sanding Technique: Apply even, moderate pressure. Move the sander in smooth, overlapping passes. Keep the pad flat to avoid uneven wear.Dust Collection: If using a vacuum, ensure it is operating during sanding to collect dust effectively.Completion: Once finished, release the trigger, disconnect the air supply, remove the abrasive, and clean the tool using compressed air if needed.BENEFITS OF USING HUTCHINS 4-1/2″ X 16″ HOOK 18-HOLE STRAIGHT LINE SANDER (4920-4H):Produces exceptionally flat and wave-free surfaces: Critical for high-quality paint application and finishing.Reduces manual sanding time and effort: Increasing productivity for professional users.Minimizes airborne dust and improves shop cleanliness: Contributing to a healthier work environment.Delivers consistent performance: For a uniform finish across large areas.Reduces the need for rework: By providing a predictable and controlled sanding pattern.FEATURES:Swivel-mounted vacuum port: Prevents hose tangling and improves tool handling.High-efficiency dual-cylinder motor: Delivers balanced power for uniform sanding strokes.Hook-and-loop abrasive system: Allows for quick abrasive changes and reliable adhesion.Durable U.S.-built construction: Withstands professional-grade usage and extended work sessions.Full-contact sanding footprint: Ensures consistent pressure and surface leveling.Low-vibration engineering: Enhances comfort and reduces fatigue during prolonged use.
