Ensure your air compressor can provide sufficient CFM for optimal performance.Select Abrasive Disc: Choose the appropriate 6-inch hook-and-loop abrasive disc for your task (e.g., coarser grit for heavy removal, finer grit for finishing).Attach Abrasive Disc: Align the abrasive disc with the hook-and-loop pad on the sander and firmly press it into place to ensure it is securely attached.Prepare Workpiece: Ensure your workpiece is clean and stable. Secure it to prevent movement during sanding.Begin Sanding: Hold the sander firmly with both hands. Place the pad flat on the surface of the workpiece before engaging the trigger or paddle.Move Evenly: Apply light, even pressure and move the sander in overlapping circular or elliptical patterns across the surface. Avoid tilting the sander, as this can create uneven sanding patterns.Monitor Progress: Regularly lift the sander to check your progress and clear any dust buildup. Adjust your technique as needed.Clean Up: Once sanding is complete, disconnect the air supply, remove the abrasive disc, and clean the sander and surrounding area.BENEFITS OF USING HUTCHINS 6″ HOOK 5/16″ OFFSET RANDOM ORBITAL SANDER (700H):The Hutchins 700H sander offers a significant advantage in projects requiring efficient material reduction without compromising the final surface quality.Its large offset orbit is specifically engineered to cut through material quickly, saving valuable time on larger jobs or initial surface preparation.The ergonomic design and low vibration ensure that even during extensive use, operator fatigue is minimized, allowing for longer work periods and consistent performance.Furthermore, the quick-change hook-and-loop pad system facilitates seamless transitions between different abrasive grits, enhancing productivity.As an American-made tool, it reflects a commitment to quality and reliability, providing a dependable solution for demanding professional environments.FEATURES:Paddle-style throttle: Provides easy and precise control over the sander’s operation.Exhaust direction: Designed to channel cold exhaust air away from the operator for increased comfort.Low profile design: Enhances maneuverability and control, allowing for easier access to various surfaces.Drop-in motor assembly: Simplifies maintenance and allows for quick, convenient motor replacement to minimize downtime.Integrated dust ports: Facilitates efficient dust extraction when connected to a vacuum system, promoting a cleaner work environment.
