KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:Precision Orbital Action: The 3/32″ offset orbit provides exact cut control, creating an exceptionally fine and consistent finish with minimal swirl marks, essential for high-quality paint preparation and clear coat applications.Hook Pad System: Features a 6″ hook (Velcro) pad for rapid and effortless sandpaper changes, optimizing productivity and reducing downtime during tasks.Vacuum-Assist Capability: Designed to connect to an external vacuum source, it effectively extracts sanding dust, leading to a cleaner work environment and improved visibility of the sanding surface.Ergonomic Design: Lightweight and low-profile, this sander offers comfortable handling and reduced user fatigue, allowing for extended periods of use without discomfort.Smooth and Quiet Operation: Engineered for low vibration and noise, enhancing the user experience and contributing to a more pleasant work atmosphere.Consistent Performance: Equipped with an ultra-smooth motor and a unique 4-bearing support, it ensures reliable, full-contact sanding without pad wobble, delivering uniform results every time.SPECIFICATIONS:Pad Type: 6″ Hook PadOffset/Orbit: 3/32″Action: Random OrbitalRPM: 10,000+ RPMAir Consumption: 10.7 CFM to 11.0 CFM @ 90 PSIWeight: 2 lbs 3.5 ozNoise Level: 80-81 dBaIncluded: Sander unitHOW TO USE:Prepare the Sander: Attach the appropriate 6″ hook-and-loop sandpaper disc to the sander’s pad. Ensure the disc is centered and securely fastened.Connect Air Supply: Connect the sander to a clean, regulated air supply capable of delivering the recommended CFM and PSI. If using the vacuum-assist feature, connect a vacuum hose to the sander’s vacuum port and to an external dust extraction system.Adjust Air Pressure (If Applicable): Set your air compressor regulator to the recommended operating pressure, typically around 90 PSI, to ensure optimal performance.Start Sanding: Hold the sander flat against the work surface. Activate the sander by depressing the trigger. Allow the sander to reach full speed before making contact with the material.Maintain Consistent Movement: Move the sander in overlapping passes, maintaining even pressure across the surface. Avoid pressing down too hard, as this can impede the orbital action and create swirl marks.Monitor Dust Collection: If using the vacuum-assist feature, periodically check the dust collection system to ensure it’s functioning effectively and empty it as needed.Inspect Work: Regularly lift the sander to inspect the progress and ensure a uniform finish is being achieved. Repeat passes as necessary until the desired surface quality is reached.Clean Up: Once sanding is complete, disconnect the air supply, remove the sandpaper, and clean any residual dust from the sander and the work area.BENEFITS OF USING HUTCHINS 6″ HOOK PAD 3/32″ OFFSET FINISHING SANDER (3950H):Achieves exceptionally smooth surfaces for superior paint adhesion and appearance.Reduces rework and saves time with its efficient and precise sanding action.Enhances user comfort during extended operation due to its lightweight and low-vibration design.Contributes to a cleaner, healthier work environment when paired with a dust extraction system.Provides consistent, professional-grade results across various finishing applications.Built to withstand rigorous daily use, offering long-term reliability and performance.FEATURES:Composite motor housing and shroud constructionPositive action drive systemOversized drive head for stabilityUnique 4-bearing motor supportInternal air passages designed for optimal flowVacuum swivel port to minimize hose kinkingPrecision-machined internal componentsErgonomic grip for balanced handling
