Ensure the air pressure is set to 90 PSI for optimal performance.Adjust Speed (if desired): Utilize the variable air (VA) control to set the desired RPM for your specific sanding task. Lower speeds are suitable for delicate work, while higher speeds are for more aggressive material removal.Engage Sander: Hold the sander firmly against the surface to be sanded, then depress the trigger to start the random orbital action.Sanding Technique: Move the sander in overlapping circular or elliptical patterns across the surface. Apply consistent, light pressure, allowing the sander to do the work. Avoid pressing down too hard, as this can reduce efficiency and leave swirl marks.Monitor Dust (if applicable): If using with a vacuum system, ensure the vacuum hose is properly connected to the swivel port to manage dust effectively.Turn Off: Release the trigger to stop the sander. Disconnect the air supply when finished or when changing discs.BENEFITS OF USING HUTCHINS 6″ PSA 6-HOLE 3/16″ OFFSET GENERAL PURPOSE SANDER (3960):Achieves exceptionally smooth and consistent finishes on various materials, reducing the need for extensive post-sanding work.Enhances productivity through rapid material removal, allowing for quicker completion of projects.Provides a comfortable user experience due to its lightweight and ergonomic design, making it suitable for prolonged operation.Offers versatile application across different projects, from automotive body preparation to fine woodworking, thanks to its all-purpose 3/16″ offset.Contributes to a cleaner work environment when paired with a vacuum system, minimizing airborne dust and improving visibility.Represents a reliable investment, being an American-made tool known for its robust construction and long service life.FEATURES:Compact Form Factor: Designed with a streamlined, low-profile body for improved maneuverability and access in confined spaces.Air-Powered Operation: Utilizes compressed air for consistent power delivery, offering advantages in continuous use scenarios.Precision Balancing: Internally engineered for vibration reduction, contributing to smoother operation and enhanced user comfort.Integrated Air Control: Features an easily accessible variable air control mechanism for immediate speed adjustments during operation.Swivel Vacuum Port: Incorporates a unique vacuum hose connection that rotates freely, preventing kinks and improving hose management.PSA Pad System: Equipped with a pressure-sensitive adhesive pad for quick and secure attachment and removal of sanding discs.6-Hole Dust Collection: The pad design includes six holes to facilitate efficient dust extraction, promoting a cleaner sanding surface and environment.
