Troubleshooting
Sander doesn't start.
Check the air compressor is turned on and supplying air. Ensure the air hose is properly connected and that the air pressure is at the correct level.
Sander is not removing material effectively.
Check the sanding pad; it might be worn or clogged. Replace the pad or clean it if possible. Increase the air pressure or select a coarser grit sanding pad.

Check the sanding pad for damage or uneven wear. Ensure the pad is securely attached. Reduce the air pressure if the vibration is still excessive.
