FAQs
What type of air compressor is recommended for this sander?
You will need an air compressor that can provide at least 3 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) at 90 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch). A regulator is also recommended to maintain consistent pressure.
Can I use this sander with a standard vacuum cleaner for dust collection?
No, this sander features a self-generated vacuum system that uses its own air exhaust to pull dust into the included bag via the dust hose. It is not designed to connect to an external vacuum.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the Loops warranty documentation for the specific warranty period. For assistance, contact Loops customer support.
How do I change the sanding disc?
Ensure the sander is disconnected from the air supply. Peel off the old disc from the hook-and-loop pad, and firmly press a new Ø150mm hook-and-loop disc onto the pad, ensuring it is centered.
What does the orbit size of Ø2.5mm mean for my sanding results?
An orbit size of Ø2.5mm indicates a relatively small orbital throw, which typically results in a smoother finish with fewer visible sanding marks, making it ideal for finishing applications.
How often should I empty the dust bag?
The frequency of emptying the dust bag depends on the material being sanded and the duration of use. It is best to empty it when it is about two-thirds full to maintain optimal suction and performance.
Troubleshooting
Sander not running or running weakly
Check air hose connection for leaks. Ensure the air compressor is delivering sufficient pressure (90psi). Verify the air inlet is not blocked. Check the variable speed lever is not fully closed.
Poor dust collection
Ensure the dust hose is securely connected. Check the dust bag for fullness and empty if necessary. Clean any blockages in the dust hose or vacuum outlet.
Excessive vibration
Ensure the sanding disc is properly secured to the pad. Check for any damage to the pad or internal components. Make sure the operating pressure is within the recommended range.
Sanding disc not adhering to the pad
Clean both the back of the sanding disc and the hook-and-loop pad to remove any dust or debris. Ensure the disc is centered correctly.
