Mirka Random Orbital Sander Operating Instructions Manual

  • Hello! I've analyzed the provided document, which is an operating manual for MIRKA random orbital sanders, specifically the MR-510TH, MR-610TH, MR-510THCV, MR-610THCV, MR-510THSGV and MR-610THSGV models. The manual details the sander’s specifications, usage guidelines, safety precautions, and maintenance procedures. It also covers troubleshooting and lists spare parts. I am here to assist you with any questions about the sanders or the information contained in the manual.
  • What is the recommended air pressure for the tool?
    What should I do before changing the abrasive or the pad?
    What kind of abrasive should I use?
    What should be done before first use of the tool?

Operating Instructions
Work Stations
Proper Use of Tool
1) General Industry Safety & Health Regulations, Part 1910,
OSHA 2206, available from: Superintendent of Documents;
Government Printing Ofce; Washington DC 20402
2) Safety Code for Portable Air Tools, ANSI B186.1 available from:
American National Standards Institute, Inc.; 1430 Broadway;
New York, New York 10018
3) State and Local Regulations.
This sander is designed for sanding all types of materials i.e.
metals, wood, stone, plastics, etc. using abrasive designed for this
purpose. Do not use this sander for any other purpose than that
specied without consulting the manufacturer or the manufac-
turers authorized supplier. Do not use back-up pads that have a
working speed less than 12,000 RPM free speed.
The tool is intended to be operated as a hand held tool. It is
always recommended that the tool be used when standing on a
solid oor. It can be in any position but before any such use, the
operator must be in a secure position having a rm grip and foot-
ing and be aware that the sander can develop a torque reaction.
See the section “Operating Instructions”.
Use a clean lubricated air supply that will give a measured air
pressure at the tool of 6.2 bar (90 psig) bar when the tool is run-
ning with the lever fully depressed. It is recommended to use an
approved 10 mm (3/8 in.) x 8 m (25 ft) maximum length airline. It
is recommended that the tool be connected to the air supply as
shown in Figure 1.
Do not connect the tool to the airline system without incorporating
an easy to reach and operate air shut off valve. The air supply
should be lubricated. It is strongly recommended that an air lter,
regulator and lubricator (FRL) be used as shown in Figure 1 as
this will supply clean, lubricated air at the correct pressure to
the tool. Details of such equipment can be obtained from your
supplier. If such equipment is not used then the tool should be
manually lubricated
To manually lubricate the tool, disconnect the airline and put 2 to
3 drops of suitable pneumatic motor lubricating oil such as Fuji
Kosan FK-20, Mobil ALMO 525 or Shell TORCULA® 32 into the
hose end (inlet) of the machine. Reconnect tool to the air supply
and run tool slowly for a few seconds to allow air to circulate the
oil. If the tool is used frequently, lubricate it on a daily basis or
lubricate it if the tool starts to slow or lose power.
It is recommended that the air pressure at the tool is 6.2 bar (90
psig) while the tool is running. The tool can run at lower pressures
but never higher than 6.2 bar (90 psig)
1) Read all instructions before using this tool. All operators must be fully trained in its
use and aware of these safety rules. All service and repair must be carried out by
trained personnel.
2) Make sure the tool is disconnected from the air supply. Select a suitable abrasive
and secure it to the back-up pad. Be careful and center the abrasive on the back-
up pad.
3) Always wear required safety equipment when using this tool.
4) When sanding always place the tool on the work then start
the tool. Always remove the tool from the work before stop-
ping. This will prevent gouging of the work due to excess
speed of the abrasive.
5) Always remove the air supply to the sander before tting,
adjusting or removing the abrasive or back-up pad.
6) Always adopt a rm footing and/or position and be aware
of torque reaction developed by the sander.
7) Use only correct spare parts.
8) Always ensure that the material to be sanded is rmly xed
to prevent its movement.
9) Check hose and ttings regularly for wear. Do not carry the
tool by its hose; always be careful to prevent the tool from
being started when carrying the tool with the air supply
connected.
10) Dust can be highly combustible. Vacuum dust collection
bag should be cleaned or replaced daily or when bag
reaches half full or 2.3 kg (5 lbs.). Cleaning or replacing of
bag also assures optimum performance.
11) Do not exceed maximum recommended air pressure. Use
safety equipment as recommended.
12) The tool is not electrically insulated. Do not use where
there is a possibility of coming into contact with live
electricity, gas pipes, water pipes, etc. Check the area of
operation before operation.
13) Take care to avoid entanglement with the moving parts of the tool with clothing,
ties, hair, cleaning rags, etc. If entangled, it will cause the body to be pulled
towards the work and moving parts of the machine and can be very dangerous.
14) Keep hands clear of the spinning pad during use.
15) If the tool appears to malfunction, remove from use immediately and arrange for
service and repair.
16) Do not allow the tool to free speed without taking precautions to protect any per-
sons or objects from the loss of the abrasive or pad.

equivalent with the pocket facing upward. Place the (21)
Spindle into the spindle pocket with the shaft facing upward.
2. Place the (20) Washer on the (21) Spindle shaft with the
curve of the Washer facing up so that the outside diameter of
the Washer will contact the outer diameter of the (18) Bear-
ing. Place the (70) Dust Shield onto the Spindle shaft. Place
the (19) Spacer onto the shoulder of the Spindle. Note: Be
sure that the Dust Shield is past the shoulder where Spacer
rests. Place the Bearing on the Spindle with the seal side
toward the Washer. Note: Make sure that both the inner
and outer races of the Bearing are supported by the Bearing
Press Tool when pressing them into place. Press the Bearing
to the Spacer using the (MPA0195) T-1B Spindle Bearing
Pressing Tool Top.
3. Take the (14) Filter and center it on the small bore that the
original Filter was in before removal. With a small diameter
screwdriver or at-ended rod, press the Filter into the bore
until it is at in the bottom of the bore. Place the (15) Valve
into the bore so it is oriented correctly, then press the (16)
Retainer into the bore until it is ush with the surface of the
(13) Shaft Balancer.
4. Apply a pin head size drop of #271 Loctite® or equivalent to
the outside diameter of the (18) Bearing of the Spindle As-
sembly. Spread the drop of bearing locker around the Bear-
ings until it is distributed evenly. Caution: Only a very small
amount of bearing locker is needed to prevent rotation of the
bearing OD. Any excess will make future removal difcult.
Place the Spindle Assembly into the bore of the (13) Shaft
Balancer and secure with the (22) Retaining Ring. Caution:
Make sure that the Retaining Ring is completely snapped into
the groove in the Balancer shaft. Allow the adhesive to cure.

6. Place the (4) Cylinder Assembly over the (6) Rotor with the
shorter end of the spring pin engaging the blind hole in the
(9) Front Endplate. Note: The spring pin must project 1.5
mm (.060 in.) above the anged side of the Cylinder. Oil the
ve (7) Vanes with a quality pneumatic tool oil and place in
the slots in the Rotor. One or two drops of oil should be suf-
cient.
7. Press t the rear (2) Bearing (2 shields) into the (3) Rear
Endplate with the T-1B Bearing Press Tool. Make sure the
T-1B Press Tool is centered on the O.D. of the outer race of
the Bearing. Lightly press t the Rear Endplate and Bearing
over the (13) Shaft Balancer using the small end of the
(MPA0494) T-13 Bearing Press Sleeve. The Sleeve should
press only the inner race of the Bearing. Important: The
Rear Endplate and Bearing is pressed correctly when the (4)
Cylinder is squeezed just enough between the endplates to
stop it from moving freely under its own weight when the mo-
tor assembly is held horizontal, but be able to slide between
the Endplates with a very light force. If pressed too tightly the
motor will not run freely. If the pressed assembly is to loose,
the motor will not turn freely after assembly in the (33) Motor
Housing.
8. Secure the assembly by placing the (1) Retaining Ring in the
groove of the (13) Shaft Balancer. Caution: The Retaining
Ring must be placed so that the middle and two ends of the
hoop touch the (2) Bearing rst. Both raised center portions
must be securely “snapped” into the groove in the Shaft
Balancer by pushing on the curved portions with a small
screwdriver.
9. Lightly grease the (5) O-Ring and place in the air inlet of the
(4) Cylinder Assembly.
10. Lightly grease or oil the inside diameter of the (33) Motor
Housing, line up the spring pin of the (4) Cylinder Assembly
with the marking on the Motor Housing and slide the Motor
Assembly into the Motor Housing. Make sure the Spring
Pin engages the pocket in the Motor Housing. Carefully
screw the (12) Lock Ring into the Motor Housing with the
(MPA0025) T-6 Motor Lock Ring Wrench/Spindle Puller Tool.
Torque settings to be 6.2-7.3 N-m (55-65 in-lbs). Note: A
simple technique to assure rst thread engagement is to turn
the Lock Ring counter-clockwise with the T-6 Motor Lock
Ring Wrench/Spindle Puller while applying light pressure.
You will hear and feel a click when the lead thread of the Lock
Ring drops into the lead thread of the housing.
11. Spin on a new (24) Pad and hand-tighten it using the (23)
Pad Wrench.
Testing:
Place 3 drops of quality pneumatic air tool oil directly into the
motor inlet and connect the machine to a 6.2 bar (90-psig) air
supply. A 12,000 RPM tool should run between 11,500 to 12,500
RPM when the air pressure is 6.2 bar (90-psig) at the inlet of the
tool while the tool is running at free speed. This free speed will
be about 500 rpm to 1,000 RPM less when a Vacuum or Hook
Face Pad is used because of wind resistance. This will not affect
performance when sanding.
