User Manual for Mirka PBS 10NV & 13NV Pneumatic Belt Sanders

Quick guide from the manual

The Mirka PBS 10NV and 13NV are pneumatic belt sanders designed for sanding various materials including metal, wood, stone, and plastic. Always ensure the tool is used with a clean, lubricated air supply and that the operator is standing on a solid floor with a firm grip on the tool.

Safety

Always wear required personal protective equipment (PPE) including face mask, safety gloves, ear protection, and safety glasses. Do not operate the tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. Ensure the workpiece is firmly fixed before sanding.

Setup and Operation

It is strongly recommended to use an air filter, regulator, and lubricator (FRL) unit to supply clean, lubricated air at the correct pressure. The recommended air pressure is 6.2 bar (90 psig). Do not exceed this pressure. If an FRL is not used, the tool must be lubricated manually by adding 2-3 drops of oil into the air inlet daily.
