I know to put 2 or so drops of oil in the air intake, ok, on the side there is a screw and above it say oil. How much and how often?

I would add to both comments: The damage to air tools of all kinds occurs after you finish using them. This is when they are full of moisture/water from the moist air you have been driving them with for a single use or several times a day. The few drops of oil you put in before using them is fine for general lubrication and should be repeated frequently whilst in use but the 5-10 drops (subject to tool type) you put in after you finish is what will determine the life of your tool. You must then pull the trigger with the air still connected and allow the air combined wityh the oil to displace the water that is sitting on your steel bearings and other metal components leaving behind a protective coating so it does not rust inside. 25 years of Air tool sales and repairs behind these comments.

hi can you lets me known where to waranty irt315 air sander , I used couple time only , it was broken

SHOULD HAVE 1 YEAR WARANTY,YOU COULD GET IN TOUCH WITH SELLER FOR REFUN.mine still going strong us in in my body shop every day,the base is a weak point where sand paper goes,,hope this will help..

Can you wet sand with it?

Why would you wet sand with a air file? I hope you aren't doing body work by wet sanding. I wouldn't suggest it. Air files are made for small to major body repair. I would if you got it wet it would likely lock up. It isn't water proof. And I would never suggest doing body work by wet sanding. Bare metal rust when wet.

Does anyone else have a problem with this sander spitting grease/oil out of the exhaust onto your work surface?

I use tool oil It needs to be oiled , But pull the leaver it the air to get oil out of sander not on the car . Wipe it down . then use it on the car I oil daily . this will happen to a DA or any air tool .

A great air sander! I personally think that this one is the one to buy.

A proven power tool. If you have a decent air compressor this tool can save you lots of time and hard work. I’ve had several over the years and decided to get a new one. It will work well for smoothing flat areas and rounded places as well.

It would be nice if it had instructions

This is my first experience with a straight line pneumatic sander. It is not my first rodeo with pneumatic tools. The unit did not come with instructions. It came with a little card prompting me to search the IR website for documents, which I did, and which returned zero search results. Courtesy of an AI web search, apparently this tool design requires oiling in addition to the normal "air inlet" oiling I usually do daily with my air tools. Indeed, there is a small phillips screw on the left side of the sander that says "oil". It leads to an internal reservoir that actually holds a lot of air-tool oil (probably a couple tablespoons). The unit was shipped dry. It would have been nice if there was a sticker on it that said "oil here before use" or something obvious like that. The unit I received stops in a middle position every time I release the trigger. I must "cock" the sander all the way forward or backward to get it to re-start. I do not know if that's by design or if my unit is defective, or if I damaged it by operating it for less than a minute without that oil reservoir filled. The product description also indicates it is variable speed, which it isn't. The speed can be adjusted somewhat by regulating air pressure, but it won't operate at all much below 90 psi, which is the max rated air pressure. I'm returning the unit for an exact replacement, hoping I got a lemon. Will update review then. I cannot comment yet on how well it works or doesn't work on my boat fairing project.
