How to Disassemble a Jitterbug Orbital Sander

A Jitterbug sander, model TL1005, is a type of orbital sander, like the one manufactured by Campbell Hausfeld, an Ohio-based company specializing in air compressors and air compressor-powered tools. Jitterbug sanders are powered by air compressors via a hose that connects from the air compressor to the inlet on the back side of the sander. The Jitterbug is commonly used on both wood and automotive body repairs. If the Jitterbug needs to be repaired or serviced, it may need to be disassembled.
