equipment.
WARNING! disconnect from air supply before changing accessories or servicing.
9 Maintain the sander in good condition (use an authorised service agent).
9 Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. non-authorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
9 Use in a suitable clean and tidy working area, free from unrelated materials and ensure there is adequate lighting.
9 Before each use check abrasive pads for condition. If worn or damaged replace immediately.
9 ensure the abrasive pad rating is equal to, or greater than the RPM rating of the sander.
9 ensure there are no flammable or combustible materials near the work area.
WARNING! Always wear approved eye or face and hand protection when operating the sander.
9 Use face, dust, or respiratory protection in accordance with CoSHH regulations.
9 depending on the task, sander noise level may exceed 85dB, in which case wear safety ear defenders.
9 Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings, other loose jewellery, and contain and/or tie back long hair.
9 Wear appropriate protective clothing and keep hands and body clear of working parts.
9 Maintain correct balance and footing. ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
9 Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
9 Check moving parts alignment on a regular basis.
9 ensure workpiece is secure before operating the sander. never hold a workpiece by hand.
9 Check the workpiece to ensure there are no protruding screws, bolts, nuts, nails, stones, etc.
9 Avoid unintentional starting.
WARNING! ensure correct air pressure is maintained and not exceeded. Recommended pressure 70-90psi
9 Keep air hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check air hose for wear before each use and ensure that all connections are
secure.
9 Prolonged exposure to vibration from this sander poses a health risk. It is the operator’s responsibility to correctly assess the potential
hazard and issue guidelines for safe periods of use and offer suitable protective equipment.
8 DO NOT use the sander for a task it is not designed to perform.
8 DO NOT operate sander if any parts are damaged or missing as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.
8 DO NOT use cloth backed sanding pads. Use only appropriate paper adhesive pads, following pad instructions.
WARNING! DO NOT sand any materials containing asbestos.
8 DO NOT carry the sander by the hose, or yank the hose from the air supply.
8 DO NOT force, or apply heavy pressure to the sander, let the sander do the work.
8 DO NOT place attachments close to your face and DO NOT point at other persons or animals.
8 DO NOT operate sander when you are tired, under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
8 DO NOT use sander where there is flammable liquids, solids or gases such as paint solvents and including waste wiping or cleaning
rags etc.
8 DO NOT carry the sander with your finger on the power lever.
8 DO NOT direct air from the air hose at yourself or others.
9 When not in use disconnect from air supply and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.
LEAD PAINT WARNING!
Paint once contained lead as a traditional ingredient. Contact with the dust from the removal of such paint is toxic and
must therefore be avoided. The following action must be taken before using the sander on a surface that you suspect
may contain lead paint.
1. User must determine potential hazard relating to age of paint to be removed.
(Modern paints do not have lead content).
2. DANGER! Keep all persons and pets away from the working area. The following persons are particularly vulnerable to the
effects of lead paint dust: Expectant women, babies and children.
3. We recommend personal protection by using the following safety items:
a) Paint Spray Respirator (Sealey Part no. SSP1605).
b) Hooded Coverall (Sealey Part no. SSP267).
c) nitrile Gloves (Sealey Part no. SSP55l).
4. Take adequate measures to contain the paint dust, flakes and scrapings.
5. Continue to wear safety equipment as in (3) above and thoroughly clean all areas when task is complete. ensure paint
waste is disposed of in sealed bags or containers.

4. PREPARING SANDER FOR USE
4.1. AIR SUPPLy
4.1.1. Ensure the sander’s air valve (or throttle) is in the “o” position before connecting to the air supply.
4.1.2. You will require an air pressure between 70-90psi, and an air flow according to the specification above.
WARNING! ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi while operating the sander. Too high an air pressure and
unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear, and may be dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury.
4.1.3. drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the sander and will invalidate your warranty.
4.1.4. Clean air inlet filter weekly. Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig.1
4.1.5. line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). The minimum hose diameter should be
1/4” I.d. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
4.1.6. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.
4.2. cOUPLINGS.
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the air sander. To overcome this, connect a leader
hose to the sander. A quick change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose (See fig.1 &
fig.2).
4.3. Dust collection (SA09 only).
The dust outlet tube of the sander must be connected to a dust-free system in accordance with CoSHH and any other regulations
that may apply to the work area. For information on dust-free systems, contact your local Sealey Stockist.

5. OPERATION
WARNING! ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions for use.
5.1. ASSEMBLy.
5.1.1. Screw in the backing pad into the spindle nut (g.5). Tighten using the supplied spanner.
5.1.2. Apply the appropriate sanding pad to the backing pad. Use only pads with speed ratings equal to or higher than the speed rating of
the sander. DO NOT use cloth backed sanding pads.
5.1.3. Connect the air supply to the sander and press the trigger, check that the sander is working correctly.
5.2. OPERATION.
5.2.1. Always use a sanding pad appropriate for the job.
5.2.2. Work progressively from coarse grades to ner grades.
8 DO NOT go from coarse to ne in one step as it may be dicult to remove swirl marks left by the coarser grit.
8 DO NOT apply excessive pressure, let the sander do the work for you.
5.2.3. Start the sander and bring the sanding disc to the work surface slowly and evenly. Move the sander back and forth in overlapping
motions.
5.2.4. Remove the sanding disc from the work surface before stopping the sander. Regularly check the sanding pad for wear and always
change a cracked or damaged pad.
8 DO NOT allow the sander to run in “idle rotation” for an extended period of time as this will shorten the life of the bearings.
