3 Familiarise yourself with the application and limitations of the compressor.
3 Ensure that the compressor is in good order and condition before use. If in any doubt do

not use. Contact an electrician/service agent.

 WARNING! the compressor must be serviced by an authorised agent only. DO NOT

tamper with, or attempt to adjust, the pressure switch or the safety valve.
3 Before moving, or maintaining the compressor ensure that it is unplugged from the mains
supply and that the air tank pressure has been vented.
3 Only use recommended parts and accessories. To use unauthorised items may be
dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
3 Read the instructions regarding any accessory used with the compressor. Ensure that
the safe working pressure of any air appliance used exceeds the output pressure of the
compressor.

3 Ensure that the air supply valve is turned off before disconnecting the air supply hose.
3 Keep tools and other items away from the compressor when it is in use and keep the

area clean and free of unrelated items.

3 Ensure that the air hose is not tangled, twisted or pinched.
3 Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
7 DO NOT dis-assemble compressor for any reason. The unit must be checked by qualified personnel only.
7 DO NOT use the compressor outdoors, or in damp, or wet, locations and DO NOT operate it within the vicinity of flammable liquids, gases or solids.
7 DO NOT touch compressor cylinder, cylinder head or pipe from head to tank as these may be hot and will remain so for some time after shutdown.
7 DO NOT attempt to move the compressor by pulling the air supply hose. Only move the compressor by the handle.

Use the compressor in a well ventilated area and ensure that it is placed on a firm, level surface.

1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

 WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other
connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices.
A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a Residual Current
Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply which is not protected
by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer.
You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.

1.1.1. The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested by a qualified
electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.

1.1.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of those appliances
and the safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.

1.1.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply. See 1.1.1. and 1.1.2.
and use a Portable Appliance Tester.

1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.

1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all
connections to ensure that none is loose.

1.1.6. Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply
to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse - see fuse rating at right.

1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.

1.1.8. DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.

1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty
item repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. When an ASTA/BS approved UK
3 pin plug is damaged, cut the cable just above the plug and dispose of the plug safely.
Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (UK only).
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.

b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
d) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected, that the cable outer insulation
extends beyond the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
Double insulated products, which are always marked with this symbol , are fitted with live (brown) and neutral (blue) wires only.

To rewire, connect the wires as indicated above - DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.

1.1.10. Products which require more than 13 amps are supplied without a plug. In this case you must contact a qualified electrician to ensure
that a 30 amp supply is available. We recommend that you discuss the installation of an industrial round pin plug and socket with your electrician.

1.1.11. If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is preferred since any appliance
plugged into it will be protected. The section of the cores in the cable is important and should be at least 1.5mm2, but to be
absolutely sure that the capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for others which may be used in the other output sockets, we
recommend the use of 2.5mm2 section cable.

2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATION

Compact and portable, this compressor is suitable for use with the Sealey range of air nailers and air brushes and is fitted with twin gauges to
display both the tank pressure and the working pressure. Fitted with 4 anti-vibration suction feet for added stability when in use. Complies fully
with current European standards.

3. PREPARATION & ASSEMBLY

4. TOOL SELECTION

 WARNING! The compressor is supplied without any lubricating oil in the pump - see para. 3.4.

3.1. Remove compressor from packaging and inspect for any shortages or damage. If anything is
found to be missing or damaged contact your supplier.

3.2. Confirm that the mains voltage corresponds with the voltage shown on the compressor data plate.

3.3. The compressor should be installed on a flat surface, or one that does not exceed 15° either
transversely or longitudinally, and should be in a position that allows good air circulation around
the unit.

3.4. IMPORTANT! Remove the oil filler/breather from the pump (fig.2-A) and add the oil provided
until the level is up to the centre of sight glass (fig. 2-B). Replace the filler/breather.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RUN THE COMPRESSOR UNTIL THIS HAS BEEN DONE.

3.5 Ensure that the air vent in the oil filler/breather is free from debris. If the air vent is
blocked, pressure can build up in the crankcase causing damage to the compressor and
possible personal injury.

3.6. Screw air filter (fig.3.C) into inlet port.

3.7 Regulator assembly. ( See fig.1-A ) Remove any packing material from the connector attached
to the pressure switch. Check that the connector thread has a factory applied sealant to prevent
leaks. Thread the regulator assembly onto the connector making sure that it is properly aligned to
avoid cross threading. The assembly should rotate approximately 6 to 7 revolutions. The two
gauges should be facing in the same direction. Do not overtighten.

 IMPORTANT
Take care when selecting tools for use with the compressor. Air tool manufacturers
normally express the volume of air required to operate a tool in cubic feet per minute (cfm).
This refers to free air delivered by the compressor (‘air out’) which varies according to the
pressure setting. Do not confuse this with the compressor displacement which is the air
taken in by the compressor (‘air in’). ‘Air out’ is always less than ‘air in’ - due to losses
within the compressor - and so it is important that, before choosing equipment, you study
the ‘Free Air Delivery’ figures shown in the Specification Chart above.
