WArninG! leAd pAint
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 (our ref ssP16en)
b) Pe coated Hooded coverall (our ref ssP266) c) latex Gloves (our ref ssP24).

WArninG! – risk of Hand Arm Vibration injury.
this tool may cause Hand Arm Vibration syndrome if its use is not managed adequately.
this tool is subject to the vibration testing section of the machinery directive 2006/42/ec.
this tool is to be operated in accordance with these instructions.
measured vibration emission value (a): ............1.11 m/s²
uncertainty value (k): ............................0.6 m/s²
Please note that the application of the tool to a sole specialist task may produce a different average vibration emission. We recommend that a
specific evaluation of the vibration emission is conducted prior to commencing with a specialist task.
A health and safety assessment by the user (or employer) will need to be carried out to determine the suitable duration of use for each tool.
nB: stated Vibration emission values are type-test values and are intended to be typical.
Whilst in use, the actual value will vary considerably from and depend on many factors.
such factors include; the operator, the task and the inserted tool or consumable.
nB: ensure that the length of leader hoses is sufficient to allow unrestricted use, as this also helps to reduce vibration.
the state of maintenance of the tool itself is also an important factor, a poorly maintained tool will also increase the risk of Hand Arm Vibration
syndrome.
Health surveillance.
We recommend a programme of health surveillance to detect early symptoms of vibration injury so that management procedures can be modified
accordingly.
Personal protective equipment.
We are not aware of any personal protective equipment (PPe) that provides protection against vibration injury that may result from the
uncontrolled use of this tool. We recommend a sufficient supply of clothing (including gloves) to enable the operator to remain warm and dry and
maintain good blood circulation in fingers etc. Please note that the most effective protection is prevention, please refer to the correct use and
maintenance section in these instructions. Guidance relating to the management of hand arm vibration can be found on the Hsc website
www.hse.gov.uk - Hand-Arm Vibration at Work.

4. prepArinG for use
4.1. Air supply
recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig 1.
4.1.1. ensure the sander air valve (or throttle) is in the “off” 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 90 psi 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 invalidate your warranty.
4.1.4. clean air inlet filter weekly.
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. fig 1 & 2.

WArninG! ensure that you have read and understood and
then apply the safety instructions in section 1.
5.2. loosening the slider bolt on the underside of the sander allows
the slider to move closer to/further away from the idle pulley,
tightening the belt to suit the job in hand. After adjustment
tighten the slider bolt.
5.3. once connected to the air supply the sander is started by
squeezing the trigger (e).
5.4. to remove and replace the sanding belt:
5.4.1. ensure air-line is detached from the unit.
5.4.2. release metal clip (f) retaining the pulley cover (A).
5.4.3. Press and hold spring-loaded latch (B), whilst pulling the idle
pulley (c) inwards, towards the drive pulley (d). once compressed, release the latch (B), ensuring it is engaged.
5.4.4. replace/fit new sanding belt, close the pulley cover and release the spring loaded latch (B), being careful of fingers or lose items.
5.4.5. the tracking of the belt can be altered by the adjusting bolt closest to the idle pulley on the opposite side.
5.5. belt preparation
To ensure full exibility, and to prolong working life, the belt must be “bedded in”
5.5.1. fit new belt ensuring the direction of travel is correct, and the belt join is not on the nose roller. tension belt.
5.5.2. operate the tool without a load applied at half speed for around 10 seconds, then increase to full speed for a further 10 seconds.
5.5.3. finally, at a slow operating speed, using a piece of scrap material, apply light pressure to the belt where it runs over the “shoe”.
increase the operating speed steadily to maximum for a few seconds, then stop.

6. mAintenAnce
WArninG! disconnect sander from air supply before changing accessories, servicing or performing maintenance. replace or repair
damaged parts. use genuine parts only. unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
6.1. if the system does not have an oiler, lubricate the air sander daily with a few drops of good grade air tool oil such as sealey
Ato/500 or Ato1000, dripped into the air inlet (8) before use.
6.2. clean the sander after use and change belts when required.
6.3. loss of power or erratic action may be due to the following:
a) excessive drain on the air line. moisture or restriction in the air pipe. incorrect size or type of hose connectors. to remedy check
the air supply and follow instructions in chapter 4.
b) Grit or gum deposits in the sander may also reduce performance. if your model has an air strainer (located in the area of the air
inlet), remove the strainer and clean it. flush the sander out with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of sAe no 10 oil and
kerosene. Allow to dry before use. if you continue to experience problems, contact your local sealey service agent.
6.4. for a full service contact your local sealey service agent.
6.5. When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean sander and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.
