1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 that all portable
electrical appliances, if used on business premises, are
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 are
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 a BS 1363/A 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 in
diagram. 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 suitably rated supply is
available. We recommend that you discuss the installation of
an industrial round pin plug and socket with your electrician.
IMPORTANT! The use of extension leads to connect these
compressors to the mains is not recommended as the
resulting voltage drop reduces motor, and therefore pump
performance.
1.2. GENERAL SAFETY
3 Familiarise yourself with the application and limitations of the
compressor.
3 Ensure the compressor is in good order and condition before
use. If in any doubt do not use the unit and contact an
electrician/service agent.
WARNING! Compressor must only be serviced by an
authorised agent. DO NOT tamper with, or attempt to
adjust, pressure switch or safety valve.
3 Before moving, or maintaining the compressor ensure it is
unplugged from the mains supply and that the air tank
pressure has been vented.
3 Maintain the compressor in good condition and replace any
damaged or worn parts. Use genuine parts only.
Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate
your warranty.
RECOMMENDED
FUSE RATING: 13 AMPS
SAC0610E.V2 Issue No: 1 - 02/12/13

3 Read the instructions relating to any accessory to be used
with this compressor. Ensure the safe working pressure of any
air appliance used exceeds compressors output pressure. If
using a spray gun, check that the area selected for spraying is
provided with an air change/ventilation system.
3 Ensure the air supply valve is turned off before disconnecting
the air supply hose.
3 To move the compressor use the handle only. Maintain unit’s
centre of gravity when lifting. DO NOT attempt to lift or move
the compressor by any other means.
3 Use the compressor in a well ventilated area and ensure it is
placed on a firm surface.
3 Keep tools and other items away from the compressor when
it is in use, and keep area clean and clear of unnecessary
items.
3 Ensure the air hose is not tangled, twisted or pinched.
3 Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the
working area.
7 DO NOT disassemble 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.
7 DO NOT operate 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.
7 DO NOT use this product to perform a task for which it has
not been designed.
7 DO NOT deface the certification plate attached to the
compressor tank.
7 DO NOT cover the compressor or restrict air flow around the
unit whilst operating.
q DANGER! DO NOT direct the output jet of air towards people
or animals.
7 DO NOT operate the compressor without an air filter.
7 DO NOT allow anyone to operate the compressor unless they
have received full instructions.
WARNING! The air tank is a pressure vessel and the following
safety measures apply:
7 DO NOT tamper with the safety valve, DO NOT modify or alter
the tank in any way and DO NOT strap anything to the tank.
7 DO NOT subject the tank to impact, vibration or to heat and
7 DO NOT allow contact with abrasives or corrosives.
3 Drain condensation from tank daily and inspect inside walls
for corrosion every three months and have a detailed tank
inspection carried out annually. The tank shell must not fall
below the certified thickness at any point.
WARNING! If an electrical fuse blows, ensure it is replaced
with an identical fuse type and rating.
3 When not in use, store the compressor carefully in a safe,
dry, childproof location.

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 10° either transversely or longitudinally,
and should be in a position that allows good air circulation
around the unit.
3.4. IMPORTANT! Check the oil provided is up to the centre
of sight glass (fig.2B). If not remove the oil filler/
breather from the pump (fig.2A) and add oil, 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.3C) into inlet port.
3.7. Regulator assembly. See fig.4. 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.
