1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS.
USE THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE
AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. PLEASE KEEP INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.
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 suitably rated 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 cable core
section 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. If
extension reel is to be used outdoors, ensure it is marked for
outdoor use.

3. PREPARATION
 WARNING! If an electrical fuse blows, ensure it is
replaced with an identical fuse type and rating.
 DO NOT eat or smoke whilst spraying.
 DO NOT spray near naked flames.
 DO NOT leave the compressor running unattended.
 DO NOT operate the compressor whilst under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or other intoxicating medication.
 DO NOT carry the compressor while operating the air brush.
 DO NOT cover the compressor or restrict air flow around the
machine whilst operating.
 DO NOT allow anyone to operate the compressor unless they
have received full instructions.
3.1 Remove compressor from packaging and inspect for any
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 operated in a position that allows
good air circulation around the unit.
4. OPERATION
fig.1
Original Language Version AB900.V3 Issue: 1 - 05/04/11
WARNING! Ensure that you have read, understood and
apply Section 1 safety instructions.
4.1 Situate the compressor in a convenient position for the air
brush work to be undertaken. Ensure that it is resting on a
stable and level surface that will not be affected by the minor
vibration of the unit. Do not rest the compressor on sheets of
paper or card etc. Ensure the rubber feet are in direct contact
with the work surface.
4.2 Do not operate the unit in an enclosed space and ensure that
there is adequate air space around the unit.
4.3 Attach the air brush hose to the 1/8" BSP air outlet.
4.4 Plug the mains lead into a convenient socket but do not
switch on until you have fully prepared the medium to be
sprayed, the air brush and the item/surface to be sprayed.
4.5 Switch on the unit. The compressor will then provide a
constant air flow to the air brush. The compressor motor will
cut-in and out automatically to maintain the required pressure
as determined by the user setting on the regulator.
4.6 Refer to the air brush instructions for the correct operating
pressure. To adjust the pressure, first pull up the regulator
knob to unlock it. To increase the pressure, turn the knob
clockwise. To decrease the pressure, turn the knob
anti-clockwise. Monitor the result on the pressure gauge.
When correct pressure has been obtained, push down the
regulator knob to lock it. (See below).
4.7 Refer to the manufacturers instructions with your air brush for
the correct spraying technique. Do not leave the compressor
running for any length of time with the air brush attached but
not being used. If there is a pause in your work switch the
compressor off.
4.8 If the operating note of the compressor changes, there may
be a blockage within the air brush or the air hose may be
pinched. The unit should be switched off immediately and the
source of the blockage investigated and eliminated.
4.9 When the task is complete use the compressor to blow a
suitable cleaning solvent through your air brush.
4.9 Switch the unit off. Operate the air brush to relieve any

pressure left in the hose. Disconnect the air brush from the
compressor.
4.10 During and immediately after operation, the finned pump head
may be hot and should not be touched. If the unit must be
moved, lift it by the handle only. Allow the unit to cool before
storing it.
4.11 Should there appear to be any loss of efficiency when
spraying, ensure first that the air brush is scrupulously clean
and functioning properly. If the air brush is satisfactory then
refer to the trouble shooting guide for the compressor.
