1.1. 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 grinder 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 people and pets away from the working area. The following 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 SSP1699)
b) PE Coated Hooded Coverall (Our ref SSP267).
c) Latex Gloves (Our ref SSP24).
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 work is complete. Ensure paint waste is
disposed of in sealed bags or containers.

4. AIR SUPPLY
4.1. Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig.1.
4.2.  Ensurethegrinderairvalve(orthrottle)isinthe“o󰀨”positionbeforeconnectingtotheairsupply.
4.3. You will require an air pressure of 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 grinder.
4.4. Too high an air pressure and unclean air will cause excessive wear, and may be dangerous, causing damage and/or personal
injury.
4.5. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the grinder and invalidate your warranty.
4.6. Clean air inlet filter weekly.
4.7. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).
4.8. The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
4.9. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.
4.10. Couplings
4.10.1. Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the air grinder. To overcome this, connect a leader hose
- Sealey model number AH2R or AH2R/38 - to the grinder. A quick change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to
 theairlinerecoilhose.Seegs.1&2.
5. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply the safety instructions before use.
5.1. Assembly: - The SA151.V2 comes with a handle, a spanner and a hex key.
5.1.1. The handle screws into the left or right-hand side of the head.
5.1.2. Removethedisclockinghexboltfromthegrinderspindle.Usethespannersuppliedtoholdthelowerangeandloosen/tightenthe
hex bolt.
5.1.3. Fitthegrindingdisc(notsupplied)tothespindleinbetweenthetwoangesandsecurewiththehexbolt.Useonlydiscswithspeed
ratings equal to, or higher than the speed rating of the grinder.
5.1.4. Connect air supply to grinder. Push safety button (adjacent to trigger) with thumb and squeeze the control valve lever to check that the
grinder is working correctly.
5.2. Operating: -
8DO NOT apply excessive pressure, let the grinder do the work for you. Start the grinder and bring the disc to the the work
surface evenly and slowly. Move the grinder back and forth in overlapping areas. Remove the grinding disc from the work surface
before stopping the grinder. Regularly check the condition of the disc and always change if worn, cracked or otherwise damaged.
8DO NOT free-run the grinder off the workpiece for extended periods as this will shorten the life of the bearings.
6. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Disconnect grinder from air supply before changing disc, servicing or performing maintenance.
6.1. Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
6.2. Lubricate the grinder daily with a few drops of good grade air tool oil, such as Sealey ATO1000S, dripped into the air inlet before
use or dispensed automatically through an air system oiler, such as Sealey model SA2001/L.
6.3. Clean the grinder after use and change the disc when worn or damaged.
6.4. Loss of power or erratic action may be due to the following:

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): 7.71m/s²
Uncertainty value (k): 0.76m/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.
