INSTRUCTIONS FOR:
AIR ANGLE GRINDER 100mm
(COMPOSITE HOUSING)
MODEL No: SA152.V2
SA152.V2 Issue No.1 20/07/09

3.1 AIR SUPPLY
Recommended hook-up is shown in fig.1.
WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90 psi while operating the grinder.
Too high an air pressure and/or unclean air will cause excessive wear, and may be dangerous, causing
damage and/or personal injury.
3.1.1 Ensure that the grinder air valve (or throttle) is in the "off" position before connecting to the air supply.
3.1.2 You will require an air pressure between 70-90psi, and an air flow according to the specification above.
3.1.3 Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the grinder and invalidate your warranty.
3.1.4 Clean air inlet filter weekly.
3.1.5 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.
3.1.6 Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear, and make certain that all
connections are secure.
3.2 COUPLINGS
3.2.1 Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the grinder. To prevent 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 figs. 1 & 2 on next page.
WARNING! Disconnect the grinder from air supply before changing the disc, servicing or
performing maintenance.Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised
parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
5.1 Lubricate the grinder daily with a few drops of good grade air tool oil, such as Sealey ATO/500 or
ATO/1000, dripped into the air inlet before use or dispensed automatically through an air system oiler,
such as Sealey model SA100L or SA2001/L.
5.2 Clean the grinder after use and change the disc when worn or damaged.
5.3 Loss of power or erratic action may be due to the following:
a) Excessive drain on the air supply. Moisture or restriction in the air line. Incorrect size or type of
hose connectors. To remedy, check the air supply and follow instructions in Section 3.
b) Grit or gum deposits in the grinder may also reduce performance. Flush the grinder 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.
5.4 When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean grinder and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.

1.2. 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: Pregnant 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 that paint waste is disposed of in sealed bags or containers according to local
regulations.
WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply the
safety instructions before use.
4.1 ASSEMBLY
4.1.1 The SA152 comes with a handle and a spanner.
4.1.2 The handle screws into the left-hand side of the head.
4.1.3 Remove the disc locking flange nut from the grinder spindle.
Use the spindle stop button and the spanner supplied to hold
the spindle and loosen/tighten the lock nut.
4.1.4 Fit the grinding disc over the spindle (with the protruding side downwards) and retain it with the flange
nut. Use only discs with speed ratings equal to, or higher than, the speed rating of the grinder.
4.1.5 Connect air supply to grinder and squeeze the control valve lever to check that the grinder is working
correctly.
4.2 OPERATING
DO 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.
DO NOT run the grinder off the workpiece for extended periods. This will shorten the life of the bearings.
