4. PREPARATION
4.1. Air Supply. (Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig.1).
4.1.1. Ensure wrench air valve (or trigger) is in the “off” position before connecting to the air supply.
4.1.2. An air pressure of 90psi is required and an air flow according to specification.
WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90 psi while operating the wrench. Too high an air pressure and/or
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 compressor air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the wrench.
4.1.4. Clean compressor 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 sameinside dimensions.
4.1.6. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose 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 wrench. To overcome this, connect a leader hose to
the wrench. A quick change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose. See g 1 & 2.
5. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions before use.
5.1. Fit the required socket to the wrench.
5.2. Connect the wrench to the air hose as indicated in section 4.
5.3. Select wrench direction by rotating the switch on the head of the wrench (g.3).
5.4. Place the socket over the subject nut or bolt and depress the trigger to operate
the wrench.
5.5. To change wrench direction, release trigger and rotate the switch on the head of
the wrench (g.3).
8DO NOT use any additional force upon the wrench in order to remove a nut or bolt, it is
possible to break the head by using excessive force. Use penetrating oil and a spanner to
crack the xing.
8DO NOT allow the wrench to free run for an extended period of time, as this will reduce bearing life.
6. MAINTENANCE
  WARNING!Disconnect wrench 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 air system does not have an oiler, lubricate the air wrench daily with a few drops of Sealey air tool oil dripped into the
air inlet to prolong its life.
6.2. Clean the wrench after use. DO NOT use worn or damaged sockets.
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 section 4.
b) Grit or gum deposits in the wrench 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 wrench out with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE No.10 oil and
parafn. Allow to dry before use.
6.4. For a full service contact your local Sealey service agent.
6.5. When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean wrench and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.

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): 2.5m/s²
Uncertainty value (k): 0.8 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 HSE website
www.hse.gov.uk - Hand-Arm Vibration at Work.
