1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 Follow all workshop health & safety rules, regulations, and conditions when using tool.
 WARNING! Disconnect from air supply before changing cutting disc or servicing.
 Maintain tool in good condition and replace any damaged or worn parts. Use genuine parts only.
Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
WARNING! Check correct air pressure is maintained and not exceeded. We recommended 90psi.
Keep air hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check air hose for wear before each use and
ensure that all connections are secure.
WARNING! Before each use check cutting disc is secure, and the disc is not worn or damaged. If
damaged replace immediately.
Ensure replacement discs are not damaged in any way such as cracks, deformations or splinters etc.
Also check the mounting washer to ensure it is not deformed, burred or notched. Damaged washer
must not be used as it will cause irregular pressure on the disc which may cause the disc to break. DO
NOT over tighten a disc and never tamper with a disc in order to adapt it to a different size holder.
Always use the correct disc suitable for the material being cut. Ensure the maximum speed
pecification of the cutting disc is higher than that indicated on the machine data plate.
WARNING! Keep disc guard in place, tight and in good working order. The safety guard is a
mandatory fitting where tool is used in premises covered by the Health & Safety at Work Act.
WARNING! Always wear approved eye and face protection when operating the tool.
Use breathing protection in accordance with COSHH regulations if fumes or dust pose a hazard.
Wear ear defenders and gloves if necessary.
Keep hands and body clear of the workpiece when operating the tool.
 Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
Secure unstable workpiece with a clamp, vice or other adequate holding device.
 Keep children and non essential persons away from the working area.
 Avoid subjecting disc to excessive strain, always ease disc down against workpiece (a harsh impact
may break the disc). Do not over-press in order to cut workpiece. Maintain a controlled adequate
progression, which will emit a minimum of sparks.
DO NOT hold the workpiece by hand. Use clamps or a vice to secure the workpiece.
 DO NOT use the tool for a task it is not designed to perform.
WARNING! DO NOT use tool if damaged or faulty. Contact your local service agent.
 DO NOT use tool unless you have been instructed in its use by a qualified person.

 DO NOT direct air from the air hose at yourself or others.
WARNING! DO NOT cut any materials containing asbestos.
 DO NOT switch the tool on whilst the disc is in contact with the workpiece.
 DO NOT allow workpiece to over heat. Periodically cool by immersing the workpiece in water.
 DO NOT use tool where there are flammable liquids, solids or gases such as paint solvents,
including waste wiping or cleaning rags etc as any sparks generated may be dangerous.
 DO NOT touch the workpiece close to the cut as it will be very hot. Allow to cool.
The workpiece may also be very sharp.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR:
AIR CUT-OFF TOOL
MODEL No: SA25.V3
Original Language Version SA25.V3 Issue: 2 - 27/10/09

3.1. AIR SUPPLY ( Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig 1.)
3.1.1. Ensure tool air valve (or trigger) is in "off" position before connecting to the air supply.
3.1.2. You will require an air pressure of 90psi, and an air flow according to specification.
3.1.3. WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90 psi while operating the
tool. Too high an air pressure and unclean air will shorten the product life due to
excessive wear, and may be dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury.
3.1.4. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the tool.
3.1.5. Clean air inlet filter weekly.
3.1.6. 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.
3.1.7. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain
that all connections are secure.
3.2. COUPLINGS
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the tool.
To overcome this, connect a leader hose to the tool. A quick change coupling may
then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose. See fig 1 & 2.

 WARNING! Disconnect tool 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.
5.1. Lubricate the air tool daily with a few drops of Sealey air tool oil dripped into the air
inlet to prolong its life.
5.2. Clean the tool after use.
5.3. 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
chapter 3.
b) Grit or gum deposits in the tool 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 tool out with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE No 10 oil and
paraffin. Allow to dry before use.
5.4. For a full service contact your local Sealey service agent.

4.2.1. Connect the tool to the air supply.
4.2.2. To start the tool, hold firmly and push the trigger locking lever forward whilst depressing
trigger.
4.2.3. The disc must be running at its maximum speed before attempting to cut the workpiece.
4.2.4. Slowly and smoothly bring the cutting disc toward the workpiece (avoid jerky movements).
4.2.5. Exert adequate pressure on the tool to allow cutting according to the type and size of the
material you are working with. Avoid subjecting disc to excessive strain, always hold tool
firmly and ease disc against workpiece (a harsh impact may break the disc). Maintain a
controlled adequate progression.
DO NOT allow tool to free run for an extended period of time as this will shorten its bearing
life.
