INSTRUCTIONS FOR
SANDER/POLISHER Ø180MM VARIABLE SPEED
1200W/230V
MODEL NO: MS875PS
Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard, this product will, if used according to these instructions,
and properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.
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. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.
1. SAFETY
1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! It is the user’s responsibility to check the following:
Check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure that they are safe before using. Inspect power supply leads, plugs and
all electrical connections for wear and damage. Sealey recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all electrical
products. You may obtain an RCD by contacting your local Sealey dealer.
If the sander/polisher is used in the course of business duties, it must be maintained in a safe condition and routinely PAT (Portable
Appliance Test) tested.
Electrical safety information: It is important that the following information is read and understood.
1.1.1. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply.
1.1.2. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure that they are secure.
1.1.3. Important: Ensure that the voltage rating on the appliance suits the power supply to be used and that the plug is tted with the
correct fuse - see fuse rating in these instructions.
8DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
8DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable. Remove the plug from the socket by maintaining a rm grip on the plug.
8DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Ensure that any faulty item is repaired or replaced immediately by a
qualied electrician.
1.1.4. This product is tted with a BS1363/A 13 Amp 3 pin plug.
If the cable or plug is damaged during use, switch off the electricity supply and remove from use.
Replace a damaged plug with a BS1363/A 13 Amp 3 pin plug. If in doubt contact a qualied electrician.
Class II products are wired with live (brown) and neutral (blue) only are marked with the Class II symbol;
A) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
B) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
C) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires and ensure that all wires have been
correctly connected.
Ensure that the cable outer sheath extends inside the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.
Sealey recommend that repairs are carried out by a qualied electrician.
1.1.5. Cable extension reels. When a cable extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection.
A cable reel with an RCD fitted is recommended since any product which is plugged into the cable reel will
be protected. The section of the cores of the cable is important. We suggest 1.5mm2section as a minimum but to be absolutely sure that
the capacity of the cable reel is suitable for this product and for others that may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the
use of 2.5mm2section cable.
NOTE: The MS875PS has an electronic speed control, which requires a ‘clean’ and stable power supply. Normal 230V mains supply
is suitable. However, the output from many petrol driven generators may not be suitable for this tool. Inverter type power
supplies provide a much more stable output, and should present no problem.
1.2. GENERAL SAFETY
WARNING! Ensure Health & Safety, local authority, and general workshop practice regulations are adhered to when using this
equipment.
9Familiarise yourself with the applications, limitations and hazards associated with this product.
WARNING! Disconnect from the mains power and ensure the disc is at a complete standstill before changing accessories, servicing
or performing any maintenance.
9Maintain the sander/polisher in good condition (use an authorised service agent).
9Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
WARNING! Keep all guards and holding screws in place, tight and in good working order. Check regularly for damaged parts. A guard
or any other part that is damaged must be repaired/replaced before the tool is next used.
9Locate sander/polisher in a suitable working area, keep area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials.
9Ensure there is adequate lighting.
9Keep the sander/polisher clean for best and safest performance.

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 machine as a sander:
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 persons 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. B) PE Coated Hooded Coverall. C) Latex Gloves.
4. Take adequate measures to contain paint dust, akes and scrapings. Wear safety equipment, as in (3) above, and thoroughly clean
all areas when task is complete.

Note: As the rubber support disc is exible, when sanding it should not be used head on, but at an angle of approximately 10 to 20
degrees.
6. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Before attempting any maintenance ensure the unit is unplugged from the mains power supply.
6.1. Keep the machine clean and dry. Do not use abrasives or solvents to clean the unit. Ensure all external head screws are tight.

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): ..........8.16 m/s²
Uncertainty value (k):...........................1.5 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 HSC website
www.hse.gov.uk - Hand-Arm Vibration at Work.
