1.2. HAND ARM VIBRATION
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): 1.1m/s²
Uncertainty value (k): 0.13m/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 specic evaluation of the vibration emission is conducted prior to commencing with a specialist task.
Ahealth 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 sufcient 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.

1.3. HEALTH SURVEILLANCE
We recommend a programme of health surveillance to detect early symptoms of vibration injury so that management procedures can
be modied accordingly.
1.4. 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 sufcient supply of clothing (including gloves) to enable the operator to remain warm
and dry and maintain good blood circulation in ngers 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.
1.5. LEAD PAINT
WARNING! Paint once contained lead as a traditional ingredient.
The dust from the removal of such paint is toxic if ingested/inhaled and must, be avoided. The following actions must be taken before
using the sander on a surface that you suspect may contain lead paint.
User must determine potential hazard relating to age of paint to be removed (Modern paints do not have lead content).
▲DANGER! Keep all persons and pets away from the work area. The following persons are particularly vulnerable to the effects of lead
paint dust: Expectant women, babies and children.
We recommend personal protection by using the following safety items:
a) Paint Spray Respirator (Sealey ref. SSP1699)
b) PE Coated Hooded Coverall (Sealey ref.SSP265-L).
c) Latex Gloves (Sealey ref.SSP24).
Take adequate measures to contain the paint dust, flakes and scrapings.
Continue to wear safety equipment and thoroughly clean all areas when task is complete. Ensure paint waste is disposed of in sealed
bags or containers and according to local Authority guidelines.

FIG.1 FIG.2
4.2. AIR SUPPLY RECOMMENDED HOOK-UP (FIG.1)
4.2.1. Ensure the sander air valve (or throttle) is in the “off” position before connecting to the air supply.
4.2.2. You will require an air pressure between 70-90psi, and an air flow of 7cfm.
WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi. 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.
4.2.3. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the sander and will invalidate your warranty.
4.2.4. Clean air filter weekly.
4.2.5. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).
4.2.6. The minimum hose size should be 1/4”. I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
4.2.7. Keep hoses away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.
4.3. COUPLINGS
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the air sander. To overcome this, connect a leader
hose to the sander. A quick change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose. See gs.1 & 2.
4.4. BELT PREPARATION
To ensure full exibility, and to prolong working life, the belt must be “bedded in”, ref (4.5.2).
4.4.1. Fit new belt ensuring the direction of travel is correct, and the belt join is NOT on the nose roller.
4.5. TENSION BELT
4.5.1. Operate the tool without a load applied at half speed for around 10 seconds, then increase to full speed for a further 10 seconds.
4.5.2. Finally, at a slow operating speed, using a piece of scrap material, apply light pressure to the belt where it runs over the “shoe”.
4.5.3. Increase the operating speed steadily to maximum for a few seconds, then stop.

5. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure that you have read and understood the safety instructions in Section 1.
5.1. Loosening clamp bolt (fig.3.1. on the top of sander) allows the angle between the grip and the belt to be altered to suit the job in hand.
After adjustment tighten the clamp bolt.
5.2. Once connected to the air supply the sander is started by squeezing the trigger (7).
6. REMOVE AND REPLACE BELT
6.1. To remove and replace the sanding belt push the idle pulley (4) towards the drive pulley (6) against spring pressure. The pulley bracket
(3) will retract and lock allowing removal/fitting of the belt. When the new belt is in position release the pulley bracket by pushing in and
holding the idle pulley, then press and hold the tension bar (5) whilst releasing the pressure on the idle pulley.
6.2. The tracking of the belt can be altered by adjusting cross head screw (2).
7. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Disconnect sander 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.
7.1. If the air supply system does not have an oiler lubricate the sander daily with a few drops of a good grade air tool oil, such as Sealey
ATO/500 or ATO/1000, dripped into the air inlet (g.3.8) before use.
7.2. Clean the sander after use and change belt when required.
7.3. 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 4.
b) Grit or gum deposits in the sander may also reduce performance. If your model has an air lter (located in the area of the air inlet),
remove the lter and clean it. Flush the sander out 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.
7.4. For a full service contact your local Sealey service agent.
