2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATION
3.1. Air Supply
Recommended hook-up is shown in fig.1.
3.1.1. Ensure the sander 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 of 5cfm.
3.1.3. WARNING! Ensure that the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90 psi while operating the
sander. 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.
3.1.4. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the sander and will invalidate your warranty.
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 and fittings internal diameter should be ¼” internal diameter.
3.1.7. Keep hoses away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear and make certain that all
connections are secure.
3.2. Couplings
Vibration may cause failure if a quick connect coupling is connected directly to the air sander. To
overcome this, connect a leader hose (Sealey Part No. AH2R) to the sander. A quick connect coupling
may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose. See fig.1 & fig.2.
3. PREPARING SANDER FOR USE
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
sander on a surface that you suspect may contain lead paint.
1.2.1. User must determine potential hazard relating to age of paint to be removed. (Modern paints do not
have lead content).
1.2.2. DANGER! Keep all persons and pets away from the work area. The following are particularly
vulnerable to the effects of lead paint dust: Pregnant women, babies and children.
1.2.3. We recommend personal protection by using the following safety items:
a) Paint Spray Respirator (Our ref SSP1604)
b) General Purpose Hooded Coveralls (Our ref SSP267L/XL).
c) Latex Gloves (Our ref SSP24).
1.2.4. Take adequate measures to contain the paint dust, flakes and scrapings.
1.2.5. Continue to wear safety equipment as in paragraph 1.2.3. and thoroughly clean all areas when task is
complete. Ensure paint waste is disposed of in sealed bags or containers according to local
regulations.

 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.
5.1. If the air supply does not have an oiler, lubricate the sander 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.
5.2. Clean the sander after use and change pads when required.
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 Section 3.
b) Grit or gum deposits in the sander 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 sander with gum
solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE 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 sander from the air supply, clean and store in a safe, dry, childproof
location.
4. ASSEMBLY & OPERATION
5. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply safety instructions before use.
4.1. Assembly
4.1.1. Open front paper clamp and insert the end of the sanding paper. Release clamp lever to hold paper in
place. Repeat with rear clamp, ensuring that the sanding paper is tight against the sanding pad.
4.1.2. Connect air supply to sander, press the trigger and check that the sander is working correctly.
4.2. Operation
4.2.1. Always use a sanding paper appropriate for the job. Work progressively from coarse grades to finer
grades. DO NOT go from coarse to fine in one step as it may be difficult to remove swirl marks left by
the coarse grit.
4.2.2. DO NOT apply excessive pressure, let the sander do the work for you. Start the sander and bring it to
the work surface evenly and slowly. Move the sander back and forth in overlapping areas. Remove the
sander from the work surface before stopping the sander. Regularly check the sanding paper for wear
and always change if cracked or damaged.
4.2.3. DO NOT allow sander to run in “idle” for an extended period of time as this will shorten bearing life.

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): .........8.27m/s²
Uncertainty value (k):..........................0.8m/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.
