2. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
3.1. Air Supply
Recommended hook-up is shown in fig. 1.
3.1.1. Ensure the air valve (or throttle) is in the "off" position before connecting to the air supply.
3.1.2. You will require an air pressure and an air flow (cfm) according to the specification listed above.
3.1.3. !WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed the pressure quoted while
operating the sander. Too high an air pressure and/or unclean air will shorten the sander life
due to excessive wear and may be dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury.
3.1.4. Drain the compressor air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the sander.
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 bore.
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 fit coupling is connected directly
to the air tool. To overcome this, connect a leader hose to the tool.
A quick fit coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the
air line recoil hose. See figs. 1 & 2.
3.3. Dust Collection
3.3.1. SA801 only
The dust outlet tube of the sander must be connected to a dust-free system in accordance with
COSHH and any other regulations that may apply to the work area. For information on dust-free
systems, contact your local Sealey dealer.
!WARNING! Disconnect sander from the air supply before changing accessories, servicing or
performing maintenance. Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only.
Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
5.1. If the air supply does not have an oiler then every 3-4 hours of operation place a few drops of
air tool oil (Sealey No. ATO/500 or ATO/1000) into the air inlet to prolong tool life.
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 the instructions in Section 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 10 oil and kerosene.
Allow to dry before use.
c) If you continue to experience problems, contact your local Sealey service agent.
The MA sanders are suitable for use on car bodies, woodwork and general flat surfaces. The sanders
are intended for dry sanding only. DO NOT use with water.

6. DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY
LEAD PAINT WARNING!
Paint once contained lead as a traditional ingredient. Contact with the toxic dust from the
removal of such paint 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. 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 work area. The following are
particularly vulnerable to the effects of lead paint dust: Pregnant women, babies and children.
3. We recommend personal protection by using the following safety items:
a) Paint Spray Respirator (Our ref SSP16EN)
b) PE Coated Hooded Coverall (Our ref SSP266). c) Latex Gloves (Our ref SSP24).
4. Take adequate measures to contain the paint dust, flakes and scrapings.
5. Continue to wear safety equipment (3) and thoroughly clean all areas when task is complete.
6. Seal paint waste in bags or containers for disposal according to local regulations.
4.1. Attach the appropriate sanding disc to the sanding pad.
4.2. Connect the sander to the air supply and the dust free system (SA801). Press the control
valve (On/Off) lever and check that the unit is working correctly.
Note: The sander is designed for dry use only. DO NOT use with water or any other liquids.
