1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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. PLEASE KEEP INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.

! WARNING! Ensure Health & Safety, local authority, and general workshop practice regulations are adhered to when using this equipment.

!WARNING! Disconnect from air supply (and dust-free system if connected) before changing accessories, servicing or carrying out

maintenance.

#Maintain the sander in good condition (use an authorised service agent).

#Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

#Use the sander in a suitable work area and keep area clean, tidy and free from unrelated materials. Ensure that there is adequate lighting.

#Before each use check abrasive disc for condition. If worn or damaged replace immediately.

!WARNING! Always wear approved eye or face protection when operating the sander.

#If dust is generated, use face, dust or respiratory protection in accordance with COSHH regulations.

#Depending on the task, sander noise level may exceed 85dB, in which case wear safety ear defenders.

#Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery and contain and/or tie back long hair.

#Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.

#Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.

#Ensure the workpiece is correctly secured before operating the sander. Never hold workpiece by hand.

#Check the workpiece to ensure there are no protruding nails, screws, stones, etc.

#Avoid unintentional starting.

!WARNING! Ensure that the correct air pressure is maintained and not exceeded.

#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.

#Prolonged exposure to vibration from these tools poses a health risk. It is the owner’s responsibility to correctly

assess the potential hazard, issue guidelines for safe periods of use and offer suitable protective equipment.

$DO NOT use the sander for a task it is not designed to perform.

$DO NOT operate sander if any parts are damaged or missing as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.

!WARNING! DO NOT cut, grind, saw or sand any materials containing asbestos.

$DO NOT carry the sander by the hose, or yank the hose from the air supply.

$DO NOT get the sander wet or use in damp or wet locations.

$DO NOT use the sander with water. These models are dry sanders only.

$DO NOT operate sander when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.

$DO NOT leave the sander operating unattended.

$DO NOT carry the sander with your hand on the power lever.

$DO NOT direct air from the air hose at yourself or others.

#When not in use disconnect from air supply (and dust-free system if connected) and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.

! WARNING! LEAD PAINT. 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.

Risk of Hand Arm Vibration Injury

Air Operated Sanders, models SA800.V3 & SA801.V3, when operated in accordance with these instructions and tested in accordance with

EN 28662-2: 1994 results in the following vibration emission declared in accordance with BS EN12096: 1996.

Measured vibration emission value: . . . . . .1.9m/s2

Uncertainty: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .0.76m/s2

These values are suitable for comparison with emission levels of other tools that have been subject to the same test. This tool may

cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is inadequately managed.

Recommended Measures to reduce risk of hand-arm vibration syndrome:

This item represents a low Hand-Arm Vibration risk to users. The calculated maximum usage period exceeds 8 hours. We recommend

appropriate safety equipment is utilised and regular breaks for the operator are employed to reduce any residual risk of fatigue or repetitive

strain injury.

4.1 Attach the appropriate sanding disc to the sanding pad.

4.2 Connect the sander to the air supply and - in the case of the SA801 - the dust-free

system.

4.3 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.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

SA800.V3, SA801.V3 - 1 - 020806

3.1. Air Supply: (Recommended hook-up is shown in Fig. 3)

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.

!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.

3.1.3. Drain the compressor air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the sander.

3.1.4. Clean air inlet filter weekly.

3.1.5. 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.

3.1.6. Keep hoses away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear and make

certain that all connections are secure.

3.2. Couplings

3.2.1 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. 3 and 4.

3.3 Dust Collection

3.3.1. The SA801 sander dust outlet tube 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.

2.1 Introduction

2.1.1 Both sanders have a polycarbonated outer housing with soft rubber handgrip to

reduce hand-chill and vibration. They have an overall weight of 0.7kg, and

feature adjustable air regulator for additional control and an exhaust muffler to

reduce noise emission. They also have a hook and loop pad.

2.1.2 Model SA801 has a built-in leader hose, which helps to prolong the life of

the air couplings. It also has a dust-free outlet for use with a centralised dust

extraction system. Refer to Fig.1 (SA800) and Fig. 2 (SA801).

!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.
