INSTRUCTIONS FOR:
AIR NEEDLE SCALER
COMPOSITE PISTOL TYPE
MODEL No: SA660
Original Language Version SA660 Issue: 1 - 31/08/11

3.1. Assembly
3.1.1. Screw the scaling head fully onto the body as indicated above in fig.1.
3.2. Air Supply
WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi while operating the
needle scaler. 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.
3.2.1. Ensure needle scaler trigger is not depressed before connecting to the air supply.
3.2.2. You will require an air pressure of 90psi, and a minimum air flow of 12cfm.
3.2.3. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the needle scaler.
3.2.4. Clean air inlet filter weekly. Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig.2.
3.2.5. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8
metres). The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” internal diameter and fittings must
have compatible dimensions.
3.2.6. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain
that all connections are secure.
3.3. Couplings
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the needle
scaler. To overcome this, connect a leader hose to the needle scaler (Sealey ref: AH2R or
AH2R/38). A quick change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air
line recoil hose. See fig.2 & fig.3.
WARNING! Disconnect needle scaler from air supply before 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. To replace the needles, remove the large circlip from the back opening of the scaling head.
Carefully ease the plastic retainer out of the sleeve against the spring pressure. Remove the
needle supporter and needles. Remove the old needles from the needle supporter and
replace them with a new set. Reassemble the scaling head in the reverse order of that
described above. Screw the reassembled scaling head back onto the pistol body.
5.2. Lubricate the needle scaler daily with a few drops of Sealey air tool oil dripped into the air
inlet.
5.3. Clean the needle scaler after use.
5.4. 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 needle scaler may also reduce performance. Flush the needle
scaler out with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE10 oil and paraffin. Allow to dry
before use.
5.5. For a full service contact your local Sealey service agent.
5.6. When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean needle scaler and store in a safe, dry,
childproof location.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply Section 1 safety instructions.
4.1. Connect the needle scaler to the air supply as described in Section 3.
4.2. To start the scaler, depress the trigger.
DO NOT allow the needle scaler to free run for an extended period of time as this will
shorten its life.
