PREPARATION
AIR SUPPLY
Ensure that the tool air valve is in the “Off” position before connecting to
the air supply.
WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90 psi (6.2
bar) while operating the tool. Too high an air pressure and/or unclean air
will shorten the life of the tool due to excessive wear and may be dangerous
causing damage and/or personal injury.
Drain the compressor air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the
tool.
Clean the compressor air inlet filter weekly. Recommended hook-up is shown in
fig. 1.
Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses
(over 8 meters). The minimum hose bore should be 3/8” and fittings must have
the same inside dimensions.
Keep the hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and
make certain that all connections are secure. COUPLINGS
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly
to the tool.
To overcome this, connect a leader hose to the tool. A quick change coupling
may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air
line recoil hose. See figs. 1 & 2.
OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply the safety
instructions.
Connect the tool to the air supply.
To start the tool, hold firmly and squeeze the throttle lever. The clamp will
move down, punching a hole/forming a flange, as required.
Release the lever and the clamp will rise allowing the tool to be positioned
for the next operation.
After use, disconnect the tool from the air supply, clean and store in a safe,
dry, childproof location.
MAINTENANCE
Note: Numbers/letters in brackets refer to those on the parts diagram.
WARNING! Disconnect the tool from the air supply before changing
accessories, servicing or performing maintenance. Replace or repair damaged
parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorized parts may be dangerous and will
invalidate the warranty.
If the compressed air system does not have an integral oiler then lubricate
the tool daily with a few drops of Sealy air tool oil dripped into the air
inlet.
Regularly check oil, and top-up if necessary, via the oil plug (13). Use Sealy
Air Tool Oil, Part No. ATO500S.
Clean the tool after use.
Loss of power or erratic action may be due to the following:
- 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 4.
- 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 out the tool with gum solvent oil or
an equal mixture of SAE 10 oil and paraffin. Allow to dry before use.
For a full service contact your local Sealy service agent.
To remove and replace the punch (6) and/or die (3) proceed as follows:
Remove screws (7) and slide off cover plate (8).
Slacken set screw (2) and strike rear edge of clamp (1) with a soft-headed
hammer in order to unscrew it from the shaft of the hydraulic piston (31).
If necessary the shaft may be locked by removing the oil plug (13) and
inserting a suitable rod into a hole in the shaft. Fully unscrew the clamp (1)
and anvil (9) assembly from the shaft.
Separate the anvil (9) and the clamp (1) to replace the punch (6) and/or die.
The die (3) is a push fit in the clamp (1) and can be tapped out via the waste
bore (A). Push/tap in the replacement.
Reassemble the anvil (9), clamp (1) and the replacement punch (6) and screw
onto the shaft. Tap with a soft-headed hammer to ensure tightness and lock
with the set screw (2).
Refit the cover plate (8) and retain with screws (7).
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): 0.8 m/s²
Uncertainty value (k): 0.57 m/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 programmed 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.
