LEAD PAINT WARNING!

IMPORTANT! 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).
   • DANGER! Keep all persons and pets away from the work area.

2. 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 Respirators.
   b) PE Coated Hooded Coverall.
   c) Latex Gloves.

4. Take adequate measures to contain the paint dust, flakes and scrapings.

5. Continue to wear safety equipment as in section 1.1.3 and thoroughly clean all areas when task is complete.

6. Seal paint waste in bags or containers for disposal according to local regulations.

INTRODUCTION

Polycarbonate outer housing with soft rubber handgrip reducing hand-chill and vibration with an overall weight of 0.54kg. Features adjustable air regulator for additional control and exhaust muffler to reduce noise emission. Supplied with hook-and-loop pad.

SPECIFICATION

AIR ASSEMBLY

AIR SUPPLY

1. Ensure the sander air valve (or throttle is in the “Off” position before connecting to the air supply.

2. You will require an air pressure and an air flow according to the specification above.
   • WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi while operating the sander.

3. 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.

4. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the sander and will invalidate your warranty.

5. Clean air inlet filter weekly. Recommended hook-up procedure (fig.1).

6. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).

7. The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.

8. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear and make certain that all connections are secure

COUPLINGS

1. Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the air sander. To overcome this, connect a leader hose to the sander. A quick change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose (figs.1 & 2).

OPERATION

Part numbers refer to attached Parts List

USE OF TOOL

• WARNING! Disconnect from the air supply before carrying out any of the adjustments below.

1. Before each use of tool make sure that the pneumatic system is not damaged. Damaged parts should be replaced before use.
2. Dry the pneumatic system before use.

FIT NEW PAD

1. Push supplied spanner between pad and sander and turn pad until nut is held. Undo nut anticlockwise. Spin on new pad and tighten clockwise with spanner.

FIT SANDING DISC

1. Disc should be placed concentrically. Apply an appropriate sanding disc to the backing pad. DO NOT use cloth backed sanding pads.
   IMPORTANT! Before attachment of the sanding discs you should check it for damage, DO NOT use damaged sanding discs.

OPERATION OF THE SANDER

1. Depress valve lever to start the sander and allow the disk to reach its full speed, before use.
2. Speed is adjustable using the wheel below the lever.

MAINTENANCE

• 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.

1. If the air supply does not have an oiler, lubricate the air 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.

2. Clean the sander after use and change pads when required.

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 4.
   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 out with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE No 10 oil and kerosene.

4. Allow to dry before use.

5. If problems continue, contact your local Sealey service agent. For a full service contact your local Sealey service agent.

6. When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean sander and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.

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): ………….5.24 m/s²
Uncertainty value (k):……………………………………..1.01 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 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 HSE website www.hse.gov.uk – Hand-Arm Vibration at Work.
