Operating instructions 5. maintenance – Sealey SA17/S User Manual
Page 3

WARNING! Disconnect the polisher 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.
5.1. If the air supply system does not include an oiler, lubricate the air polisher daily with a few drops of good
grade air tool oil such as Sealey ATO/500 or ATO1000, dripped into the air inlet before use.
5.2. Clean the polisher 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 instructions in Section 3.
b) Grit or gum deposits in the polisher 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 polisher with gum
solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE No 10 oil and kerosene. Allow to dry before use.
If you continue to experience problems, contact your local Sealey service agent.
5.4. When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.

5. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply the safety instructions before use.
4.1. Assembly
4.1.1. Your SA17/S comes with one handle, two spanners, and a backing disc.
4.1.2. The handle may be screwed into the left- or right-hand side of the head.
4.1.3. Remove the disc locking nut from the polisher spindle. Screw the disc onto the spindle and secure with
the locking nut. Use spanners supplied to hold the hub and tighten the lock nut.
4.1.4. Fix appropriate polishing pad to the backing disc. Use only pads with speed ratings equal to, or, higher
than the speed rating of the polisher e.g Sealey Lambswool Bonnet Part No.ER/MS/66
4.1.5. Connect air supply to polisher and press the control valve lever to check that the polisher is working
correctly.
4.2. Operating
The air flow may be regulated by turning the control valve screw on top of the handle.
Always use a polishing pad appropriate for the job.
DO NOT apply excessive pressure, let the polisher do the work for you. Start the polisher and bring the
pad to the the work surface evenly and slowly. Move the polisher back and forth in overlapping areas.
Remove the pad from the work surface before stopping the polisher. Regularly check the pad for wear,
always change a damaged pad.
DO NOT allow the polisher to run in “idle rotation” for an extended period of time as this will reduce bearing life.
