Sealey SA35 - Manual (Page 2)

4.1. Unpack the product and check contents against the parts listed below. If there is anything damaged or
missing contact your supplier immediately.
Contents: a) SA35.V2 Belt Sander.
b) 3 x Sanding Belt
c) 2 x Hex. Key
 WARNING! Ensure that you have read and understood the safety instructions in Section 1.
4.2. Loosening clamp bolt (fig.3.1. on the top of sander) allows the angle between the grip and the belt to be
altered to suit the job in hand. After adjustment retighten the clamp bolt.
4.3. Once connected to the air supply the sander is started by squeezing the trigger (2).
4.4. To remove and replace the sanding belt push the idle pulley (3) towards the drive pulley (4) against
spring pressure. The pulley bracket (5) will retract and lock allowing removal/fitting of the belt. When the
new belt is in position release the pulley bracket by pushing in and holding the idle pulley, then press and
hold the tension bar (6) whilst releasing the pressure on the idle pulley.
4.5. The tracking of the belt can be altered by adjusted cross head screw (7).
3.1. Air Supply (Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig.1).
3.1.1. Ensure the sander air valve (or throttle) is in the "off" position before connecting to the air supply.
3.1.2. You will require an air pressure between 70-90psi, and an air flow of 7cfm.
3.1.3.  WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi.
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.
3.1.4. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the sander and will invalidate your warranty.
3.1.5. Clean compressor air inlet filter weekly.
3.1.6. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).
The minimum hose size should be 1/4” I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
3.1.7. Keep hoses away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear, and make certain that all
connections are secure.
3.2. Couplings.
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. See figs.1 & 2.
1.2. LEAD PAINT WARNING!
Paint once contained lead as a traditional ingredient. The dust from the removal of such paint is toxic if
ingested/inhaled and must, therefore, be avoided. The following actions 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 persons are
particularly vulnerable to the effects of lead paint dust: Expectant women, babies and children.
3. We recommend personal protection by using the following safety items:
a) Paint Spray Respirator (Sealey ref. SSP1699)
b) PE Coated Hooded Coverall (Sealey ref. SSP265-L).
c) Latex Gloves (Sealey ref.SSP24).
4. Take adequate measures to contain the paint dust, flakes and scrapings.
5. Continue to wear safety equipment as in (3) above and thoroughly clean all areas when task is
complete. Ensure paint waste is disposed of in sealed bags or containers and according to local
Authority guidelines.
