Sealey SA355 - Manual (Page 2)

2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATION
3.1. Air Supply
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 15cfm.

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.
3.1.3. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the sander and will invalidate your warranty.
3.1.4. Clean compressor air inlet filter weekly. Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig.1.
3.1.5. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).
The minimum hose size should be 1/4” internal diameter with fittings of compatible dimensions.
3.1.6. 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 (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 figs.1 & 2.
3. PREPARING FOR USE
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. SSP267).
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 according to local
regulations.
