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.
5.1. If the air supply does not have an oiler, lubricate the 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.
5.2. Clean the sander after use and change pad 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 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 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 sander and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.
4. ASSEMbLY & OPERATION
5. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions before use.
4.1. Assembly
4.1.1. Lift front retaining spring arm and insert the sanding paper under the front of the spring.
Replace retaining arm and the paper will be held in place. Attach the rear of the paper in the same manner.
4.1.2. Connect air supply to sander, press the control valve lever and check that the sander is working correctly.
4.2. Operating
Always use sanding paper appropriate for the job. Work progressively from coarse grades to finer
grades.
DO NOT go from coarse to fine in one step as it may be difficult to remove swirl marks left by
the coarse grit.
DO NOT apply excessive pressure, let the sander do the work for you. Start the sander and bring it to
the work surface evenly and slowly. Move the sander back and forth in overlapping areas. Remove the
sander from the work surface before turning off. Regularly check the sanding paper for wear and always
change if cracked or damaged.
DO NOT allow sander to run in “idle” for an extended period of time as this will shorten the life of the
bearings.
