Sealey GSA70 - Manual (Page 3)

p 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 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.
5.2. Clean the sander 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 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. Allow to dry before use.
If problems continue, contact your local Sealey service agent.
5.4. For a full service contact your local Sealey service agent.
5.5. When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean sander and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.

p WarninG! Ensure you read, understand and apply the safety
instructions in Section 1 before use.
4.1. Assembly
4.1.1. To fit the backing pad you must first lock the rotating head using the locking
pin. Rotate the head until the locking hole is visible through the
aperture in the outer shroud. Insert the pin as shown in fig.3-1. Screw
the backing pad into the threaded hole in the head (see fig.3-2) and
tighten. Remove the locking pin. Use only discs with speed ratings
equal to or higher than the speed rating of the sander. Do not use
cloth backed sanding discs.
4.1.2. Connect air supply to sander, press the control valve lever and check
that the sander is working correctly.
4.1.3. The air flow may be regulated by adjusting the regulator valve in the
back of the handle.
4.2. Operating
4.2.1. The sander is designed to provide a combined “rotary” and “random
orbit” action. Always use a grit 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 the sanding disc to the work surface
evenly and slowly. Move the sander back and forth in overlapping areas. Remove the sanding disc from
the work surface before stopping the sander. Regularly check the sanding disc for wear, always change if
cracked or damaged. Do not allow sander to run in “idle rotation” for an extended period of time, as
this will reduce bearing life.
