p
4.1.
Assembly.
4.1.1. Screw in the backing pad into the spindle nut (fig.3). Tighten using the supplied spanner.
4.1.2. Apply the appropriate sanding pad to the backing pad. Use only pads with speed ratings equal to or
higher than the speed rating of the sander. DO NOT use cloth backed sanding pads.
4.1.3. Connect the air supply to the sander and press the trigger, check that the sander is working correctly.
4.1.4. The air flow may be regulated by turning the air control valve on the side of the handle (fig.3).
4.2.
Operation.
4.2.1. Always use a sanding pad appropriate for the job.
4.2.2. Work progressively from coarse grades to finer grades.
DO NOT go from coarse to fine in one step as it
7
may be difficult to remove swirl marks left by the
coarser grit.
DO NOT apply excessive pressure, let the
7
sander do the work for you.
4.2.3. Start the sander and bring the sanding disc to
the work surface slowly and evenly. Move the
sander back and forth in overlapping motions.
4.2.4. Remove the sanding disc from the work surface
before stopping the sander. Regularly check the
sanding pad for wear and always change a
cracked or damaged pad.
DO NOT allow the sander to run in "idle rotation"
7
for an extended period of time as this will
shorten the life of the bearings.
5. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Disconnect sander from air supply before changing accessories, servicing or performing
p
maintenance. Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Non-authorised parts may be
dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
5.1.
Lubricate the air sander daily with a few drops of good grade air tool oil such as Sealey ATO500S or
ATO1000S, 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 you continue to experience problems, contact your local Sealey service agent.
5.4.
For a full service contact your local Sealey service agent.
