4.2.
Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the saw and will invalidate your warranty.
4.3.
Clean compressor air inlet filter weekly.
4.4.
Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). The minimum hose diameter should
be 1/4" I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
4.5.
Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for wear and make certain that all connections are secure.
4.6.
Couplings Vibration may cause failure if a quick-change coupling is connected directly to the air saw. To overcome this, connect a
leader hose (Sealey Part No. AH2R) to the saw. A quick-change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line
recoil hose.

WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply the safety instructions.
5.1.
SAW OPERATION
5.1.1.
Loosen the two set screws (fig.3C) and adjust the work guide (fig.3D) to suit the job. Tighten the set screws.
5.1.2.
Ensure that your workpiece is properly secured and, if necessary, marked out.
5.1.3.
Start the saw by pushing the safety catch forward (fig.3F), then pushing the trigger (fig.3G) down
5.1.4.
DO NOT attempt to start the saw with the stationary blade in contact with the workpiece. Start the saw and bring the moving blade
onto the workpiece.
5.1.5.
The maximum blade speed may be regulated by turning the valve screw (fig.3H).
5.1.6.
If the cut ends within the sheet material allow the blade to come to a stop before removing the saw from the workpiece.
5.1.7.
If the cut starts within the bounds of the material cut a starter slot by hand.
5.1.8.
DO NOT allow the saw to run without load for any length of time as this will damage the bearings.
5.2.
TO CHANGE THE BLADE
5.2.1.
Disconnect the saw from the airline.
5.2.2.
Undo the screw and open the hinged chuck cover (fig.3A).
5.2.3.
Slightly loosen one of the two blade retaining set screws (fig.3B) and remove the blade (fig.3E).
5.2.4.
Slide new blade into place and tighten the loosened set screw (fig.3B). Check that blade is fitted with the cutting edge towards the
chuck cover (fig.3A).
5.2.5.
Close chuck cover and retain with screw.
6. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Disconnect saw from air supply before changing the blade, servicing or performing maintenance.
6.1.
Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
6.2.
Unless the air supply system includes an oiler, lubricate the air saw daily with a few drops of air tool oil, dripped into the air inlet
before use (use Sealey part no. ATO/500 or ATO1000).
6.3.
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 line. Incorrect size or type of hose connectors. To remedy, check
the air supply and follow instructions in Section 4.
b) Grit or gum deposits in the saw 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 saw 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.
6.4.
For a full service contact your local Sealey service agent.
6.5.
When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean saw and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.
