6. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Disconnect tool from the air supply before changing accessories, servicing or performing maintenance. Replace or repair
damaged parts.
DO NOT sharpen worn blades, replace with new. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the
8
warranty.
Note: Numbers in brackets refer to item numbers in the parts diagram.
6.1.
Before replacing blades, note carefully the orientation of cutting blade edges. It is possible to fit the blades incorrectly. On removal be
aware of the two spacers, one between outer blades and one at the pivot point of the central blade, these are critical to the tool (fig.3).
6.2.
To replace the blades (31, 32 and 33), unscrew the three socket head cap screws (36) and slide the cutter housing (30) off the clamp
nut (27). Remove the three socket head cap screws (32) that secure the blades (31, 32 and 33) and remove the blades. Fit new
blades, ensuring the Bushings (spacers) (34) are correctly positioned and refit the socket head cap screws. Smear silicone grease or
similar on to the outer race of the ball journal fig.4 and slide the cutter housing onto the eccentric mechanism housing, tighten the cap
screw nearest the trigger. Tighten the other two socket head cap screws, the spacers ensure the blades will not be clamped.
6.3.
If the air line does not have a lubricator, lubricate the tool daily with a few drops of Sealey air tool oil dripped into the air inlet.
6.4.
Clean the tool after use with a dry cloth.
6.5.
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 connector. To remedy, check the
air supply and follow the instructions in section 4.
b) Grit or gum deposits in the tool may also reduce performance. Flush the tool out with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE
No 10 oil and paraffin. Allow to dry before use.
6.6.
For a full service contact your local Sealey service agent.
6.7.
When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean tool and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.
Smear silicone grease
on outer race.
This tool may cause Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome if its use is not managed adequately.
This tool is subject to the vibration testing section of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
This tool is to be operated in accordance with these instructions.
Measured vibration emission value (a): 4.0m/s²
Uncertainty value (k): 0.13m/s²
Please note that the application of the tool to a sole specialist task may produce a different average vibration emission. We recommend that a
specific evaluation of the vibration emission is conducted prior to commencing with a specialist task.
A health and safety assessment by the user (or employer) will need to be carried out to determine the suitable duration of use for each tool.
NB: Stated Vibration Emission values are type-test values and are intended to be typical.
Whilst in use, the actual value will vary considerably from and depend on many factors.
Such factors include; the operator, the task and the inserted tool or consumable.
NB: ensure that the length of leader hoses is sufficient to allow unrestricted use, as this also helps to reduce vibration.
The state of maintenance of the tool itself is also an important factor, a poorly maintained tool will also increase the risk of Hand Arm Vibration
Syndrome.
Health surveillance.
We recommend a programme of health surveillance to detect early symptoms of vibration injury so that management procedures can be modified
accordingly.
