sealey’s Generation or G3 series of air tools represents some of the best design innovations in air tools of
recent date. The tools feature contoured, soft-grip handle and housing which help reduce the effects of vibration
and chill – major contributors to circulatory and nerve problems such as white finger. The tools also include
exhaust systems designed to reduce noise levels by baffling the noise or directing it away from the operator’s
environment. Most of the tools include integral and adjustable air control valves for precise control of output. The
air wrenches are, pound for pound, amongst the most powerful machines we have seen in the market and the
materials and manufacturing techniques used in the production of all the G3 series will ensure long and reliable
service.
3.1
air supply
Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig 1.
3.1.1 Ensure tool air valve (or trigger) is in "off" position before connecting to the air supply.
3.1.2 You will require an air pressure of 90psi, and an air flow according to specification.
3.1.3
WarninG!
Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90 psi while operating the tool. Too
high an air pressure and unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear, and may be
dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury.
3.1.4 Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the tool.
3.1.5 Clean air inlet filter weekly.
3.1.6 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.
3.1.7 Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain that all
connections are secure.
3.2 couplings.
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the tool.
To overcome this, connect a leader hose to the tool. A quick change coupling may then be used to
connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose. see fig 1 & 2.

this tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is inadequately managed.
recommended Measures to reduce risk of hand-arm vibration syndrome:
This tool should not be used by an individual regularly for more than
218
minutes in any 8 hour period.
This duration of use should be reduced if the individual is exposed to hand-arm vibration from other sources.
