Recommended hook-up is shown in fig.1.

Ensure that the polisher air valve (or throttle) is in the “off” position before connecting to the air supply.

You will require an air pressure between 70-90psi, and an air flow according to the specification in section 3.
WarNiNG!
ensure that the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi while operating the polisher.
4.1.
Too high an air pressure and/or unclean air will result in excessive wear and may be dangerous, causing damage and/or personal
injury.
4.2.
drain the compressor air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the polisher and 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).
4.5.
The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
4.6.
Keep hoses away from heat, oil and sharp edges. check hoses for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.
4.7.
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the air polisher. To overcome this, connect a leader
hose to the polisher. A quick change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose. See figs. 1 & 2.
5. operaTioN
WarNiNG!
ensure that you read, understand and apply the safety instructions before use.
5.1.
assembly
5.1.1.
Your SA17/S comes with one handle, two spanners, and a backing disc.
5.1.2.
the handle may be screwed into the left- or right-hand side of the head.
5.1.3.
remove the disc locking nut from the polisher spindle. screw the disc onto the spindle and secure with the locking nut. use spanners
supplied to hold the hub and tighten the lock nut.
5.1.4.
fix appropriate polishing pad to the backing disc. use only pads with speed ratings equal to, or, higher than the speed rating of the
polisher e.g Sealey Lambswool Bonnet Part No.ER/MS/66
5.1.5.
connect air supply to polisher and press the control valve lever to check that the polisher is working correctly.
5.2.
operation
5.2.1.
The air flow may be regulated by turning the control valve screw on top of the handle.
5.2.2.
Always use a polishing pad appropriate for the job.
8
Do NoT
apply excessive pressure, let the polisher do the work for you. start the polisher and bring the pad to the the work surface
evenly and slowly. move the polisher back and forth in overlapping areas. remove the pad from the work surface before stopping the
polisher. regularly check the pad for wear, always change a damaged pad.
8
Do NoT
allow the polisher to run in “idle rotation” for an extended period of time as this will reduce bearing life.
6. maiNTeNaNce
WarNiNG!
disconnect the polisher 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.
6.1.
if the air supply system does not include an oiler, lubricate the air polisher daily with a few drops of good grade air tool oil such as
Sealey ATO/500 or ATO1000, dripped into the air inlet before use.
6.2.
clean the polisher after use and change pads when required.
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 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 polisher 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 out the polisher with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of sAe no 10
oil and kerosene. Allow to dry before use.
6.4.
if you continue to experience problems, contact your local sealey service agent.
6.5.
When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.
