WARNING!
Disconnect sander 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.
5.1. If air supply does not have an oiler, lubricate the air sander daily (before and after use), with a few drops of good quality air tool oil, Sealey ATO/500 or
ATO1000, dripped into the air inlet, to prolong life of bearings.
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 supply. 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 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.
5.5. When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean sander and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.

DO NOT
apply excessive pressure, let the sander do the work for you. Start the sander and bring the sanding disc to the the work surface smoothly and
slowly. Move the sander back and forth in overlapping areas. Remove the sanding disc from the work surface before stopping the sander. Regularly check
the sanding pad for wear, always changed a cracked or damaged pad.
