The tracking of the belt can be altered by adjusting the two recessed
hex socket screws on the nose roller bracket (see fig.4). Turning the
screw ‘A’ in either direction will alter the lateral position of the the nose
roller within its bracket. Turning the screw ‘B’ in either direction will alter
the lateral position of the complete nose roller bracket in relation to the
body of the sander.
4.6.
To adjust the track of the belt, disconnect the sander from the air supply
and remove the belt as described in paragraph 4.4. Loosen the lock nut
holding screw ‘B’ in position so that screw ‘B’ can be easily adjusted using the hex key provided. Replace
the belt, reconnect the air supply and operate the sander, observing the track of the belt. Adjust the track
of the belt by turning the screws ‘A’ and ‘B’ until the belt is running true. When the belt is running true,
switch off, disconnect from the air supply and remove the belt. Secure screw ‘B’ into position with the lock
nut and replace the belt.
WARNING!
Disconnect sander from air supply before changing accessories, servicing or performing
maintenance.

Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be
dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
5.1.
If the air supply system does not have an oiler, lubricate the sander daily with a few drops of a good
grade air tool oil, such as Sealey ATO500S, dripped into the air inlet (fig.3.7) before use.
5.2.
Clean the sander after use and change belt 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 line. 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 filter
(located in the area of the air inlet), remove the filter and clean it. Flush the sander 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.
