5. PREPARATION
5.1. AIR SUPPLY
5.1.1. Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig.1.
5.1.2. Ensure Air saw trigger is in “off” position before connecting to the air supply.
5.1.3. You will require an air pressure of 90psi, and an air flow according to specification.
WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi 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.
5.1.4. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the tool.
5.1.5. Clean air inlet filter weekly.
5.1.6. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).
5.1.7. The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
5.1.8. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.
5.2. COUPLINGS
5.2.1. Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the tool.
5.2.2. 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 (g.2).
6. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply the safety instructions.
NOTE: Numbers in brackets refer to item numbers in the Parts Diagram.
6.1. Loosen the two set screws (24) and adjust, or change, the work guide to suit the job. Tighten the set screws.
6.2. Ensure that your workpiece is properly secured and, if necessary, marked out.
6.3. Start the saw and bring the moving blade onto the workpiece. DO NOT attempt to start the saw with the stationary blade in contact
with the workpiece.
6.4. The maximum blade speed may be regulated by turning the valve screw (1).
6.5. If the cut ends within the sheet material, allow the blade to come to a stop before removing the saw from the workpiece.
6.6. If the cut starts within the bounds of the material cut a starter slot by hand.
8 DO NOT allow the saw to run without load for any length of time as this will damage the bearings.
6.7. TO CHANGE THE BLADE:
WARNING! Disconnect the saw from the air line.
6.7.1. Undo the screw (38) and open the hinged chuck cover (26).
6.7.2. Slightly loosen one of the two blade retaining set screws (30) and remove the blade.
6.7.3. Slide new blade into place and tighten the loosened set screw (30). Check that blade is fitted with the cutting edge towards the chuck
cover (26).
6.7.4. Close chuck cover (26) and retain with screw (38).
7. MAINTENANCE
WARNING!Disconnect saw from air supply before changing the blade, servicing or performing maintenance.
Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
7.1. Unless the air supply system includes an oiler, lubricate the air saw daily with a few drops of air tool oil, dripped into the air inlet
before use (use Sealey part no. ATO/500 or ATO1000).
7.2. 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 line. Incorrect size or type of hose connectors. To remedy, check
the air supply and follow instructions in Section 5.
b) Grit or gum deposits in the saw 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 saw out with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE No 10 oil and
kerosene. Allow to dry before use.
7.3. If you continue to experience problems, contact your local Sealey service agent.
7.4. For a full service contact your local Sealey service agent.
7.5. When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean saw and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.

Important: No Liability is accepted for incorrect use of this product.
Warranty: Guarantee is 24 months from purchase date, proof of which is required for any claim.
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.
Personal protective equipment.
We are not aware of any personal protective equipment (PPE) that provides protection against vibration injury that may result from the
uncontrolled use of this tool. We recommend a sufficient supply of clothing (including gloves) to enable the operator to remain warm and
dry and maintain good blood circulation in fingers etc. Please note that the most effective protection is prevention, please refer to the
Correct Use and Maintenance section in these instructions. Guidance relating to the management of hand arm vibration can be found on
the HSC website www.hse.gov.uk - Hand-Arm Vibration at Work.
