Ensure that blades and files are clamped tightly to the air tool.
Check moving parts alignment on a regular basis.
Ensure the workpiece is secure before operating the saw. Never hold a workpiece by hand. Use a vice or clamps.
WARNING! Ensure correct air pressure is maintained and not exceeded. The recommended pressure is 90psi.
Keep the air hose away from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Check the air hose for wear before each use and ensure that all connections are secure.
Prolonged exposure to vibration from this tool poses a health risk. It is the employer’s/owner’s responsibility to correctly assess the
hazard and issue guidelines for safe periods of use and offer suitable protective equipment.

PREPARATION

4.1. AIR SUPPLY
4.1.1. Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig.1.
4.1.2. Ensure Air saw trigger is in the “off” position before connecting to the air supply.
4.1.3. You will require air pressure of 90psi, and airflow 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.
4.1.4. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the airline will damage the tool.
4.1.5. Clean air inlet filter weekly.
4.1.6. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 meters).
4.1.7. The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
4.1.8. Keep the hose away from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Check the hose for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.
4.2. COUPLINGS
4.2.1. Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the tool.
4.2.2. 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 airline recoil hose (fig.2).

OPERATION

WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply the safety instructions in Section 1.
WARNING! Disconnect from air supply before changing the blades or files.
5.1. USING THE SAW
5.1.1. Loosen the blade set screws, slide the saw blade into place and tighten the blade screws.
5.1.2. Ensure that the workpiece is properly secured and, if necessary, marked out.
5.1.3. Adjust the depth of cut by sliding the saw blade guide to the required position and securing by tightening the blade guide screw.
5.1.4. Start the saw by pushing the safety catch forward, then pushing the trigger down and bringing the moving blade onto the workpiece.
DO NOT attempt to start the saw with the stationary blade in contact with the workpiece.
5.1.5. If the cut starts within the bounds of the material, cut a starter slot by handsaw.
5.1.6. If the cut ends within the material, allow the blade to come to a stop before removing the saw from the workpiece.
DO NOT allow the air tool to run free, whilst not being applied to the material, for any length of time, as this will damage the bearings.
5.2. USING THE FILE
5.2.1. Select a file attachment appropriate for the job, loosen the blade screws, slide the file into place and tighten the blade screws.
5.2.2. Ensure that the workpiece is properly secured and, if necessary, marked out.
5.2.3. Start the saw by pushing the safety catch forward, then pushing the trigger down, and bring the file to the work surface evenly and slowly.
DO NOT attempt to start the air tool with the stationary file in contact with the workpiece.
5.2.4. Move the file back and forth in overlapping areas.
5.2.5. Remove the file from the work surface before stopping the air tool.
DO NOT allow the air tool to run free, whilst not being applied to the material, for any length of time, as this will damage the bearings.
5.2.6. Regularly check the file attachments for wear, always change them if cracked or damaged.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Disconnect saw from air supply before changing the blade or file, servicing, or performing maintenance. Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorized parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
6.1. 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 (Sealey part no’s. ATO500S (500ml) or ATO1000S (1 Litre)).
6.2. Loss of power or erratic action may be due to the following:
a) Excessive drain on the airline. Moisture or restriction in the airline. Incorrect size or type of hose connectors. To remedy this, check the
air supply and follow instructions in Section 4.
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 aw out with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE No 10 oil and kerosene. Allow drying before use. If you continue to experience problems, contact your local Sealey service agent.
6.3. For full service, contact your local Sealey service agent.
6.4. When not in use, disconnect from the air supply, clean the saw, and store it in a safe, dry, childproof location.
WARNING! – Risk of Hand Arm Vibration Injury.
This tool may cause Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome if its use is not managed adequately.
This tool is subject to the vibration testing section of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. This tool is to be operated in accordance with these instructions.
This tool has been tested in accordance with EN ISO 28927-2:2009 & BS EN ISO 15744:2008.
Declaration and verification of Vibration Emission figures are in accordance with EN 12096:1997
Measured vibration emission value (a): 12.2 m/s²
Uncertainty value(k): 1.85 m/s²
Please note that the application of the tool to a sole specialist task may produce a different average vibration emission. 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 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 program 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.
