This compressor is designed for oil-free air delivery, suitable for small low-pressure applications like airbrushing. Important: These units have a 25% duty cycle. For every period of use, a rest period three times that length is required (e.g., 2.5 minutes of use requires 7.5 minutes of rest). Always ensure the compressor is on a firm, level surface and that ventilation is not restricted.
Product Description
The Sealey 1.5HP Oil-Free Air Compressor is available in three models: SAC00015, SAC00615, and SAC02415. The units feature a simple construction for low maintenance. Models SAC00615 and SAC02415 include a receiver tank, pressure cut-out switch, and air regulator with gauge. Model SAC02415 is equipped with wheels and a handle for portability.
Assembly
Upon unpacking, inspect the unit for damage. If wheels or feet are not pre-fitted, attach them using the supplied nuts, bolts, and washers. Ensure the mains voltage matches the data plate on the compressor before connecting to power.
Operation
Locate the compressor in a well-ventilated area. Connect the air tool to the outlet. Plug into the mains and switch on. For SAC00615 and SAC02415, adjust the output pressure using the regulator tap and lock it with the locking ring. When finished, switch off, disconnect the air tool, and vent remaining pressure. For models with tanks, open the drainage tap at the bottom to release moisture and prevent corrosion.
Maintenance
Before maintenance, switch off, unplug, and depressurize the tank. Keep the compressor clean and free of dust using a damp cloth and compressed air. Ensure ventilation openings remain clear. Regularly drain the tank via the drainage tap to prevent internal corrosion.
Troubleshooting
If the compressor stops and restarts automatically, it may be due to thermal cutout from overheating; ensure the work area is ventilated and do not exceed the duty cycle. If there is a reduction in performance or frequent start-ups, check for air leaks or excessive consumption. If air leaks from the pressure switch valve, clean the valve seat and rubber disc, or replace if worn. For serious faults, contact an authorized service agent.

Common problems
Compressor stops and restarts automatically
Thermal cutout triggered due to overheating. Ensure the work area is ventilated and do not exceed the 25% duty cycle.
Reduction in performance or frequent start-ups
Check for air leaks in couplings/pipes or excessive air consumption. The tool may require a higher spec compressor.
Air leakage from pressure switch valve
The valve seal may be dirty or worn. Unscrew the valve head, clean the seat and rubber disc, or replace the disc.
Before use
- Inspect power supply leads and plugs for wear or damage.
- Ensure the compressor is placed on a firm, level surface.
- Verify that the mains voltage matches the compressor data plate.
- Ensure the air tool is disconnected before moving or maintaining the unit.
- Check that the air tool is clean and functioning properly.
