1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

p WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:

You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other

connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices.

A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a Residual Current

Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply which is not protected

by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer.

You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.

1.1.1. The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested by a qualified

electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.

1.1.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of those appliances

and the safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.

1.1.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply. See 1.1.1. and 1.1.2.

and use a Portable Appliance Tester.

1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.

1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all

connections to ensure that none is loose.

1.1.6. Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply

to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse - see fuse rating at right.

1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.

1.1.8. DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.

1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty

item repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. When an ASTA/BS approved UK

3 pin plug is damaged, cut the cable just above the plug and dispose of the plug safely.

Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (UK only).

a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal E.

b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal L.

c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal N.

d) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected, that the cable outer insulation

extends beyond the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.

Double insulated products, which are always marked with this symbol , are fitted with live (brown) and neutral (blue) wires only.

To rewire, connect the wires as indicated above - DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.

1.1.10. Products which require more than 13 amps are supplied without a plug. In this case you must contact a qualified electrician to ensure that a

suitably rated supply is available. We recommend that you discuss the installation of an industrial round pin plug and socket with your electrician.

1.1.11. If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is preferred since any appliance

plugged into it will be protected. The cable core section is important and should be at least 1.5mm2, but to be absolutely sure that the

capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for others which may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use of

2.5mm2section cable.

6.1. Installing drill bit

6.1.1. Insert drill bit into chuck jaws to 1" (25mm) deep (avoid inserting small bits too far) and centre bit in chuck before tightening.

6.2. Adjusting the table

6.2.1. To adjust table up or down, loosen lock handle (fig.3.B), then turn bracket handle (fig.3.A). Once at correct height tighten lock handle.

6.2.2. To adjust table tilt, remove the locating pin and nut (fig.3.C) - if pin is tight, turn nut clockwise to loosen. Loosen the table arm bolt

(fig.3.D), adjust table to the desired angle using the angle scale, then retighten the table arm bolt. When the table is returned to the

horizontal, replace the locating pin and nut.

6.2.3. To turn the table around the column, loosen the lock handle. Turn the table to the desired position and then tighten the lock handle.

6.3. Adjusting the speed

6.3.1. Determine the speed for the drilling operation (see drill speed chart) and, with the motor running, move the speed control handle (turn

anticlockwise to loosen) to that speed as marked on the pulley housing. Lock the lever in position by turning it clockwise and turn off the motor.

6.4. Positioning the workpiece

6.4.1. Rest the workpiece on a piece of wood to prevent the drill bit damaging the table when it breaks through.

The wood should rest on the table so that one end of it is against the left side of the column. When the drill bit breaks through the

workpiece, it will contact the wood and cause it to spin. Resting the wood against the column will help prevent this.

6.4.2. For small workpieces that cannot be clamped to the table, use a drill vice (not included). Vice must be clamped or bolted to table.

6.5. Setting the drill depth

6.5.1. Use the scale on the side of the drill head near the drill handle.

6.5.2. Loosen locking screw (fig.5.D) and set the scale to the depth required. Tighten locking screw.

6.5.3. When ready to drill, simply pull the feed handle. The drill will stop at the set depth.
