1.1 ELECTRICAL SAFETY
p 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 that all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, are 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 a BS 1363/A 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 5 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 2.5mm² section cable.
1.2. GENERAL SAFETY
3Disconnect the grinder from the mains power before changing accessories, servicing or performing any maintenance.
3Maintain grinder and discs in good condition. Check moving parts and alignment. If necessary use an authorised service agent.

3Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery and contain long hair.
3Use grinder in a suitable work area. Keep area clean, tidy and free from unrelated materials and ensure that there is adequate lighting.
3Maintain correct balance and footing, DO NOT over-reach. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
3Use only approved grinding discs and only use the normal grinding surface. Never use the side or upper surface of disc for cutting.
3Check grinding disc to ensure there are no splits, cracks or other damage (see Section 4). If in doubt do not use the disc.
3Grinding discs must be securely attached before use, but not over-tightened.
3Secure unstable workpiece with a clamp, vice or other adequate holding device and ensure the grinder is gripped with both hands.

pWARNING! Ensure the grinder is disconnected from the mains power supply before attempting any maintenance.
6.1. Cleaning
Keep the grinder ventilation slots clean and free from obstructions. If available, blow compressed air into the vents to clear any internal
dust (safety goggles must be warn when undertaking this process). Keep the outer case of the grinder clean and free from grease.
DO NOT wash with water or use solvents or abrasives.
6.2. Brushes
Only an authorised Sealey service agent should change the brushes.
p p
WARNING! Ensure grinder is unplugged from the mains power supply before changing accessories.
5.1. Preparation
5.1.1. Assemble grinding disc according to 3.2. and position the auxiliary handle to suit the task.
5.1.2. Ensure the disc safety guard is correctly positioned.
5.1.3. Plug grinder into the mains power supply.
5.2. Grinder On/Off Switch
The On/Off switch is designed to avoid starting should the switch (fig. 6.A) be pressed in error.
5.2.1. Once plugged into the mains supply, start the grinder by sliding the switch back - it will latch
in the On position.
p p
WARNING! When the grinder first starts it will kick to the right, you must ensure therefore that the tool is securely gripped in both hands.
Especially important is the position you choose to secure the auxiliary handle in order to maintain stability.
5.2.2. To switch off the machine push the front of the On/Off button (fig. 6.A) down. The button will slide forward under spring pressure to the
safety position and the machine will stop.
p WARNING! Before grinding ensure you wear approved safety goggles, ear defenders, dust mask if grinder generates dust and
safety gloves, and that all other safety instructions in Section 1 are followed carefully.
5.3. Grinding
The key to effective operating is controlling the pressure and surface contact between the disc and the workpiece.
pWARNING! DO NOT switch the grinder on whilst the disc is in contact with the workpiece. Bring the rotating disc to the workpiece.
5.3.1. Allow the disc to reach full speed before starting to grind.
5.3.2. Grind flat surfaces at an angle of between 10 to 20 degrees. Too great an angle will cause a concentration of pressure in one small
area resulting in gouging or burning of the surface.
5.3.3. When grinding is complete allow the workpiece to cool. DO NOT touch the hot surface.
5.3.4. Unplug the grinder from the mains power supply, clean and store in a safe, dry, childproof area.
5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
pWARNING! DO NOT USE DISCS THAT ARE DAMAGED, OR SUSPECTED OF DAMAGE.
Before using a grinding disc ensure there are no fissures or cracks. Once mounted on the grinder test the disc before use by facing the grinder
in a safe direction (pointing away from yourself, others and vulnerable items) and operate for a short time.
sDANGER! Use of damaged discs may cause damage and/or personal injury.
Grinding and cutting discs used in association with this machine shall be of an adequate speed rating and suitable for the job in hand.
The discs shall be made in accordance with British Standard 4481:Part 1 1989. Only persons holding a grinding wheel certificate are
authorised to change grinding discs and wheels.
