1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.1. Electrical Safety

WARNING! It is the user’s responsibility to read, understand and comply

with the following:

You must check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure they

are safe before using.

You must inspect power supply leads, plugs and all electrical connections

for wear and damage.

You must ensure the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation

of appropriate safety devices. An RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker)

should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend

that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all electrical products.

It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are

plugged into an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB. If in 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 the appliance and the

safety of the appliance operator. If in doubt about electrical safety, contact

a qualified electrician.

1.1.3. Ensure the insulation on all cables and the product itself is safe before

connecting to the mains power supply. See 1.1.1. & 1.1.2. above and use

a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT).

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

1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply leads and plugs for wear and damage

and all electrical connections to ensure that none is loose.

1.1.6. Important: Ensure the voltage marked on the product is the same as the

electrical power supply to be used and check that plugs are fitted with the

correct capacity fuse. A 13 amp plug may require a fuse smaller than 13

amps for certain products, see fuse rating below.

1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power supply lead.

1.1.8. DO NOT pull power plugs from sockets by the power cable.

1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damaged leads, plugs or connections. Immediately

replace or have repaired by a qualified electrician. A U.K. 3 pin plug

with ASTA/BS approval is fitted. In case of damage, cut off and fit a

new plug according to the following instructions, discard old plug safely

(UK only - see diagram at right). Ensure the unit is correctly earthed via a

three-pin plug.

a) Connect the green/yellow earth

wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.

b) Connect the brown live wire

to live terminal ‘L’.

c) Connect the blue neutral wire to

the neutral terminal ‘N’.

After wiring, check that there are no bare

cores, that all wires have been correctly

connected, that the cable external

insulation extends beyond the cable

restraint and that the restraint is tight.

Double insulated products are fitted

with live (BROWN) and neutral

(BLUE) wires only. Double insulated

products are always marked with

this symbol . Check your model

carefully to see which type of product

your have. To rewire a double insulated item, connect the brown and

blue wires as indicated above. DO NOT connect brown or blue to the earth

terminal.

1.1.10. Cable extension reels. When a cable extension reel is used it should be

fully unwound before connection. A cable reel with an RCD fitted is

recommended since any product which is plugged into the cable reel

will be protected. The section of the cores of the cable is important and

should be at least 1.5mm2, but to be absolutely sure that the capacity of

the cable reel is suitable for this product and for others that may be used

in the other output sockets, we recommend the use of 2.5mm² section

cable.

1.2. General Safety

shop practice regulations are adhered to when using this equipment.

air through the side vents and around the pad bearing. Periodic

cleaning will prolong machine life.
