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 fit

ted 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

 WARNING! Ensure Health & Safety, local authority, and general work

shop practice regulations are adhered to when using this equipment.

 WARNING!Disconnect from mains power before changing accessories

LEAD PAINT WARNING!

Paint once contained lead as a traditional ingredient. The dust from the

removal of such paint is toxic if inhaled or ingested and must, therefore, be

avoided. The following action must be taken before using the sander on a

surface that you suspect may have contained lead in the paint.

1. User must determine potential hazard relating to age of paint to be

removed. (Modern paints do not contain lead).

2. DANGER! Keep all persons and pets away from the work area. The

following are particularly vulnerable to the effects of lead paint dust:

Expectant women, babies and children.

4. Take adequate measures to contain the paint dust, flakes, and scrapings.

5. Continue to wear safety equipment as in 3 above, and thoroughly clean all

areas when task is complete. Ensure that paint waste is disposed of, in

sealed bags or containers, according to local authority regulations.

 Use sander in a suitable work area. Keep area clean, tidy and free from

unrelated materials. Ensure that there is adequate lighting.

2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATIONS

 WARNING!Disconnect sander from power supply before changing

accessories, servicing or performing maintenance.  

Replace or repair any damaged parts. Use genuine parts only,

unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

5.1. After each 50 hours use (or as required), remove dust by blowing

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

will prolong machine life.

5.2. Change pads when required. Ensure pad and disc RPM ratings are equal

to, or exceed the machine rating. If the disc becomes unbalanced, it will

cause the bearings to wear.

5.3. When not in use store in a safe, dry, childproof location.

5.4. Check brushes every 200 hours of use. To access the brushes refer to

fig.2. Undo the screw in the end of the motor casing (fig.2.1) and slide

back the cover (fig.2.2). Using a small screwdriver lift the brush spring to

one side (fig.2.3) and slide the brush out of its holder (fig.2.4). If the brush

is worn to half of its original length it should be renewed. Using thin nosed

pliers pull the brush connector off its terminal (fig.2.5). Slide the new brush

into its holder. Slide the connector onto the terminal (fig.2.5). Position the

spring so that it bears down onto the end of the brush. Remember to

renew brushes as a pair.

Slide rear cover back into place and retain it with the screw.

5.5. All other service and maintenance must be carried out by an authorised

service agent.
