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 are 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 2.5mm2section

cable.

1.2. General Safety

shop practice regulations are adhered to when using this equipment.

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

or servicing.

 Maintain the sander in good condition (use an authorised service agent).

 Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only.

dance with these instructions and tested in accordance with

BS EN 28662-

1:1993, ISO 8662-1:1988 and BS EN ISO 8662-4:1995, ISO 8662-4:1994

results in the following vibration emission declared in accordance with BS

EN12096:1996.

Measured vibration emission value:

4.46

m/s

Uncertainty:

1.78

m/s

These values are suitable for comparison with emission levels of other tools

that have been subject to the same test.

This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is

inadequately managed.

This is a ‘NO LOAD’ vibration figure.

A competent person should carry out a risk assessment following HSE

guidelines. Measurement results can be highly variable, depending on many

factors, including the operator's technique, the condition of the work equipment,

the material being processed and the measurement method.

Recommended Measures to reduce risk of hand-arm vibration syndrome:

We recommend appropriate safety equipment is utilised and regular breaks for

the operator are employed to reduce any residual risk of fatigue or repetitive

strain injury.

Features variable speed control ranging from 4000 to 7000rpm. Rotating dust

extraction port. Alloy bevel gear head with composite motor housing. Supplied

with Ø150mm hook-and-loop backing pad and side handle.

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.

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

through the side vents and around the pad bearing. Regular periodic

cleaning will prolong the life of the sander.

4.2. 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. To change the backing pad remove the four

screws and washers (A) shown in fig.5, replace the pad and secure.

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

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