1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
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 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 2.5mm² section cable.

2. INTRODUCTION
Random orbital polisher with Ø230mm 5 ply foam pad and two polishing bonnets. Smooth operation provides even buffing/polishing with no
hot spots. Impact resistant ABS housing with 360ºgrip. Supplied with 4mtr cable and BS approved plug. GS/TUV and CE approved.
4. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply the safety instructions in Section 1.
WARNING! Excess pressure can cause damage to paintwork and will put the polisher motor under strain. Polishers returned
with burnt out motors will be rejected as a warranty claim. Normally the weight of the polisher is sufficient.
WARNING! Do not use the polisher with abrasive or rubbing compounds.
4.1. Before each use, check that the bonnet is clean and free of abrasive particles and is undamaged and that the pad rotates freely.
4.2. Apply a small amount of polish/wax evenly over the surface of the bonnet. Do not apply polish directly to the vehicle surface.
4.3. Hold the polisher firmly by the handles and place the polishing face onto the panel to be polished.
4.4. Start the polisher by pressing the red On/Off switch, ensuring that the pad is still in contact with the vehicle panel.
4.5 Move the polisher with broad sweeping strokes over the surface in a criss cross pattern. Do not apply pressure to the polisher when in
use. Work in logical areas and re-apply the polish/wax at intervals during the polish application process. Do not allow the foam pad to
become saturated with polish/wax as this will make polishing more difficult and will reduce pad life.
4.6. Polish/wax should be applied to difficult-to-reach areas by hand.
4.7. Switch Off the polisher before lifting it from the panel when polish application is completed.
4.8. Remove the application bonnet and replace it with the wool bonnet.
4.9. Buff the polish/wax in the same order it was applied. Do not put pressure on the polisher but allow its weight and action to do the job.
4.10 Badly oxidised paint may require several applications. Do not use abrasive compounds.
4.11 If the polish/wax is difficult to buff too much has been applied. This may also cause the bonnet to come off the pad.
WARNING! Do not immerse the polisher in water.
