1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

p WARNING! It is the users responsibility to read, understand and comply with the following:

You must check all electrical equipment and appliances, before using, to ensure that they are safe. 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 any 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, plugs for wear and damage and power 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 at right.

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

1.1.8. DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the power cable.

1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damage 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 it 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 wired via a three-pin plug.

a) Note that this saw is double insulated and therefore there is no GREEN/YELLOW earth wire.

b) Connect the BROWN live wire to 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 are fitted with live (BROWN) and neutral (BLUE) wires only. Double insulated products are always marked with

this symbol . To re-wire, connect the brown & blue wires as indicated above. DO NOT connect the brown or blue to the earth terminal.

1.1.10. Some products require more than a 13 amp electrical supply. In such a case, NO plug will be fitted. You must contact a qualified electrician

to ensure a 30 amp fused supply is available. We recommend you discuss the installation of a industrial round pin plug and socket with your electrician.

1.1.11. 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.
