Sealey Quality MACHINERY SM44 User manual

1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY. pWARNING! 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 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 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 (subject to 1.1.10. below) see fuse rating at right.
1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the powered appliance by its 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 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 often 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. We suggest 1.5mm2section cable as a minimum, 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.
Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard this product will, if used according to these instructions
and properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.

4.1 Normal flat cutting.
4.1.1 Set blade to front or side cutting as required. ( Refer to fig.3 )
4.1.2 When cutting with the table in the normal flat position the slot in the circular table insert
( through which the blade passes ) should be aligned with the cutting line of the blade. If
you change the blade from front to side cutting you must rotate the insert through 900so
that the slot remains in line with the blade
4.1.3 Adjust foot ( See fig.5 ) to just clear workpiece (so that fingers cannot touch blade) and
align blower tube to keep cut line visible.
4.2 Cutting at an angle.
4.2.1 Set blade to front cutting only.
4.2.2 Cutting at an angle should always be done with the blade in the forward cutting position.
In this instance rotate the circular table insert B so that the slot is sideways onto the
blade so that there is clearance for the blade to move when the table is at its maximum
tilt. ( See fig.7 ).
4.2.3 Loosen knob C and rotate cutting table A to the desired angle with reference to the scale
provided ( 0 to 300 ). Retighten knob C.
4.2.4 Adjust foot ( See fig.5 ) to just clear workpiece (so that fingers cannot touch blade) and align blower tube to keep cut line visible.
4.3. Plug saw into mains and switch on.
4.3.1 Workpiece may now be guided slowly into the blade taking care to keep the workpiece pressed down firmly onto the table. Take care
not to bend or twist the blade as this will cause it to break.
pWARNING! DO NOT attempt to saw with the table at an angle if the blade is in the side-cut position.
