1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY. p
p
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 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,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.
b) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected, that 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. We suggest 1.5mm2section 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.

5.1. Cross cutting
To cut wood at right angles to the grain. This type of cut can be made freehand but using the mitre guide ensures accurate results. The
guide can also be adjusted to a 45° angle to produce mitre cuts, or compound mitre cuts with the table tilted. Ensure the work is held
firmly against the table and against the face of the mitre guide.
p p
WARNING! Keep your fingers away from the blade, particularly at the end of the cut.
5.2. Freehand
When freehand cutting, select the widest blade suitable for cutting the smallest radius in the work you have planned (see below).
Always feed the work slowly to follow your saw line. Ensure you do not drag the work off-line forcing the blade sideways or twisting it.
It may be helpful to make an initial rough cut about 5mm away from the line. For difficult curves which may be too tight for the blade,
make relief cuts on the face of the curve so that the waste wood will fall away as the final radius is cut.
Blade width Minimum cutting radius
1/8 5mm
1/4 16mm
3/8 35mm
5.3. Blade and blade speed selection
5.3.1. The hardness of the workpiece determines the blade speed required. Soft materials (light wood) - high speed, hard materials
(metals) - low speed.
5.3.2. There should be at least three saw teeth in contact with the workpiece at any one time during cutting. Therefore the thinner the
workpiece the higher the blade tpi required.
5.4. Bevel cutting
When bevel cutting with the table tilted always have the workpiece guide (fence or mitre) on the lower part of the table.
5.5. Workpiece stability
Any workpiece which does not have a flat surface which will ensure stability on the saw table must be held in a suitable device which
will prevent rotation.
