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.

on/off switch. Push the required attachment onto the free end
of the hose.
5.6. Plug in the power supply.
5.7. Switch the motor on (position ‘I’).
5.8. When you have completed vacuuming, press the switch to
‘Off’ (position ‘O’),and unplug from power supply.

5. DRY VACUUM CLEANING
WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply Section 1
‘Safety Instructions’. Reminder: Remove plug from power
supply before opening unit. DO NOT vacuum solvents,
explosives, inflammable and/or hazardous liquids such as
petrol, oil, spirits, paint, thinners, acids etc.
6.1. Whilst preparing the unit for use ensure that the machine is
unplugged from the power supply. Make sure the tank is
clean and free from dust and dirt.
6.2. Remove the reusable cloth filter and fit the foam filter over
the filter cage, replace the top section onto the container.
6.3. To the same flexible hose as used in dry cleaning fit the
desired nozzle.
6.4. Ensure the switch is ‘Off’ (position ‘0’) before plugging into
the power supply.
6.5. Press the switch to ‘On’ (position ‘I’).
6.6. After use, empty the tank and dry.
To vacuum large quantities of liquid, from a sink or tank etc., do not
immerse the nozzle completely in the liquid, leave a gap at the top of
the nozzle opening to allow an air inflow. The machine is fitted with a
float valve which stops the suction when the tank has reached its
maximum capacity. The user will notice an increase in motor speed.
When this happens, turn off the machine, disconnect from power
supply, remove the head from the container and empty the liquid into
a suitable receptacle or drain. To continue vacuuming, refit the head
and proceed. After wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove
plug from power supply. Empty the container and clean/dry the inside
and outside before storage.
Remember! After wet vacuuming the foam filter must be removed
and a dry cloth filter must be fitted before dry vacuuming again.
