VACUUM CLEANERS

MODEL: PC200SD & PC300SD

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.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS, AND

CAUTIONS. USE THIS PRODUCT CORRECTLY, AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO

MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY.

1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 ELECTRICAL SAFETY

p 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.

1.2 GENERAL SAFETY

3Disconnect the cleaner from the power supply before servicing, changing accessories, or performing any maintenance.

3Use only genuine parts and accessories. Unauthorised parts and accessories may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.

Maintain the cleaner in good condition. Use an authorised agent for servicing. Keep machine clean, but DO NOT use solvents.

3Ensure the correct Sealey dust bag is firmly in place before operating the cleaner. Wrong dust bags may cause machine faults and will

invalidate your warranty.

WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply Section 1 Safety Instructions.

Reminder: DO NOT vacuum hazardous substances. Use of an incorrect dust bag will invalidate your warranty.

4.1 Ensure the machine is unplugged from the power supply.

4.2a Remove the top section and fit the dust bag flange onto the inlet

stub, taking care not to damage the bag.

4.2b Alternatively, slide the optional cartridge filter down over the filter

basket and push fully home.

4.3 Reposition the head onto the drum body, and clip in place.

4.4 Insert the larger end of the flexible hose into the front inlet on the

container and lock in place. Push the required attachment onto

the free end of the hose.

Regularly check the dust bag and dispose of safely when it is 2/3 full. The bag is manufactured so that only air, not dust, will pass

through the paper and as such the dust bag must not be re-used. If you wish to use the machine for a wet application and the dust bag

is less than 2/3 full, carefully remove the bag, store for future use, and wipe the tank clean.

7DO NOT use the dust bag for wet or sharp materials.

5.1 Ensure the machine is unplugged from the power supply. Make sure the tank is clean and free from dust and dirt.

5.2 Remove the dust bag and fit a foam filter over the filter basket. Replace the top section onto the container.

5.3 To the same flexible hose as used in dry cleaning fit the desired nozzle.

5.4 Ensure the switch is Off (position 0) before plugging into the power supply.

5.5 Press the switch to On (position I).

Note: 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 action 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 unplug from power supply. Empty the container and clean and dry the inside and

outside before storage.

Remember! After wet vacuuming the foam filter must be removed and a dust bag must be fitted before dry vacuuming again.

WARNING! Not designed for liquid storage. Always empty liquids after use and before storing.
