WARNING!
Ensure Health & Safety, local authority, and general workshop practice regulations are adhered to when using this equipment.
Familiarise yourself with the application and limitations of the product, as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to the polisher.
WARNING!
Disconnect from the mains power and ensure the disc is at a complete standstill before changing accessories, servicing or
performing any maintenance.
Maintain the
polisher in good condition (use an authorised service agent).
Replace or repair damaged parts.
Use genuine parts only. Non-authorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
WARNING!
Keep all guards and holding screws in place, tight and in good working order. Check regularly for damaged parts. A guard or
any other part that is damaged must be repaired/replaced before the tool is next used.
Locate polisher in a suitable working area, keep area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials. Ensure there is adequate
lighting.
Keep the polisher clean for best and safest performance.
Before each use check abrasive attachments for condition. If worn or damaged replace immediately.
Ensure there are no flammable or combustible materials near the work area.
WARNING!
Wear approved eye safety protection, ear defenders and if dust is generated, respiratory protection.
Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
1.1.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY.
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 are 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 UK 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’.
d) After wiring, check there are no bare wires, that all wires have been connected
correctly, that 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.
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 1.5mm
2
section 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 2.5mm
2
section cable.
NOTE: The ER1700PD has an electronic speed control, which requires a ‘clean’ and stable power supply. Normal 230V mains
supply is suitable. However, the output from many petrol driven generators may not be suitable for this tool. ‘Inverter’ type
power supplies provide a much more stable output and should present no problem.
