2.1. 

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.

2.1.1. 

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.

2.1.2. 

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.

2.1.3. 

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.

2.1.4. 

Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.

2.1.5. 

Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all  

 

connections to ensure that none is loose.

2.1.6. 

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.

2.1.7. 

DO NOT

 pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.

2.1.8. 

DO NOT

 pull the plug from the socket by the cable.

2.1.9. 

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/AUK 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.

2.1.10.  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.

2.1.11.  If an extension reel is used it should be as short as possible and 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.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR:

PLASMA INVERTERS

MODELS:

 

PP25.V2, PP25PLUS.V2

Thank you for purchasing a Sealey plasma inverter. 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

BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT, PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. MAKE CAREFUL NOTE OF SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, WARNINGS 

AND CAUTIONS. THIS PRODUCT SHOULD ONLY BE USED FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL NJURY 

AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE.

  2.  SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The PP25 and PP25PLUS are inverter power supplies fitted with plasma inverter control circuitry. Features include an LED information panel 

covering torch under voltage, air fault, general fault (thermostat, over/under voltage, over current) and power on. PP25PLUS has a built-in 

compressor, making it a self-contained unit.  The plasma inverters are suitable for cutting steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper and brass. 

PP25 includes an integrated air filter and regulator with pressure gauge. 

When the torch trigger is depressed a pilot arc is initiated within the torch which then transfers to the workpiece. The combination of the  

electrical arc and the fast flowing air generates a plasma (very hot gas) jet which cuts the workpiece.
