1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 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 and 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 below.
1.1.7.
DO NOT
pull or carry the appliance by the 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’.
After wiring, check that there are no
bare cores, that all wires have been
correctly connected, that the cable
external insulation extends beyond the
cable restraint and that the restraint is
tight. Double insulated products are fit
ted with live (BROWN) and neutral
(BLUE) wires only. Double insulated
products are always marked with this
symbol . Check your model carefully to see which type of product your
have. To rewire a double insulated item, connect the brown and blue wires
as indicated above.
DO NOT
connect 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 and should
be at least 1.5mm2, 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 2.5mm2 section cable.
1.2. General Safety

shop practice regulations are adhered to when using this equipment.

removal of such paint is toxic if inhaled or ingested and must, therefore, be
avoided. The following action must be taken before using the sander on a
surface that you suspect may have contained lead in the paint.
1. User must determine potential hazard relating to age of paint to be
