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 are
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 below.
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 in diagram.
DO NOT
connect either wire to the earth terminal.
1.1.10. some products require more than a 13 amp electrical supply. In
such a case,
NO

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 1.5mm² section cable 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
2.5mm² section cable.
