1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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

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 together 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 and all electrical connections for wear and damage,
especially power 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 (
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 damage leads, plugs or connections. Immediately replace or have repaired
bya 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 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 are often fitted with live (BroWn) and neutral (Blue) wires only. double insulated products are always
marked with his 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. some products require more than a 13 amp electrical supply. In such a case,
NO
plug will be fitted.
You must
contact a qualified
electrician to ensure a 30 amp fused supply is available. We recommend you discuss the installation of a industrial round pin plug and
socket with your electrician.
1.1.11.
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 cable on the cable
reel is important. 1.5mm² section cable is 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.

GENERAL SAFETY
familiarise yourself with this products application and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to the saw.
WARNINg!
disconnect the saw from the mains power before changing accessories, servicing or performing any maintenance.
the machine must only be serviced by a qualified person or service agent. contact your sealey dealer for information.
Permanently mount the saw on a supporting surface strong enough to take the weight of the machine and workpiece during operation.
ensure there is an adequate dust extraction area under the saw. follow mounting instructions in chapter 3 carefully.
ensure operating area for the saw is adequate, keep area clean & tidy and free from unrelated materials. ensure there is adequate lighting.
Wood dust can be harmful to health by inhalation and skin contact and concentrations of small dust particles in the air can form an
explosive mixture. ensure there is adequate ventilation and that the saw is attached to a dust-extraction unit.
maintain the
saw in good condition, check moving parts alignment regularly. Keep saw blades clean & sharp.
,
replace or repair damaged parts.
Use recommended 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 should be checked to ensure that it will operate properly and perform its intended function
before the tool is used. the safety guard is a mandatory fitting where the saw is used in premises covered by the Health & safety at Work
Act.
Before commencing work, ensure the saw blade is set to cut in the correct direction, securely fastened, sharp and is compatible with the
machine, spindle speed, and the material to be cut. never use saw blade if damaged, bent or warped. use only recommended saw blades.
remove adjusting keys and wrenches from the machine and its vicinity before turning it on.
machine operators must have received sufficient training and instructions as to the dangers arising in connection with the machine, the
precautions to be observed and the requirements of the Wood Working machines regulations which apply. operators must be under
the adequate supervision of a person who has a thorough knowledge and experience of the machine and the required guards.
WARNING!
Wear approved safety eye protection, ear defenders, and if dust is generated respiratory protection.
