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 professional 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 a business premises, to be tested by a qualified Electrician at 

least once a year by using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT).

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, plugs and all electrical connections for wear and damage, especially power 

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 13Amp plug may require a fuse smaller than 13Amps for certain products. 

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 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 there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected and that 

the wire 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. Some products require more than a 13Amp 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 & 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. We 

recommend that at least 1.5mm

2

section cable 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.

2.1.

Attaching the stand to the fan. (See Fig. 1) 

Remove the fan and the stand 

from the carton. The stand must be attached to the fan before the fan is used. 

Insert the two circular pillars (A) on the stand as far as they will go into the two 

circular holes on the rear cabinet (B). Press both sides of the stand at points (C) 

until the two plastic clips snap into place under  the rear grille. (see also fig.3)

p

WARNING! 

Do not attempt to operate the fan without the stand by proping it 

up against a wall or other surface as this may restrict the airflow and cause the 

motor to overheat resulting in possible damage to property and /or persons. The 

fan is designed to be used only with the stand supplied and this must remain 

permanently attached. In the event of a stand breakage you must cease to use 

the unit until a new Sealey stand part has been obtained and fitted.
