1.1.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY.
p
WARNING! It is the users 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 (
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 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.
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.
