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 or 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 those appliances, 

 

and the safety of appliance operators. 

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 electric 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.  Inspect power supply leads and plugs regularly for wear or damage and 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.

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. replace or have repaired immediately by a 

 

qualified electrician. Where 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 earthed correctly via a three-pin plug. 

 

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

 

that the cable outer insulation extends past the cable restraint and that the cable restraint is tight.

 

1.1.10. 

Cable extension reels

. When a cable extension reel is used it should be unwound fully 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 in 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, the use of 2.5mm² section is recommended.

Recommended fuse

rating: 13A
