WARNING!
Disconnect the saw from the mains power before changing saw blades and accessories, servicing or performing maintenance.
3
Mount the saw to a secure surface such as a work table, workbench or floor. Keep area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials
and ensure there is adequate lighting.
3
Maintain the saw in good condition (use authorised service agent only).
3
Replace or repair damaged parts.
Use recommended parts only. Non-authorised parts may be
dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
3
Keep the machine clean and the blade sharp for best and safest performance. Check moving parts
alignment regularly.
3
Before each use check saw blade condition. If worn or damaged replace immediately.
3
Place the blade guard to within 1/8" of the material being cut.
p
WARNING!
Keep all safety 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 repaired or
replaced before the saw is next used. The safety guard is a mandatory fitting.
3
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches from the saw before turning it on.
3
Wear approved safety eye protection, ear defenders, safety gloves and, if dust is generated,
respiratory protection.

Keep hands and fingers at a safe distance from the saw blade, especially at the end of a cut.
Guide the work with a piece of wood or push rod rather than your fingers when cutting small pieces.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY.

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 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 for wear and damage and all electrical 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
,
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 damaged 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.
b) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected, that 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
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 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 cores of the cable
is important. We suggest 1.5mm
2
section 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 2.5mm
2
section cable.
