1.1. ELECTRICAL 

SAFETY

WARNING!

 It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:

You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other 
connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. A 
Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a Residual Current 
Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply which is not protected by an 
RCCB. If in any 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 that all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, are 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 the appliance operators. 

If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.

1.1.3.  Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply. See 1.1.1. and 1.1.2.    
 

and use a Portable Appliance Tester.

1.1.4.  Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.1.5.  Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure
 

that none is loose.

1.1.6. 

Important:

 Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply to be used and that

 

the plug is fitted with the correct fuse - see fuse rating at right.

1.1.7. 

DO NOT

 pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.

1.1.8. 

DO NOT

 pull the plug from the socket by the cable.

1.1.9. 

DO NOT

 use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty item repaired or

 

replaced by a qualified electrician. When a BS 1363/A UK 3 pin plug is damaged, cut the cable just above

 

the plug and 

dispose of the plug safely

. Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (UK only).

 

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 that 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, which are always marked with this symbol     , are fitted with live (brown) and neutral (blue) wires only.  

 

 

To rewire, connect the wires as indicated above - 

DO NOT

 connect either wire to the earth terminal.

1.1.10.  Products which require more than 13amps are supplied without a plug. In this case you must contact a qualified electrician to ensure that a  
 

suitably rated supply is available. We recommend that you discuss the installation of an industrial round pin plug and socket with your 

 electrician.
1.1.11.  If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is preferred since any appliance    
 

plugged into it will be protected. The cable core section is important and should be at least 1.5mm², but to be absolutely sure that the  

 

capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for others which may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use of  

 

2.5mm² section cable. If an extension reel is to be used outdoors, ensure it is marked for outdoor use.

IMPORTANT:

 

PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS.  USE THE PRODUCT 

CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL 
INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.

Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard, this product will, if used according to these 
instructions, and properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.
