ELECTRICAL SAFETY
p
WARNING! It is the users responsibility to check 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 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.

Electricity At Work Act 1989
requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested by a qualified
person, 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.

is fitted. In case of damage, cut off and fit a new plug according to the following
