GENERAL SAFETY

  

WARNING!

 

Ensure Health & Safety, local authority, and general workshop practice regulations are adhered to when using this equipment.

  Familiarise yourself with the application and limitations of the product, as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to the polisher.

  

WARNING!

 

Disconnect from the mains power and ensure the disc is at a complete standstill before changing accessories, servicing or  

 

performing any maintenance.

 

Maintain the

 

polisher in good condition (use an authorised service agent).

  Replace or repair damaged parts. 

Use genuine parts only. Non-authorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

 

 

WARNING!

 Keep all 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 must be repaired/replaced before the tool is next used. 

  Locate polisher in a suitable working area, keep area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials. Ensure there is adequate  

 

 lighting.

  Keep the polisher clean for best and safest performance.

  Before each use check abrasive attachments for condition. If worn or damaged replace immediately.

  Ensure there are no flammable or combustible materials near the work area.

 

 

WARNING!

 

Wear approved eye safety  protection, ear defenders and if dust is generated, respiratory protection.

  Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.

1.1. 

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 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 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 13 amp plug may require a fuse smaller than 13 amps 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 damaged leads, plugs or connections. Immediately replace or have    

 

 

 

 

 

repaired by a qualified electrician. A UK 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’.

 

d)  After wiring, check there are no bare wires, that all wires have been  connected    

 

 

 

 

 

correctly, 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. 

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.

NOTE: The ER1700PD has an electronic speed control, which requires a ‘clean’ and stable power supply. Normal 230V mains 

 

 

supply is suitable. However, the output from many petrol driven generators may not be suitable for this tool. ‘Inverter’ type   

 

power supplies provide a much more stable output and should present no problem.
