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 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 (

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 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’.

  

After wiring, check 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. 

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 1.5mm² 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 2.5mm² section cable.
