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 or 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 those appliances

and the safety of appliance operators. 

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 and plugs for wear or damage and connections to ensure that none is loose. 

1.1.6.

Important:

Ensure the voltage marked on the product is the same as the power supply to be used, and check that the  plug is fitted with the

correct capacity fuse.

If the plug is damaged it should be replaced according to the instructions below.

(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 the live terminal ‘L’.

c) Connect the blue neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.

d) Ensure the plug is fitted with a 13 amp fuse.
