p

WARNING! 

Compressor must only be serviced by an authorised agent. DO NOT tamper with, or attempt to adjust, pressure switch or safety valve.

Before moving, or maintaining the compressor ensure it is unplugged from the mains supply and that the air tank pressure has been vented. 

Only use recommended attachments and parts. To use unapproved items may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.

Read the instructions regarding any accessory used with the compressor. Ensure the safe working pressure of any air appliance used exceeds

unit’s output pressure. If using spray gun, check that the area selected for spraying is provided with air change system/ventilation.

Ensure the air supply valve is turned off before disconnecting the air supply hose.

To move the compressor use the handle only.  Lift the compressor so that the front leg gives enough clearance for manoeuvring but maintain

unit’s centre of gravity in front of the wheels. DO NOT attempt to lift or move the compressor by any means other than by the handle. 

Use the compressor in a well ventilated area and ensure it is placed on a firm surface.

Keep tools and other items away from the compressor when it is in use, and keep area clean and clear of unnecessary items.

Ensure the air hose is not tangled, twisted or pinched.

Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.

DO NOT

dis-assemble compressor for any reason. The unit must be checked by qualified personnel only.

DO NOT

use the compressor outdoors, or in damp, or wet, locations and DO NOT operate within the vicinity of flammable liquids, gases or solids.

DO NOT

touch compressor cylinder, cylinder head or pipe from head to tank as these may be hot and will remain so for some time after shutdown.

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 13 amps 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.
