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 supply is correctly fused, 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.
1.1.10. This product requires a 30 amp supply and
NO
plug is fitted.
You must
contact a qualified electrician to
ensure a 30 amp supply is available. We recommend you discuss the installation of a industrial round
pin plug and socket with your electrician. If fitting a plug -
Ensure the unit is correctly wired and earthed
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 correctly connected, that cable outer insulation
extends beyond the cable grip and that the grip is tight.
1.1.12.
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. The minimum section of cable required for these welders 2.5mm².
