1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1. PLUG & MAINS POWER SUPPLY.
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 together with portable products
that are plugged into an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB. If in doubt consult a professional 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. NOTE: 110Volt lights are usually operated by connecting to a transformer or a generator.
Check to ensure all operating equipment is compatible with the rating of the light.
1.1.1. The Electricity At Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on a business premises, to be tested by a qualified Electrician at least once a year by
using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT).
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 and all electrical connections for wear and damage, especially power 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 13Amp plug may require a fuse smaller than 13Amps for certain products (subject to 1.1.10. below) see fuse rating listed below.
1.1.7. Important: For use of a 110Voltage lamp, ensure the 110Volt transformer or generator is of an adequate rating.
1.1.8. DO NOT pull or carry the powered appliance by its power supply lead.
1.1.9. DO NOT pull power plugs from sockets by the power cable.
1.1.10. DO NOT use worn or damaged leads, plugs or connections. Immediately replace or have repaired by a qualified Electrician. A U.K. 3 pin 13Amp or 110Volt 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 diagrams below).
Ensure the unit is correctly earthed via a three-pin plug. FOR 13AMP PLUG SEE DIAGRAM FIGURE 1, FOR 110VOLT SEE FIGURE 2.
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 and that the wire restraint is tight.
1.1.11. 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 cable on the cable reel is important. We recommend that at least 1.5mm
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
1.2. LAMP WIRING.
p WARNING! Ensure all cables are disconnected from the mains power supply before attempting following.
Should you need to re-wire cable into lamp, proceed as follows: Remove back cover of terminal box located at the rear of the lamp to expose the connection block and wire
according to diagram figure 3. When wired, check that the weather proofing seal is correctly located in the back cover recess, and replace the back cover. If in any doubt contact
a qualified electrician.

2. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Disconnect light from the mains power before changing accessories, servicing or performing any maintenance.
Maintain the light in good condition (Repairs must only be undertaken by a qualified electrician, use an authorised service agent).
p
Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only, non authorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
3
Light becomes very hot. Stand the light at least 1 metre from flammable or combustible materials such as wood, cloth, paper etc.
3
Keep a minimum distance of 1 metre from the front of light to the surface which is to be illuminated. Floodlights give off intensive heat.
3
Locate the light in an adequate area for its function, keep area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials.
3
If you use an extension lead the wire must be fully unwound from the drum and laid as straight as possible.
3
The Light is weather proof and may be used out of door, ensure any extensions and plugs are weather compatible.
3
If using a tripod ensure the legs are fully extended and the light is stood on a level solid surface, and ensure the cable is safely placed so that it will not be accidentally pulled.
3
Allow power cables to run down the length of a telescopic light stand to the floor. DO NOT allow power cables to hang from lights above floor level.
3
If the light uses a clamp to hang it during use, ensure the object to which you clamp the spring-clip is suitable for the task.
3
DANGER! DO NOT direct the light light into a persons eyes. All models have a very intensive light output, which if incorrectly used could cause eye damage.
3
DO NOT touch the light when operating, allow to cool before touching, light operates at high temperature.
p
DO NOT handle halgen bulbs as the natural oil from your fingers and hands will shorten the bulb life. Handle only with a soft cloth.
7
DO NOT stand on the legs of a telescopic stand, and DO NOT hang other items, or tools from a telescopic stand.
7
DO NOT use the light without the front glass shield. Avoid touching the glass shield as handling may reduce its serviceable life and cause the glass to crack
7
DO NOT use the light without the weather seals in tact.
7
DO NOT use the light near flammable, combustible or explosive liquids, solids, gases or equipment.
7
When not in use switch the light off, remove plug from the power supply, ensure the unit is cool and dry then store in a safe, dry, childproof area.
