1.2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY (with respect to mains chargers)
WARNING! It is the user's responsibility to check the following:
‰
You must check the mains charger to ensure that it is safe before using.
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 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 plug into an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician. You
can obtain a Residual Current Device through your Sealey stockist. You must read and understand instructions concerning electrical
safety.
The Electricity At Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested by a qualified
person, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
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.
Ensure that the insulation on all cables and the product itself is safe before connecting to the mains power supply.
9
Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
