1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1.1. PLUG & MAINS POWER SUPPLY.
WARNING! It is the owners 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 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.
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 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 see fuse rating listed above.
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 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 diagram above).
Ensure the unit is correctly earthed via a three-pin plug. FOR 13AMP PLUG SEE DIAGRAM FIGURE 1.
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. The
section should be at least 1.5mm 2 but to be absolutely 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 2 section cable.
1.2. LAMP WIRING
.
WARNING! Ensure the floodlight is disconnected from the mains power supply before inspecting lamp wiring.

Should it be necessary to re-wire cable into lamp, this should be undertaken by a qualified electrician.

 DANGER! DO NOT shine light directly into a person's eyes.
All models have a very intensive light output, which if incorrectly used could cause eye damage.
 DO NOT touch the light when operating, allow to cool before touching, light operates at high temperature.
 DO NOT handle halogen bulbs as the natural oil from your fingers and hands will shorten the bulb life. Handle only with a soft cloth.
 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
