1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 that they are safe to use. 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 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 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 damage leads, plugs or connections. Immediately replace or have repaired by
a qualified electrician. A U.K. 3 pin 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 at right). Ensure the unit is correctly earthed via a three-pin plug.
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 that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly
connected, that the outer cable insulation extends beyond the cable restraint and that the cable restraint is tight.
Double insulated products are often fitted with live (BROWN) and neutral (BLUE) wires only. Double insulated products are always
marked with this symbol
to the earth terminal.
1.1.10. 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 and should be at least 1.5mm². However, 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 2.5mm² section cable.
1.2. GENERAL SAFETY
WARNING! Disconnect the bandsaw from the power source before servicing, changing accessories, or performing any other maintenance.

Familiarise yourself with the applications and limitations of the bandsaw, as well as the potential hazards.

Maintain the bandsaw in top condition. Keep it clean and keep blades sharp for best and safest performance.

Use original Sealey spare parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

Keep all guards and fixing screws in place, tight and in working order. Check regularly for damaged parts. A guard or any other part

that is damaged must be repaired or replaced before the saw is used further. Check also for incorrect alignment of moving parts,
loose mountings, or any other condition that could affect the operation of the saw.
Ensure the space allocated for use and maintenance of the machine is adequate, free from unrelated materials and has good lighting.

Wear approved eye and ear protection when operating the machine. If dust is produced, wear an approved face or dust mask.

Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area, especially when the saw is in operation.

Remove any adjusting keys and wrenches from the machine before operating.

Ensure that large or oversized workpieces are supported at bed height. Ensure you use a suitable support for any workpiece that does

not have a flat surface. Be cautious when cutting workpieces which are irregular in cross-section as the saw blade could be pinched
before the cut is completed. Any stock such as frame moulding, must lay flat on the table surface and not be allowed to rock.
WARNING! Round bar and tubing have a tendency to roll while being cut and cause the blade to "bite". DO NOT cut such items

without clamping or blocking the workpiece.
WARNING! Never force the blade through the workpiece.

DO NOT use this bandsaw for anything other than its intended purpose. This bandsaw is designed for light metal cutting work in

engineering workshops, garages, metal fabricators, etc.
WARNING! The SM35CE.V4 bandsaw MuST NOT be used to cut non-metallic materials (including wood). To do so will

invalidate your insurance cover and your warranty and may cause damage and/or personal injury.
DO NOT wear loose or ill-fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other jewellery. Tie up, or adequately cover, long hair.

DO NOT start the bandsaw until the workpiece is secure and the blade has been lowered to just above the workpiece.

DO NOT run the bandsaw with the blade in the raised position.

. To re-wire, connect the brown & blue wires as indicated above. DO NOT connect the brown or blue
.
