1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.1.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY. F

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 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 correct capacity fuse.

1.1.7.

DO NOT pull or carry the powered appliance by its power supply lead or output cables.

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 model, (discard old plug safely).

1.1.10.

Some products require more than a 13Amp electrical supply. In such a case, NO plug will be fitted. You must contact a qualified Electrician to ensure a 30 amp fused

supply is available. We recommend you discuss the installation of a industrial round pin plug & socket with your electrician.

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 cross-section of the cable on the cable reel must be suitable for the unit and

never lower than the cross-section of the main cable supplied with the unit.

1.2.

After wiring, check there are no bare wires, that all wires have been

correctly connected and that the wire restraint is tight.

1.2.2.

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 cross-section of the cable on the cable reel must be suitable for the unit and never lower than the cross-section of the main cable supplied with unit.
