1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
p WARNING! It is the users responsibility to check 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 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
person, 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. DO ensure that the insulation on all cables and the product itself is safe before connecting to the mains power supply. See 1.1.2.
above and use a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT).

1.1.4. DO ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.

1.1.5. DO regularly inspect power supply, leads, plugs for wear and damage and all power connections to ensure that none is loose.

1.1.6. DO check that the voltage marked on the product is the same as the electrical power supply to be used, and check that all fused
plugs are fitted with the correct capacity fuse.

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

1.1.8. DO NOT pull power plug from socket by the power cable.

1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damage leads, plugs or connections. Immediately replace or
repair by qualified persons. 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 (UK only - see diagram).
Ensure the double insulated polisher is correctly wired to a three-pin plug.
