 DO NOT use equipment for any purpose other than that for which it is designed.
 DO NOT operate the polisher if any parts are damaged or missing as this may cause failure or possible personal injury.

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 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 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 13 amp plug may require a fuse smaller than 13 amps for certain products (subject to 1.1.10.
below), 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 damaged leads, plugs or connections. Immediately replace or have
repaired by a qualified electrician. A UK 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 there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly
connected, that cable outer insulation extends beyond the cable restraint and that the 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 re-wire, connect the brown & blue wires as indicated above. DO NOT connect the brown or blue

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. We suggest 1.5mm2 section as a minimum 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 2.5mm2 section cable.

NOTE: The ER1700P.V2 has an electronic speed control, which requires a ‘clean’ and stable power supply. Normal 230V mains
supply is suitable. However, the output from many petrol driven generators may not be suitable for this tool. ‘Inverter’ type
power supplies provide a much more stable output and should present no problem.

toxic and must therefore be avoided. The following action must be taken before using machine as a sander:

1. User must determine potential hazard relating to age of paint to be removed. (Modern paints do not have lead content).

2. DANGER! Keep all persons and pets away from the working area. The following are particularly vulnerable to the effects of lead
paint dust: Expectant women, babies and children.

3. We recommend personal protection by using the following safety items:
A) Paint Spray Respirator (Sealey ref. SSP1699) B) PE Coated Hooded Coverall (Sealey ref. SSP266). C) Latex Gloves (Sealey
ref. SSP24).

4. Take adequate measures to contain paint dust, flakes and scrapings. Wear safety equipment, as in (3) above and thoroughly clean
all areas when task is complete.

5. Ensure the paint waste is disposed of in sealed bags or containers according to local regulations.
