1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS AND
CAUTIONS. USE THIS PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURYAND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. PLEASE KEEP INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.

1.2. GENERAL SAFETY

! WARNING! Disconnect the saw from the mains power, and ensure that the cutting disc is at a complete standstill before attempting to

change accessories, service or perform any maintenance.

" Maintain the saw in good condition (use an authorised service agent).
" Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
" Locate the saw in a suitable work area. Ensure that the surface is flat and firm. Keep the area clean and tidy and free from unrelated

materials, and ensure that there is adequate lighting.

" Keep the saw clean for best and safest performance and check moving parts alignment regularly.
! WARNING! Before each use check that the cutting disc is secure and that it is not worn or damaged.

NOTE: Only persons qualified under the “Abrasive Wheels Regulations” holding a current grinding wheel certificate may change discs (wheels).

" Ensure that replacement discs are not damaged in any way - cracks, deformations or splinters etc. Also check the mounting flanges to

ensure that they are not deformed, burred or chipped. Damaged flanges must not be used as they may cause uneven pressure on the disc
which may cause the disc to break. DO NOT over tighten a disc and never tamper with a disc in order to adapt it to a different size holder.

" Always use a disc suitable for the material being cut. Ensure that the cutting disc’s specified maximum speed is equal to, or higher than, that

indicated on the machine data plate. Once mounted on the grinder, test the disc before use by facing the grinder in a safe direction (point
disc away from yourself, others and vulnerable items) and running it for a short time.

! WARNING! Keep guard and holding screws in place, tight and in good working order. Check regularly for damaged parts.

A guard or any other part that is damaged must be repaired or replaced before next use. The safety guard is a mandatory fitting when the
saw is used on premises covered by the Health & Safety at Work Act.

1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

! WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other
connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices.
A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a Residual Current
Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply which is not protected
by an RCCB. If in any 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 that all portable electrical appliances, if used on

business premises, are 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 those appliances and the safety of the appliance operators. If in

any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.

1.1.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to
the power supply. See 1.1.1. and 1.1.2. and use a Portable Appliance Tester.

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

1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all
connections to ensure that none is loose.

1.1.6. Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply
to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse - see fuse rating, fig. 1.

1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.

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

1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty
item repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician.
Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (UK only):

MG214/230V - fig. 1
MG214/110V - fig. 2
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’ or .
b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the 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 cable outer insulation extends beyond the cable restraint and
that the restraint is tight.

1.1.10. If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an
RCD fitted is preferred since any appliance plugged into it will be protected. The cable core
section is important and should be at least 1.5mm

2

, but to be absolutely sure that the
capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for others which may be used in the other
output sockets, we recommend the use of 2.5mm

! WARNING! Before cutting ensure that you wear approved safety goggles, ear defenders, appropriate dust mask if cutting

generates dust, and safety gloves. All safety instructions in Section 1 must be followed.

4.1. Securing workpiece

4.1.1. Ensure that the saw is unplugged from the power supply and then secure the workpiece in the base vice (fig. 1.5).
We recommend that you place a block of wood (slightly narrower than the workpiece) in the vice below the item to
be cut to act as a support (fig. 3).

4.1.2. For additional cutting capacity re-locate the vice back stop (fig. 1.5) in the rear vice holes and fully secure.

4.1.3. When cutting long workpieces use additional supports along the length.

4.2. On/Off switch

Plug the saw into the power supply and start the saw by depressing the power switch located on the handgrip (fig. 1.1). Release the
switch to stop the saw.

4.3. Overload switch

If the saw becomes overloaded the overload switch (fig. 1.8) will cut the power to the machine. To reset, press the switch down, first
ensuring that the On/Off switch is in the Off position.

The MG214 is a general purpose abrasive saw suitable for site use. Supplied with abrasive disc for metal cutting but will cut concrete with
the correct disc fitted. Fully guarded disc and integral work vice are included.
