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.
1.1.1. You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.1.2. 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.
1.1.3. 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.
1.1.4. 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.
1.1.5. ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.1.6. regularly inspect power supply leads, plugs for wear and damage and power connections, to ensure that none is loose or damaged.
1.1.7. Important: Ensure that the voltage rating on the appliance suits the power supply to be used and that the plug is tted with the
correct fuse - see fuse rating in these instructions.
8 do not pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
8 do not pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
8 do not use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. ensure that any faulty item is repaired or
replaced immediately by a qualied electrician.
1.1.8. This product is tted with a BS1363/A 13 Amp 3 pin plug.
if the cable or plug is damaged during use, switch the electricity supply and remove from use.
Ensure that repairs are carried out by a qualied electrician.
Replace a damaged plug with a BS1363/A 13 Amp 3 pin plug. If in doubt contact a qualied electrician.
A) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.
B) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
C) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
ensure that the cable outer sheath extends inside the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected. sealey
recommend that repairs are carried out by a qualied electrician.
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 1.5mm², 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 2.5mm² section cable. if extension reel is to be used outdoors, ensure it is marked for outdoor use.
