1. SAFETY
1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY (with respect to mains chargers)
WARNING! It is the user’s responsibility to check the following:
9 You must check the AC adaptor to ensure that it is safe before using. You must inspect the power supply lead, 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 plug
into an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician. You can obtain a Residual Current Device
through your Sealey stockist. You must read and understand instructions concerning electrical safety.
9 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.
9 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.
9 Ensure that the insulation on all cables and the product itself is safe before connecting to the mains power supply.
9 Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
9 Regularly inspect power supply, leads, plugs for wear and damage and power connections to ensure that none is loose.
9 Check product voltage is the same as power supply to be used.
