1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

p 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 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 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 at right.

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. When an ASTA/BS approved UK 3 pin plug is damaged, cut the cable just above the plug and dispose of the plug safely. Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (UK only).

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. 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 Double insulated products, which are always marked with this symbol , are fitted with live (brown) and neutral (blue) wires only. To rewire, connect the wires as indicated above - DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.

1.1.11. 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.

5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

5.1. LEAD PAINT WARNING!

Paint once contained lead as a traditional ingredient. Dust from the removal of such paint is toxic and contact with it must be avoided. The following action must be taken when using the sander on paint that you suspect may contain lead.

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

2. DANGER! Keep all persons and pets away from the work area. The following are particularly vulnerable to the effects of lead paint dust:

Pregnant women, babies and children.

3. We recommend personal protection by using the following safety items:

a) Paint Spray Respirator (Our ref SSP1699) b) PE Coated Hooded Coverall (Our ref SSP266) c) Latex Gloves (Our ref SSP24).

4. Take adequate measures to contain the paint dust, flakes and scrapings.

5. Continue to wear safety equipment as in (3) above and thoroughly clean all areas when the task is complete.

6. Ensure that paint waste is disposed of, according to local regulations, in sealed bags or containers.

WARNING! Ensure that grinder is unplugged from the mains power supply before changing accessories.

5.2. Preparation

5.2.1. Assemble grinding/cutting/sanding disc according to Section 3 and position the hand grip and safety guard to suit the task.

5.2.2. Plug grinder into the mains power supply.

5.3. ON/OFF Switch

5.3.1. The On/Off switch (fig 6.E) is designed to avoid accidental starting.

5.3.2. Once plugged into the power supply start the grinder by sliding the switch forward and pressing down.

WARNING! When the grinder first starts it will kick to the right. You must ensure, therefore, that the tool is securely gripped in both hands. Especially important is the position you choose for the side handle in order to maintain stability.

5.3.3. To turn off the machine press the switch at the rear and it will spring back to the Off position.

WARNING! Before use, ensure that you are wearing approved safety goggles, ear defenders, appropriate dust mask if dust will be generated and safety gloves, and that all other safety instructions in Section 1 are followed carefully.

5.4. Grinding/Cutting/Sanding

5.4.1. The key to effective operating is controlling the pressure and surface contact between the disc and the workpiece.

p WARNING! DO NOT switch the grinder on whilst the disc is in contact with the workpiece. Bring the rotating disc to the workpiece.

5.4.2. Allow the disc to reach full speed before starting to grind/cut/sand.

5.4.3. Grind flat surfaces with the disc at an angle of between 10 and 20 degrees to the workpiece. Too great an angle will cause a concentration of pressure in one small area resulting in gouging or burning of the surface.

5.4.4. When grinding/cutting is complete allow the workpiece to cool. DO NOT touch the hot surface. Unplug the grinder from the mains power supply, clean and store in a safe, dry, childproof area.
