Sealey SM1100.V2 Instructions Manual

1.2. GENERAL SAFETY

 Familiarise yourself with the application, limitations and potential hazards of the lathe.

 WARNING!Disconnect the lathe from the mains power before changing accessories, servicing or performing any maintenance.

 Maintain the lathe in good condition (use an authorised service agent to service and maintain the motor).
 Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

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

 Locate lathe in a suitable work area. Keep area clean and tidy, free from unrelated materials and ensure that there is adequate lighting.
 Keep the lathe clean for best and safest performance and check moving parts alignment regularly.
 Keep turning tools clean and sharp for best and safest performance.
 Ensure that there are no flammable or combustible materials near the work area.

 WARNING! Always wear approved eye or face protection when operating the lathe (standard spectacles are not adequate). Wear

approved ear defenders and use a face or dust mask if dust is generated.

 Keep hands and body clear when operating the lathe. DO NOT reach across the lathe.
 Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
 Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery and contain and/or tie back long hair.
 Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
 Remove all wrenches, hex keys etc. from the lathe and its vicinity before turning it on.
 Avoid unintentional starting and ensure the lathe power switch is “OFF” before plugging into the mains power supply.
 DO NOT use the lathe for a task that it is not designed to perform.
 DO NOT operate the lathe if any parts are damaged or missing, as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.

 WARNING! DO NOT use the lathe to cut any materials other than wood.

 DO NOT stand or climb on the lathe.
 DO NOT get the lathe wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.
 DO NOT use any tools other than those appropriate to wood turning.
 DO NOT pull the plug from the power socket by the cable.

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 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 is 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 the plug is fitted with the correct capacity fuse. A 13 amp plug
may require a fuse smaller than 13 amps for certain products, 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 plug from socket 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 U.K. 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 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.

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. Extension cable reels. When an extension cable 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 and should be at least 1.5mm², 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.

2. SPECIFICATION

3. ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENT

 When not in use switch off the lathe and remove the plug from the power socket.
 DO NOT operate the lathe when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
 DO NOT leave the lathe operating unattended and do not leave the work area until the lathe is at a complete stand still.

1.3. WOOD CUTTING SAFETY

 Remove all loose wood knots before mounting workpiece on the lathe.
 Fasten the workpiece securely to the faceplate or between centres before turning on the lathe. Wrong set-up procedures may cause the

workpiece to be thrown from the lathe, which may cause personal injury.

 To confirm that the workpiece will not hit any part of the lathe always rotate it by hand before turning on the motor.
 Rough out a workpiece to be as true and round as possible before attaching to the faceplate. This will minimise vibration.
 Rough out “out of round” workpieces at a slow speed. Running the lathe too fast will cause vibration, which may result in the workpiece

being thrown from the lathe, or the tool being pulled from your hand.

 Avoid awkward hand positions, care must be taken to stop your hands from slipping onto the rotating workpiece.
 Keep a firm control of the cutting tool. Care must be exercised when wood knots or voids are exposed to the turning tool.
 Complete any hand sanding before removing the workpiece from the lathe. Ensure that the lathe speed during sanding does not exceed

the speed used for the last cutting operation performed on that same workpiece.

 DO NOT store, or lay, work tools in such a way that you must reach over the lathe, or the workpiece, to select them. Hang or store the

turning tools at the tail stock end of the lathe.

 DO NOT allow the tool to “bite” into the workpiece as the wood may split, or be thrown from the lathe.
 For spindle turning, always position the tool rest above the centre line of the lathe. DO NOT apply the turning tool to the workpiece below

the level of the rest itself.

 DO NOT run the lathe in the wrong direction. This could cause the turning tool to be thrown from your hands. The workpiece surface must

be moving downwards past the tool rest.
 WARNING! DO NOT remount a workpiece if the original centres of the workpiece have been altered or removed.
Having remounted a workpiece where NO alteration has been made to the original centres, the lathe must be set to the lowest speed
before turning it on.

 DO NOT mount a workpiece that contains splits, checks or loose knots.
 DO NOT switch on the lathe whilst the tool is in contact with the workpiece.

 WARNING! Keep alert. DO NOT allow familiarity (from frequent use) to cause a mistake. Remember, a careless second is sufficient to

inflict serious damage and/or personal injury.
