3.3. ELECTRICAL SAFETY IN RELATION TO BATTERY CHARGERS
 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.
3.3.1. 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.
3.3.2. 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.
3.3.3. 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.
3.3.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
3.3.5. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections
to ensure that none are loose.
3.3.6. 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.
3.3.7. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
3.3.8. DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
3.3.9. 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.
Double insulated products, which are always marked with this symbol , are fitted with live (brown) and neutral (blue) wires only.
To rewire, connect these two wires as indicated above - DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.

4. CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! YOU MUST FOLLOW THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 IMPORTANT WARRANTY INFORMATION:
The battery pack fitted to this cordless tool is considered to be a consumable item and its ability
to accept charge will reduce over time. We will warranty it against mechanical and electrical
defect for a period of one year - this does not cover fair wear and tear. If the battery is not prop
erly charged before first use, or regularly conditioned, its capacity will diminish. Under these
circumstances we will not replace the battery pack even if it is less than one year old.
IMPORTANT! Only recharge POWERSTARTS with the AC charger provided. The charger is
automatic and does not require the user to monitor the progress of the charge.
Furthermore, whenever the Powerstart is not in use it should be connected to the
charger, failure to do this will invalidate the warranty.
4.1. Reading the power level indicators
The charge level of the POWERSTART200 and 350 can be seen at any time by pressing the
test button (fig.1.A) and noting the meter (fig.1.E) reading.
When the needle is in the green sector the unit is fully charged and is ready to be used.
The red sector indicates that immediate charging is required and the yellow sector indicates
that recharging is advisable.
4.1.1. For the POWERSTART500 and 900 models press and hold the test button, the LED's (fig.2.E)
from left to right, four orange (low power) and six green will light up one by one and stop at the
level of charge, the further to the right the higher the charge.
