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 any 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 plugs are fitted
with the correct capacity fuse. A 13 amp plug may require a fuse
smaller than 13 amps for certain products, see fuse rating below.
1.1.7. do not pull or carry the 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 below).
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 fitted with live (BroWn) and neutral
(Blue) wires only. double insulated products are always marked with
this symbol . To re-wire, connect the brown and blue wires as
indicated below. DO NOT connect the brown or blue to the earth
terminal.
1.1.10. some products require
more than a 13 amp
electrical supply. In such
a case, no plug will be
fitted.
you must contact
a qualified electrician to
ensure a 30 amp fused
supply is available. We
recommend you discuss
the installation of an
industrial round pin plug
and socket with your
electrician.
1.1.11.
cable extension reels.
When a cable extension
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.
