1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY. p 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 together with portable products that are
plugged into an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB. If in doubt consult a professional 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 a business premises, to be tested by
a qualified Electrician at least once a year by using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT).
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 and all electrical connections for wear and damage,
especially power connections, to ensure that none are 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 13Amp plug may require
a fuse smaller than 13Amps for certain products (subject to 1.1.10. below) see fuse rating at right.
1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the powered appliance by its power supply lead. Products such as
welders must not be pulled or carried by their output cables.
1.1.8. DO NOT pull power plugs from sockets by the power cable.
1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damage 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’.
After wiring, check there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected and that the wire 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. Some products require more than a 13Amp 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 a industrial round pin plug & 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 cable on the cable
reel is important. We recommend that at least 1.5mm
suitable for this product and for others that may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use of 2.5mm
1.2. GENERAL SAFETY
p WARNING! Disconnect the saw from the mains power, and ensure the cutting disc is at a complete standstill before attempting
to changing accessories, servicing or performing any maintenance.
3 Maintain the saw in good condition (use an authorised service agent).
3 Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. Non authorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
3 Locate the saw in an adequate working area for its function. Ensure the surface is flat and firm. Keep area clean and tidy and free from
unrelated materials, and ensure there is adequate lighting.
3 Keep the saw clean for best and safest performance and check moving parts alignment regularly.
p WARNING! Before each use check cutting disc is secure, and the disc is not worn or damaged, if so replace immediately.
3 Ensure replacement discs are not damaged in any way such as cracks, deformations or splinters etc. Also check the mounting flanges
to ensure they are not deformed, burred or notches. Damaged items must not be used as they may cause irregular pressure on the disc
which may cause the disc to break. DO NOT over tighten a disc and never tamper with a disc in order to adapt it to a different size holder.
3 Always use the correct disc suitable for the material being cut. Ensure the cutting disc’s maximum speed specification is higher than that
indicated on the machine data plate.
p WARNING! Keep guard and holding screws in place, tight and in good working order. Check regularly for damaged parts.
A guard or any other part that is damaged should be checked to ensure that it will operate properly and perform its intended function
before the tool is used. The safety guard is a mandatory fitting where saw is used in premises covered by the Health & Safety at Work Act.
3 Remove adjusting keys and wrenches from the machine and its vicinity before turning it on.
3 Ensure there are no flammable or combustible materials near the work area.
p WARNING! Wear approved safety eye protection, ear defenders, and gauntlets, and if dust is generated respiratory protection.
3 Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings, and other loose jewellery, and contain long hair.
3 Keep hands and body clear of the work table when operating the saw. Always clamp workpiece in base vice. NEVER hold a work piece by hand.
3 Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non slip shoes.
