1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.2.
GENERAL SAFETY.
WARNING! Disconnect the saw from the mains power, and ensure that the cutting disc is at a complete standstill before attempting
to change accessories, service or perform any maintenance.
Maintain the saw in good condition (use an authorised service agent).
Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
Locate the saw in a suitable work area. Ensure that the surface is flat and firm. Keep the area clean and tidy and free from unrelated
materials, and ensure that there is adequate lighting.
Keep the saw clean for best and safest performance and check moving parts alignment regularly.
WARNING! Before each use check that the cutting disc is secure and that it is not worn or damaged.
NOTE: Only persons qualified under the “Abrasive Wheels Regulations” holding a current grinding wheel certificate may change discs
(wheels).
Ensure that replacement discs are not damaged in any way - cracks, deformations or splinters etc. Also check the mounting flanges
to ensure that they are not deformed, burred or chipped. Damaged flanges must not be used as they may cause uneven 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.
Always use a disc suitable for the material being cut. Ensure that the cutting discs specified maximum speed is equal to, or higher than,
that indicated on the machine data plate. Once mounted on the saw, test the disc before use by facing the cut-off saw in a safe direction
(point disc away from yourself, others and vulnerable items) and running it for a short time.
DO NOT use circular saw blades.
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 must be repaired or replaced before next use. The safety guard is a mandatory fitting when
the saw is used on premises covered by the Health & Safety at Work Act.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches from the machine and its vicinity before turning it on.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS.
USE THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE

1.1.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
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 that all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, are 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. Have any faulty item repaired or
replaced immediately by a qualified electrician. When a BS 1363/A 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 the wires as indicated above -
DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.
1.1.10. Products which require more than 13 amps are supplied without a plug. In this case you must contact a qualified electrician to ensure
that a suitably rated supply is available. We recommend that you discuss the installation of an industrial round pin plug and socket with
your electrician.
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 1.5mm
2
, 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 2.5mm
2
section cable.
