1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 are 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 below.
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.
Immediately have any faulty item repaired or replaced 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.

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.
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 1.5mm², 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 2.5mm² section cable.
GENERAL SAFETY
WARNING! Ensure that all relevant Health and Safety, Local
Authority, Control of Substances Hazardous to Health
(COSHH) and General Workshop Practice Regulations are
strictly adhered to when using this equipment.
Familiarise yourself with the applications, limitations and
hazards peculiar to the dust free vacuum system.
WARNING! Disconnect dust free vacuum system from mains
power and air supply before changing accessories, servicing
or performing maintenance.
Maintain the dust free vacuum system 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 dust free vacuum system in a suitable work area.
Keep area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials.
Ensure there is adequate lighting.
WARNING! Ensure correct air pressure is used, maintained,
and not exceeded for the sander attachment.
The air supply should be adequate for a minimum of 10.6cfm
free air delivery to the sanding tool. There should be a
minimum of 13cfm free air delivered to the air inlet of the dust
free vacuum system. We recommend the use of a 3HP (or
more) compressor.
Air supply must be delivered through a 3/8" internal diameter
air hose. If you use a 5/16" internal diameter the performance
of the tool may suffer.
Keep air hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check air
hose for wear before each use, and ensure that all connections
are secure.
Before each use check attached tool for condition. If worn or
damaged replace immediately.
WARNING! The maximum wattage of any electrical tool
operated from the dust free vacuum system must not exceed
1200 watts.
Ensure there are no flammable or combustible materials near
the work area.
WARNING! Always wear appropriate approved eye, face, mask,
ear defenders, or protective clothing according to task being
undertaken.
Keep hands and body clear of the sanders working parts
when operating the dust free vacuum system.
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the
working area, and DO NOT allow untrained persons to
operate the dust free vacuum system.
DO NOT use the dust free vacuum system for any purpose
other than that for which it is designed.
DO NOT pull or yank the electrical leads, air hoses or vacuum
extraction hoses attached to the dust free vacuum system.
