SAFETY
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! It is the user’s responsibility to check the following:
Check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure that they are safe
before using. Inspect power supply leads, plugs and all electrical connections
for wear and damage. Sealey recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is
used with all electrical products. You may obtain an RCD by contacting your
local Sealey stockist.
If the sander/polisher is used in the course of business duties, it must be
maintained in a safe condition and routinely PAT (Portable Appliance Test)
tested.
Electrical safety information, it is important that the following information
is read and understood.
-
Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply.
-
Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure that they are secure.
-
Important: Ensure that the voltage rating on the appliance suits the power supply to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse – see fuse rating in these instructions.
DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable. Remove the plug from the socket by maintaining a firm grip on the plug.
DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Ensure that any faulty item is repaired or replaced immediately by a qualified electrician. -
This product is fitted with a BS1363/A 13 Amp 3 pin plug.
If the cable or plug is damaged during use, switch the electricity supply and remove from use.
Replace a damaged plug with a BS1363/A 13 Amp 3 pin plug. If in doubt contact a qualified electrician.
Class II products are wired with live (brown) and neutral (blue) only are marked with the Class II symbol;
A) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminalL’. B) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminalN’.
C) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires and ensure that all wires have been correctly connected.
Ensure that the cable outer sheath extends inside the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.
Sealey recommend that repairs are carried out by a qualified electrician.
NOTE: The MS900PS has an electronic speed control, which requires aclean’ and stable power supply. Normal 230V mains supply is suitable. However, the output from many petrol driven generators may not be suitable for this tool.Inverter’ type power supplies provide a much more stable output, and should present no problem. -
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. We suggest 1.5mm2 section as a minimum 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.

Note. The following maintenance must only be carried out by a technically qualified person or an authorised Sealey service agent. -
Check carbon brushes by removing each side screw (fig.4). Check to see if the brushes are worn or cracked. If so, the brushes must be replaced to avoid sparking and damage to the armature. Always change brushes as a pair. Use only genuine spare parts as these are specifically designed for the machine. Failure to do so may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
-
After each 500 hours of use replace the gear head grease to prevent gear wear and possible drive failure.
