You may obtain an RCD by contacting your local Sealey stockist. If the product is used in the course of business duties, it must be maintained in a safe condition and routinely PAT (Portable Appliance Test) tested.

For 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.
