SAFETY

1. 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 multi-tool 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.

2. Insure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply.

3. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure that they are secure.

4. 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 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.

5. This product is fitted with a BS1363/A 13 Amp 3 pin plug.
   If the cable or plug is damaged during use, switch off 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 terminal ‘L’.
B) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
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.

5. Sealey recommend that repairs are carried out by a qualified electrician.
6. 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 ER1700PD has an electronic speed control, which requires a ‘clean’ 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.

2. GENERAL SAFETY
     WARNING! Ensure Health & Safety, local authority, and general workshop practice regulations are adhered to when using this equipment.

LEAD PAINT WARNING! Paint once contained lead as a traditional ingredient. Contact with the dust from the removal of such paint is toxic and must therefore be avoided. The following action must be taken before using machine:

1. User must determine potential hazard relating to age of paint to be removed. (Modern paints do not havelead content).

2. DANGER! Keep all persons and pets away from the working area. The following are particularly vulnerable to the effects of lead paint dust: Expectant women, babies and children.

3. We recommend personal protection by using the following safety items:
   A) Paint Spray Respirator. B) PE Coated Hooded Coverall. C) Latex Gloves.

4. Take adequate measures to contain paint dust, flakes and scrapings. Wear safety equipment, as in (3) above, and thoroughly clean all areas when task is complete.

6. Removing the backing pad

7. With the machine disconnected from the electrical supply, depress the spindle lock button (fig.5). Turn the backing pad by hand until the spindle lock is felt to engage. Turn the backing pad clockwise (viewed from above) to release and remove.

8. Attaching the lambswool bonnet

9. Turn the edge of the bonnet back (fig.4), then place the backing disc centrally on the `hook and loop fixing. When fixed, turn the edge of the bonnet back over the edge of the backing pad.

operation

WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply the safety instructions in Section 1.

1. Once connected to electrical supply, move the on/off switch to the ‘I’ position.

2. At this point at this point, the speed indicator will show ‘00’.

3. To start the machine, press the ‘+’ button; the polisher will run at 1000rpm.
   Each subsequent press will increase the speed by 500rpm up to a maximum of 3000rpm.

4. The speed indication needs to be multiplied by 100 to find the actual speed.
   NOTE: Each time the machine is switched off, the speed setting will revert to zero.

Maintenance

WARNING! Before attempting any maintenance ensure the unit is unplugged from the mains power supply.

1. Keep the machine clean and dry.
   DO NOT use abrasives or solvents to clean the unit. Ensure all external head screws are tight.

   WARNING! Wear approved safety eye protection and, if necessary, respiratory protection.

3. When not in use disconnect from mains supply and store in a safe, dry childproof location.

WARNING! – Risk of Hand Arm Vibration Injury.

This tool may cause Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome if its use is not managed adequately.
This tool is subject to the vibration testing section of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
This tool is to be operated in accordance with these instructions.
Measured vibration emission value (a): . . . . . . . . . . 3.36 m/s²
Uncertainty value (k): . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.5 m/s²
Please note that the application of the tool to a sole specialist task may produce a different average vibrationemission. We recommend that a specific evaluation of the vibration emission is conducted prior to commencing with a specialist task. A health and safety assessment by the user (or employer) will need to be carried out to determine the suitable duration of use for each tool.
NB: Stated Vibration Emission values are type-test values and are intended to be typical.
Whilst in use, the actual value will vary considerably from and depend on many factors.
uch factors include; the operator, the task and the inserted tool or consumable.
NB: ensure that the length of leader hoses is sufficient to allow unrestricted use, as this also helps to reduce vibration.
The state of maintenance of the tool itself is also an important factor, a poorly maintained tool will also increase the risk of Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome.
Health surveillance.
We recommend a programme of health surveillance to detect early symptoms of vibration injury so that management procedures can be modified accordingly. Personal protective equipment.
We are not aware of any personal protective equipment (PPE) that provides protection against vibration injury that may result from the uncontrolled use of this tool. We recommend a sufficient supply of clothing (including gloves) to enable the operator to remain warm and dry and maintain good blood circulation in fingers etc. Please note that the most effective protection is prevention, please refer to the Correct Use and Maintenance section in these instructions. Guidance relating to the management of hand arm vibration can be found on the HSC website www.hse.gov.uk – Hand-Arm Vibration at Work.
