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 use. Inspect power supply leads, plugs, and all electrical connections for wear and damage. Sealey recommends 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.

For electrical safety information, the following information must be read and understood.

Ensure that the insulation on all cables and 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 it 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 and 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.
- Sealey recommends that repairs be carried out by a qualified electrician.
- NOTE: The MS900PS has an electronic speed control, which requires a ‘clean’ and stable power supply. A 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 that is plugged into the cable reel will be protected. The section of the cores of the cable is important. We suggest a 1.5mm2 section as a minimum but to be 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 a 2.5mm2 section cable.
