ELECTRICAL SAFETY.  WARNING! It is the user's responsibility to check the following:

You must check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure they are safe before using. You must inspect power supply leads,

plugs and all electrical connections for wear and damage. You must ensure the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of

appropriate safety devices. An RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) should be incorporated in the main distribution board.

We recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all electrical products. It is particularly important to use an RCD

with portable products that are plugged into an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB. If in 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.
