Hi, at work I regularly maintain and repair both Bosch and Makita hand grinders, they take an awful lot of punishment and can go through brushes within a week, the cable can be damaged within a day. Ergo it is something that requires regular repair.
So once I have repaired them, often changing the mains lead our H&S manager would like them tested with our Seaward Supernova PAT tester.
No problem we though, we are competent to fix and repair them, we test electrical appliances every day.
However this old beast of a tester has not been used for years, our PAT testing is done by an outside company. Even our long term electrician cannot remember how to use it.
All we want to do is test grinders, get it to say PASS after doing the appropriate class 2 tests, we cannot print the passed labels as the printer was lost years ago the rest we will record in a book.
But what tests should it have?
What settings should each test use?
Can anyone that is familiar with the Supernova Elite please list what settings to use etc?
