ELECTRICAL SAFETY

The electric motor has been designed for one
voltage only. Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
This tool is double insulated; therefore no
earth wire is required.
Mains plug replacement (U.K. & Ireland only)
Should your mains plug need replacing and you
x
are competent to do this, proceed as instructed
below. If you are in doubt, contact an authorised
repair agent or a qualified electrician.
Disconnect the plug from the supply and
x
remove the fuse from the plug.
Cut off the plug and dispose of it safely;
x
a plug with bared copper conductors is
dangerous if engaged in a live socket outlet.
Only fit 13 Amperes BS1363A approved plugs
x
fitted with the correctly rated fuse (1).
The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be
x
marked at the connection points of most good
quality plugs. Attach the wires to their
respective points in the plug (see above).
Brown is for Live (L) (2), blue is for Neutral (N) (4).
Before replacing the top cover of the mains
x
plug ensure that the cable restraint (3) is
holding the outer sheath of the cable firmly
and that the leads are correctly fixed at the
terminal screws.
