WARNINGS

INSTRUCTIONS.

DANGEROUS.

Mains plug and mains lead

We have fitted this equipment with a standard mains plug. If you cut off the mains plug or fit a different type, destroy the old plug, as it is dangerous to insert it into a live power outlet. If a fuse is fitted to the plug, remove the fuse before throwing the plug away. Carefully follow the wiring instructions supplied with a new mains plug. Never use a fused mains plug without the fuse cover. If the mains lead becomes damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified person with an approved mains lead of the same type and rating to avoid a hazard. Make sure the mains lead cannot be walked on crushed, chafed or cut and that it is routed in such a way as to reduce the risk of a tripping hazard. Do not let the mains lead hang over edge of a table or counter or come into contact with hot surfaces. Do not immerse the mains lead or mains plug in water or any other liquid.

Mains plug wiring for the UK

In a re wirable plug the wires in the mains lead of this equipment must be connected as follows.

The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter L.

The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N.

There is no green or green and yellow wire. Do not connect anything To the Earth terminal which is marked E, or with a symbol.

You must make sure the mains lead is firmly secured under the cord clamp.
