fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point,
you should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance. However, if there is
no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do not connect the plug to
a mains socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord. Never attempt to insert bare wires
directly into a mains socket. A plug and fuse must be used at all times.
