Replacing the Fitted Plug
Important
The mains lead for this machine is fitted with a standard (BS 1363) 13 amp
plug and has a 3 amp fuse. When you change or examine the fuse, you
must fit the correct 3 amp fuse and fuse cover. If you have lost the fuse
cover, do not use the plug until you get another fuse cover from the people
you bought the machine from.
The 13 amp plug is the most widely used type in the UK and should be
suitable. However, some buildings (mainly old ones) do not have normal 13
amp plug sockets. You need to buy a suitable plug adaptor. Do not remove
the moulded plug.
Warning
If you cut off the moulded plug, dispose of it straight away.
You cannot rewire the plug, or you may get an electric shock if
you put it into a socket.
Important warning: You must earth this machine

You must have a 3 amp fuse in the plug, adaptor, or at the distribution
board.
