Appendix
Replacing the fitted plug
Important
The mains lead for this machine is fitted with a standard (BS 1363) 13 amp plug and has
a 13 amp fuse. When you change or examine the fuse, you must re-fit the correct 13 amp
fuse. You then need to replace the fuse cover. If you have lost the fuse cover, do not use
the plug until you get another fuse cover from the people from whom you bought the
machine.
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, get rid 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
