Cables

IMPORTANT

Use only 1.00mm2 size cable up to 40 metres length maxi- mum.

Maximum rating:

1.00mm2 size cable, 10 amps 250 volts AC.

YOUR PRODUCT IS SUPPLIED WITH AN ELECTRIC MAINS CABLE WIRED DIRECTLY INTO THE PRODUCT.

1.Flymo Mains Cables and Extension Cables are avail- able from your local Approved Service Centre.

2.Do not wire an extension cable directly to your product your- self. Please contact your local Approved Service Centre for further information on the connectors and kits available.

3.Only use extension cables specifically designed for outdoor use.

CONNECTORS

Flymo connectors are suitable for use with 2 core cable only. Under no circumstances should these connectors be used for earthed products.

All Flymo connectors and cables are of splashproof con- struction. They are not waterproof and must not be left out- side permanently nor should they be submerged or immersed in water. Do not let cable lay or trail through pools of water or splashed with water from hose pipes.

MAINS PLUG REPLACEMENT

•If the plug supplied is cut off it should be de- stroyed. There is an electric shock hazard if a cut

off plug is inserted into a 13 amp socket.

1.No earth required. Flymo products are double insulated to EN60335 and under no circumstances should an earth be connected to any part of the product.

2.Ensure the mains voltage suits your product.

3.IMPORTANT!

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

BLUE - NEUTRAL BROWN - LIVE The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the Terminal which is marked with the letter ʻNʼ or coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the Terminal which is marked with the letter ʻLʼ or coloured RED. 4.It is important that the outer sheath is clamped cor-

rectly into the 3-pin plug.

5.If in doubt consult your local Service Repairer or quali- fied electrician before the machine is used.

6.A 5 Amp fuse must be fitted to the Mains Plug. 7.The normal plug fuse and household fuse only protect

the electrical equipment and are not a safeguard against electrocution.

If your product is hard wired i.e. non-detachable mains electric cable, a conversion kit and extension cable is available from all Approved Service Centres which can be found in your local Yellow Pages.
