The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked at the connection points of most good quality plugs. Attach the wires to their respective points in the plug (see above). Brown is for Live (L) (2), blue is for Neutral (N) (4).

Before replacing the top cover of the mains plug ensure that the cable restraint (3) is holding the outer sheath of the cable firmly and that the leads are correctly fixed at the terminal screws.

If the plug has a fuse cover, make sure that the fuse cover is fitted. Do not use the plug if the fuse cover is missing or damaged.

Never use a light socket.

Using an extension cable

Always use an approved extension cable suitable for the power input of this appliance (see rating plate). The extension cable must be suitable for outdoor use.

Before use, inspect the cable for signs of damage, wear and ageing. Replace the extension cable if damaged or defective.

When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.

Take care to keep the cable away from the cutting line. Always be aware of the position of the cable.
