FOR USERS IN THE UK, EIRE, MALTA AND CYPRUS ONLY.

If your sewing machine is fitted with a 3 pin non-rewireable BS plug then please read the following.

IMPORTANT

If the available socket outlet is not suitable for the plug supplied with this equipment, it should be cut off and an appropriate three pin plug fitted. With alternative plugs an approved fuse must be fitted in the plug.

NOTE: The plug severed from the main leads must be destroyed as a plug with bared flexible cords is hazardous if engaged in a live socket outlet. In the event of replacing the plug fuse, use a fuse approved by ASTA to BS 1362, i.e. carrying the ASA mark, rating as marked on plug.

Always replace the fuse cover. Never use plugs with the fuse cover removed.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH THE LET- TER ‘E’, BY THE EARTH SYMBOL OR COLORED GREEN OR YELLOW.

The wires in these main leads are colored in accordance with the following code:

BlueNeutral

BrownLive

As the colours of the wiring in the main lead of this appli- ance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘N’ or col- oured black or blue.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘L’ or coloured red or brown.
