IMPORTANT

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

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