ESSENTIAL INSTRUCTIONS

(Only applicable to UK)

GU 305, GU 355, GU 355-DUAL, GU 455-DUAL is designed, developed and rigorously tested to function effi ciently and safely when properly maintained and used in accordance with the fol- lowing instructions. These instructions have been prepared with safety and effi ciency paramount.

The MACHINE OPERATOR must be trained by a suitably quali-

fied instructor, and be made aware of the relevant regulations and legislation currently in force at the time of use.

CAUTION - This machine MUST NOT be used in explosive or infl ammable atmospheres or where such atmospheres are likely to be produced by the presence of volatile liquid or infl ammable gas or vapour.

CAUTION - In no circumstances should the power supply cord be wrapped around fi ngers or any part of the operators person. CAUTION - The electrical supply plug must not be subjected to undue stress by pulling on the power supply cord.

Your MACHINE must only be connected to an electrical supply of the same voltage and frequency as indicated on the rating plate. Ensure that the plug fi tted to the end of the power supply cord is suitable for your supply socket, if not refer to the information con- tained in ’Electrical Connections’, or consult a qualifi ed electrician. The electrical installation from which the supply is drawn must be maintained to current Institute of Electrical Engineers wiring regulations.

REGULAR SERVICING and INSPECTION of your machine must be carried out by suitably qualifi ed personnel in accordance with relevant legislation and regulations. In particular, electrical tests for earth continuity, insulation resistance, and condition of the

flexible cord should be checked frequently. In the event of any defect the machine MUST be withdrawn from service, completely checked and repaired.

Trained Service Engineers will be pleased to carry out on site ser- vicing on a regular or as requested basis, to ensure the continuing safety and effi ciency of your machine.

DOUBLE-INSULATED MACHINES

IMPORTANT

240 volt 50 Hz. machines are fi tted with a 13 amp. 3 pin moulded plug. the plug is fi tted with a 13 amp. detachable fuse. The correct replacement for the fuse is identifi ed by marking or colour coding. Only fuses that are ASTA approved to BS 1362 should be fi tted. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fi tted. Replacement fuse covers are available at any electrical retail outlet.

If the available socket outlet is not suitable for the plug supplied, the plug must be cut off and an appropriate plug fi tted. The plug thus cut off MUST BE DESTROYED for safety reasons before being disposed of.

Machines built for other voltages and frequencies are not normally supplied with a fi tted plug.

If it is necessary to fi t a plug, the wires in this power supply cord are coloured in accordance with the following code:

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter ‘N’ or is coloured black or blue. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter ‘L’ or is coloured red or brown. If the plug to be fi tted does not conform to the above notation then consult a qualifi ed electrician.
