Replacing the Fitted Plug
Important
The mains lead for this machine is fitted with a standard (BS 1363) 13 amp plug and has a 3 amp fuse. When you change or examine the fuse, you must fit the correct 3 amp fuse and fuse cover. If you have lost the fuse cover, do not use the plug until you get another fuse cover from the people you bought the machine from.
The 13 amp plug is the most widely used type in the UK and should be suitable. However, some buildings (mainly old ones) do not have normal 13 amp plug sockets. You need to buy a suitable plug adaptor. Do not remove the moulded plug.
Warning
If you cut off the moulded plug, dispose of it straight away. You cannot rewire the plug, or you may get an electric shock if
you put it into a socket.
Important warning: You must earth this machine
