2.3A   Wiring the plug for a 230 Volts AC machine

 

 

 
As the colours

 of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not 

correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your 
plug, proceed as follows:- 
 

1.

 

The  wire

,  which  is,  coloured  green  and  yellow  must  be 

connected to the terminal in the plug, which is marked by the 
letter E, or by the safety earth symbol coloured green, or green 
and yellow. 

 
2.

 

The  wire

  coloured  blue  must  be  connected  to  the  terminal, 

which is marked with the letter N, (Neutral connector) 

 
3.

 

The  wire 

coloured  brown  must  be  connected  to  the  terminal, 

which is marked with the letter L, (Live connector) 

 
NOTE:

 Replacement of the mains cable must be done by a competent 

service engineer. 

 
 
 

2.4 

Adjusting the pressure 

 

 
This  press  is  fitted

  with  a  pressure-adjusting  unit,  which  enables  the 

heat  plate  assembly  to  be  raised  or  lowered  by  use  of  a  pressure 
adjustment knob located on the top of the machine: 
 

a)

 

To  increase  pressure

  or  to  use  thinner  materials  turn  knob 

clockwise. 
 

b) 

To  decrease  pressure 

or  to  raise  the  heat  plate  assembly  to 

enable  thicker  materials  to  be  used,  turn  the  adjustment  knob 
anticlockwise.

 

 
NOTE 
DO NOT adjust the pressure when the machine is clamped shut 
 
CAUTION 
Never increase the pressure to the extent of requiring undue force 
to lower the toggle/heat plate assembly into the lock position, as this 
will  place  excessive  stress  on  the  press  frame,  resulting  in 
permanent damage to the press. 

 

Please refer to page 15 showing the operation of the control unit.
