WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
A. MODELS FITTED WITH 13AMP PLUG
Welders fitted with a standard 13 amp BS 1363 plug, should be connected to a to a
230 volt (50Hz) domestic electrical supply and
we strongly recommend that this be
done via a Residual Current Device (RCD).
IMPORTANT: If the welder is fitted with a plug which is moulded onto the electric
cable (i.e. non- re-wirable) please note:
1. The plug must be thrown away if it is cut from the electric cable. There is a
danger of electric shock if it is subsequently inserted into a socket outlet.
2. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
3. Should you wish to replace a detachable fuse carrier, ensure that the correct
replacement is used (as indicated by marking or colour code). Replacement
fuse covers can be obtained from your local dealer or most electrical stockists.
