POWER SUPPLY
CONNECTING YOUR MACHINE TO THE POWER SUPPLY:
(230V ONLY)
To eliminate the possibility of an electric shock your machine has been fitted
with a BS
approved, non rewireable moulded plug and cable which incorporates a fuse, the value
of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug. If the plug is marked with the
symbol and the fuse needs replacing, an approved BS1362 fuse must be used of
the same amp rating. If the plug is not marked, a fuse with the symbol,
BS Kitemark, or both and BS Kitemark, of the same amp rating should be used.
The fuse cover is detachable, never use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement
fuse cover is required, ensure it is the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the
plug (i.e. red). Fuse covers are available from your Draper Tools stockist.
If the fitted plug is not suitable, it should be cut off and destroyed. *The end of the cable
should now be suitably prepared and the correct type of plug fitted. See below.
*WARNING:
A plug with bare flexible wires exposed is hazardous if engaged in a live power socket
outlet.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
The mains lead is coloured Green and Yellow - Earth, Blue – Neutral and Brown – Live.
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in your
plug marked with the letter ‘E’ or by the earth symbol or coloured green or green
and yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with
the letter ‘N’ or coloured black or blue.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter ‘L’ or coloured red or brown.
