5.3 Connection to the Power Supply
This appliance is supplied with an approved plug and
cable for your safety. The value of the fuse fitted is
marked on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need
replacing, ensure the substitute is of the correct rating,
approved to BS 1363/A and ASTA or BS Kite marked.
ASTA
BSI
Replacement of the fuse should only be performed by
suitably qualified personnel.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by Draper Tools, an authorised service agent or similarly
qualified personnel in order to avoid a hazard.
The damaged or incomplete plug, when cut from the
cable, shall be disabled to prevent connection to a live
electrical outlet.
This product is Class I
†
and is designed for connection to
a power supply matching that detailed on the rating label
and compatible with the plug fitted.
If an extension lead is required, use an approved and
compatible lead rated for this appliance. Follow all the
instructions supplied with the extension lead.
If the plug must be connected in an outside environment,
ensure that the outlet or extension lead is suitably
designed for outside use.
Important: Always follow the extension lead instructions
regarding maximum load while the cable is wound. If in
doubt, unwind the entire cable. A coiled extension lead
generates heat which could melt the lead and cause a
fire.
Important: This product MUST be used with a residual
current device (RCD), e.g. Draper Stock Nos. 69307 or
89301.
ALWAYS read the manufacturer instructions for
any RCD use. For your safety, if an extension cable is
used, the RCD
MUST be installed at the power outlet and
not into the extension lead.
†
Earthed: This product requires an earth connection to
protect against electric shock from accessible
conductive parts in the event of a failure of the basic
insulation.
5.4 Residual Risk
