This jigsaw may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it becomes
necessary to change the fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be
refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the plug must not be
used until a suitable replacement is fitted. If the plug has to be
changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or becomes
damaged, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted,
following the wiring instructions shown below. The plug that is
removed must be disposed of safely. Insertion into a 13 amp socket
could cause an electrical hazard.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:- Blue = neutral; Brown = live.
If the colours of the wires in
the mains lead
of the jigsaw,
do not correspond with the
markings on the terminals
of your plug, proceed as
follows.
The blue wire must be
connected to the terminal
marked N, or coloured black.
The brown wire must be
connected to the terminal
marked L, or coloured red.
