Warning
This apparatus must be earthed for your safety.
To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug must be
inserted only into a standard three-pin power point which
is effectively earthed through the normal household wir-
ing.
Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-
core and be correctly wired to provide connection to earth.
Wrongly wired extension cords are a major cause of fatal-
ities.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does
not imply that the power point is earthed and that the
installation is completely safe.
For your safety, if you have any doubt about the effective
earthing of the power point, consult a qualified electrician.
