ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
This appliance has been designed for dry vacuum cleaning only and must not be used
to pick up any liquids.
WARNING:
This vacuum cleaner must be earthed. It must NOT be permanently wired into the electrical
supply.
WARNING:
Do not use any type of extension lead or cord. This vacuum cleaner must only be plugged
into a suitable wall mounted outlet socket.
WARNING:
Do not unplug this vacuum cleaner from the electrical supply when the vacuum motor is
running (except in case of emergency).
Cable & Plug
This vacuum cleaner is a Class I (Earthed) appliance and has 10 metres of 3 core mains cable. The supply
cord should be regularly examined for signs of damage. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, our service agent, if so appointed, or a similar qualifi ed and competent person in order
to avoid a hazard. Please contact the manufacturer or our service agent for further information. The cable
is fi tted with a standard (non ATEX) approved plug suitable for your socket (13amp 3pin for UK 230V,
16amp round pin for Europe 230V and 16amp yellow round pin for UK 110V). The fi tted plug is suitable
for standard supply sockets that are situated outside the zoned area. If the supply socket is situated within
the zoned area it should be ATEX approved. The plug on this appliance should be removed and changed for
a plug that is ATEX approved. Make sure that the plug that has been removed is disposed of immediately
so there is no chance of the plug being used. The replacement plug must be fi tted by a competent person
following the fi tting instructions provided by the plug manufacturer. Please note the following:
1)
Ensure that the lengths of wire to be fi tted inside the plug have been cut to the correct length and the
end correctly prepared. When preparing the cable ends take care not to damage the outer sheath, or
the insulation surrounding the inner conductors.
2)
Connect the blue (NEUTRAL) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter “N”
or coloured black.
3)
Connect the brown (LIVE) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter “L” or
coloured red.
4)
Connect the green/yellow (EARTH) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter
“E” or coloured green.
5)
Tighten all screws. Ensure that all conductor strands have entered into the terminal posts and that
the mains lead is securely held in place by the cable clamp.
Motor
110 volt models are rated at 0.9kw in accordance with BSEN60335-2-69
230 volt models are rated at 1.0kw in accordance with BSEN 60335-2-69.
The motor used in this appliance is a non sparking electronically commutated brushless motor and consumes
a maximum running current of 9 amps (230v models) and 13 amps (110v models). The electrical supply
should be fi tted with a fuse/protective device suitable for the current demand.
The electronic control of the motor limits the starting current to the above values. The motor is thermally
protected. There is a thermal switch to protect the windings in the motor and there is a thermal switch
to protect the electronic control circuit board. If your vacuum cleaner cuts-out please refer to page 8
“Loss of Suction and Thermal Switch”. The cut-out switches will automatically reset when the motor
temperature drops.
