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-rewirable moulded plug and cable which incorporates a fuse, the value of which is 3 amps.
Should the fuse need to be replaced, an
approved BS1362 fuse must be used of the same
rating, marked thus . The fuse cover is detachable, never use the plug with the cover omitted.
If a replacement fuse cover is required, ensure it is of 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.
Green and Yellow - Earth, Blue - Neutral, 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 the plug which
is 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.
EXTENSION LEAD CHART:
Extension lead sizes shown assure a voltage drop of not more than 5% at rated load of tool.
