T5
-4-
Power Supply
The electric motor has been designed for one
voltage only. Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Machines marked for 230 volt can also be
operated from a 220 volt supply.
The T5 is double insulated in
accordance with EN 50144; therefore no
earth wire is required.
Mains Plug Replacement
(UK & Ireland only)
Always check the condition of the cable and plug
before starting with your work.
Should your mains plug need replacing and you
are competent to do this, proceed as instructed
below. If you are in doubt, contact an authorised
Trend repair agent or a qualified electrician.
I
Disconnect the plug from the supply.
I
Cut off the plug and dispose of it safely; a
plug with bared copper conductors is
dangerous if engaged in a live socket outlet.
I
Only fit 13 Amperes BS 1363A approved
plugs fitted with a 13 Amp A.S.T.A approved
BS 1362 fuse (1).
I
The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be
marked at the connection points of most good
quality plugs. Attach the wires to their
respective points in the plug (see below).
Brown is for Live (L) (2) and Blue is for
Neutral (N) (3).
I
Before replacing the top cover of the mains
plug ensure that the cable restraint (4) is
holding the outer sheath of the cable firmly
and that the two leads are correctly fixed at
the terminal screws.
Using an Extension Cable
I
If an extension cable is required, use an
approved triple core extension cable suitable
for the power input of this tool (see technical
data).
I
When using a cable reel, always unwind the
cable completely.
