Factory fitted molded mains plug
AC voltage selection
1. The mains plug contains a fuse. For replacement, use only a 5-
Amp ASTA-approved (BS1362) fuse.
This unit operates on 110-120 or 220-240 volts AC . The AC volt-
age selector switch under the motor pulley cover is set to the
voltage that prevails in the area to which the unit is shipped. Be-
fore connecting the power cord to your AC outlet, make sure that
the setting position of this switch matches your line voltage. If
not, it must be set to your voltage in accordance with the following
direction.
2. The fuse cover must be refitted when replacing the fuse in the
molded plug.
3. Do not cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug
fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the
cable is too short to reach a power outlet, then obtain an ap-
propriate safety approved extension lead or adapter, or con-
sult your dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the fuse and
dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock
hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.
Note:
Our warranty does not cover damage caused by excessive line
voltage due to improper setting of the AC voltage selector switch.
