parts should be used.
• The supply cable fitted to your machine is of two core construction. Where a moulded-on plug is not fitted
the leads at the end of the cable are not prepared for a specific type of plug.
As a general guide to fitting any plug
• Ensure the lengths of wire inside the plug are prepared correctly.
• Connections should be firmly made after all conductor strands are entered into the terminal posts.
• When preparing the cable ends take care not to damage the outer sheath, or the insulation surrounding
the inner conductors.

Extension Cable
• If using an extension cable at any time always ensure that the insulation sheath is in good condition and
is not damaged in any way.
• Make sure that the socket is fitted to the extension cable correctly, if in doubt have it checked by a Qualified
electrician.
Double Insulation
• Your vacuum cleaner is double insulated. This means that all external parts are electrically insulated
from the mains. This is done by placing insulation barriers between the electrical and mechanical
components, making it unnecessary for the cleaner to be earthed.
