Warning:
Never connect live or neutral wires to the earth terminal of the
plug. Only fit an approved plug with the correct rated fuse. If in doubt
consult a qualified electrician.
Note:
Always make sure the mains supply is of the correct voltage and the
correct fuse protection is used. In the event of replacing the fuse always
replace the fuse with the same value as the original.
Note:
If an extension lead is required in order to reach the mains supply;
ensure that this too is rated for the correct voltage and fuse rating.
