IMPORTANT NOTE

The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a
moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the
fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug. If it requires
replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same
rating must be used.

Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted if the
cover is detachable. If a replacement fuse cover is
required, it must be of the same colour as the pin face of

extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance.

However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug,
remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the
plug. Do not connect the plug to a mains socket, as there
is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.
