Mains plug replacement
(U.K. & Ireland only)
• Should your mains plug need replacing and
you are competent to do this, proceed as
instructed below. If you are in doubt, contact
an authorized FÖRCH repair agent or a
qualified electrician.
• Disconnect the plug from the supply.
• Cut off the plug and dispose of it safely; a plug
with bared copper conductors is dangerous if
engaged in a live socket outlet.
• Only fit 13 Amperes BS1363A approved plugs
fitted with the correctly rated fuse (1).
• 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) (4).
• Before replacing the top cover of the mains
plug ensure that the cable restraint (3) is
holding the outer sheath of the cable firmly and
that the two leads are correctly fixed at the
terminal screws.
Never use a light socket.
Never connect the live (L) or neutral
(N) wires to the earth pin marked E or
.
For 115 V units with a power rating exceeding
1500 W, we recommend to fit a plug to BS4343
standard.
Using an extension cable
If an extension cable is required, use an
approved extension cable suitable for the power
input of this tool (see technical data). The
minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm
When using a cable reel, always unwind the
cable completely.
