you are competent to do this, proceed as
instructed below. If you are in doubt,
contact an authorised repair agent or a
qualified electrician.
Disconnect the plug from the supply and

remove the fuse from the plug.
Cut off the plug and dispose of it safely; a plug

with bared copper conductors is dangerous if
engaged in a live socket outlet.

x
fitted with a 5 A fuse (1).
The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be
x
marked at the connection points of most good
quality plugs. Attach the wires to their
respective points in the plug (see above).
Brown is for Live (L) (2), blue is for Neutral (N) (4).
Before replacing the top cover of the mains
x
plug ensure that the cable restraint (3) is
holding the outer sheath of the cable firmly
and that the leads are correctly fixed at the
terminal screws.
If the plug has a fuse cover, make sure that the
x
fuse cover is fitted. Do not use the plug if the
fuse cover is missing or damaged.
Never use a light socket.

HP126F2/HP146F2 - Removing and fitting the
chuck (fig. D)
The chuck on these models can be easily removed
and refitted. When your project entails both
drilling and screwdriving, fit a screwriver bit in the
spindle and a drill bit in the chuck: you will then
only need to remove the chuck for screwdriving
and refit it for drilling. The screwdriver bit can be
left in the spindle while drilling. You can also fit
drill bits with a hexagonal shaft in this way.
