ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

This vacuum cleaner has been designed for dry vacuum cleaning only and
must not be used to pick up any liquids.
Cable & Plug
These vacuum cleaners are Class 1 earthed machines and have 10 metres of 3 core supply cable with a moulded
on impact resistant 10amp 3 pin NZ/AUS plug.
Should the moulded on plug be damaged please follow this procedure:
Switch off supply at socket, remove damaged plug from socket, cut plug off from the supply cable.
Make sure the damaged plug is disposed of immediately so there is no chance of the damaged plug being used.
Fitting a Replacement Plug
Use only a 10amp NZ/AUS approved plug. A replacement plug must only be fitted by a qualified and competent
person. To fit proceed as follows:
1) Ensure that the lengths of wire to be fitted inside the plug have been cut to the correct length and the end
correctly prepared. When preparing the cable ends take care not to damage the outer sheath, or the insulation
surrounding the inner conductors.
2) Connect the blue (NEUTRAL) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter "N".
3) Connect the brown (LIVE) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter "L".
4) Connect the green/yellow (EARTH) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter "E".
5) Tighten all screws. Ensure that all conductor strands have entered into the terminal posts and that the mains
lead is securely held in place by the cable clamp.
6) Replace the top cover of the plug and secure.
Extension Cable
If using an extension cable 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. Always use the extension cable in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
