Hitachi AX-M40MP3 Instruction Manual page 3

IMPORTANT
The mains lead on this equipment may be supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of which
is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS1362
fuse must be used of the same rating. If the fuse cover is detachable never use the plug with the cover omitted.
If a replacement fuse cover is required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug.
Fuse covers are available from your dealer.
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your
home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead
or consult your dealer.
Should it be necessary to change the mains plug, this must be carried out by a competent person, preferably a
qualified electrician.
If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that you dispose of it immediately, having first
removed the fuse, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.
IMPORTANT
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue : NEUTRAL
Brown : LIVE
As these colours may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows:
The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or
BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured
BROWN or RED.
On no account connect either of these wires to the terminal marked E or by the earth symbol or coloured
green or green and yellow.
Alternatively, this equipment may be supplied with a rewireable plug already fitted, which may be removed if not
suitable and an alternative fitted in accordance with the preceding instructions.
