Electrical safety

The electric motor has been designed for one
voltage only. Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Your D WALT tool is double insulated in
#
E
accordance with EN 50144; therefore
no earth wire is required.
115 V units have to be operated via
@
a failsafe isolating transformer with an
earth screen between the primary and
secondary winding.
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
D WALT repair agent or a qualified electrician.
E
● 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.
