Mains Plug Replacement
(UK & Ireland only)
Always check the condition of the cable and plug
before starting with your work.
Should your mains plug need replacing and you
are competent to do this, proceed as instructed
below. If you are in doubt, contact an authorised
Trend repair agent or a qualified electrician.
n Disconnect the plug from the supply.
n Cut off the plug and dispose of it safely; a plug
with bared copper conductors is dangerous if
engaged in a live socket outlet.
n Only fit 13 Amperes BS 1363A approved
plugs fitted with a 13 Amp A.S.T.A approved
BS 1362 fuse (1).
n The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be
marked at the connection points of most good
quality plugs. Attach the wires to their respec-
tive points in the plug (see below). Brown is
for Live (L) (2) and Blue is for Neutral (N) (3).
n Before replacing the top cover of the mains
plug ensure that the cable restraint (4) is hold-
ing the outer sheath of the cable firmly and
that the two leads are correctly fixed at the
terminal screws.
WARNING: Never use a light socket.
Never connect the live (L) or neutral (N)
wires to the earth pin marked E or .

proved triple core extension cable suitable for
the power input of this tool (see technical data).
The minimum conductor size is 1.5mm
