Section 7.1 1-Phase Power Supply
230 V motor. Although the motors supplied with this machine will run safely on a 13A domestic ring main, on
starting the machine a high current of very short duration is drawn, which could cause your 13A fuse to blow. If
this persists we recommend to have the machine connected to a 16A separate radial circuit. Ensure a suitably
sized fuse matching the motor is used.
This work should be undertaken only by a qualified electrician!
