CONNECTING YOUR MACHINE TO THE POWER SUPPLY: (240V)
To eliminate the possibility of an electric shock your machine has been fitted with a BS
approved, non rewireable moulded plug and cable which incorporates a fuse, the value
of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced an
approved BS1362 fuse must be used of the same rating, marked thus .
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 (i.e. red). Fuse covers are available from your Draper Tools stockist.
If the fitted plug is not suitable, it should be cut off and destroyed. *The end of the cable
should now be suitably prepared and the correct type of plug fitted. See below.
*WARNING:
A plug with bare flexible wires exposed is hazardous if engaged in a live power socket
outlet.
WARNING:THIS APPLIANCE IS DOUBLE INSULATED.
Blue – Neutral, Brown – Live.
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with
the letter ‘N’ or coloured black or blue.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter ‘L’ or coloured red or brown.
CONNECTING YOUR MACHINE TO THE POWER SUPPLY (110V)
To eliminate the possibility of an electric shock your machine has been fitted with a BS
approved, rewireable plug and cable. If the fitted plug is not suitable, it should be
removed, the end of the cable should be suitably prepared and the correct type of plug
fitted. See below.
WARNING:THIS APPLIANCE IS DOUBLE INSULATED.
Single phase 110 volt machines must be connected using the relevant coding and
matching the colour of the flexible cable to that of the plug. The procedure is as follows:
1. Connect brown coloured core to plug terminal marked letter ‘L’ (live).
2. Connect blue colour core to plug terminal marked letter ‘N’ (neutral).

MAINTENANCE &
PART REPLACEMENT
Regular inspection and cleaning reduces the
necessity for maintenance operations and will keep
your tool in good working condition. The tool
bearings and gears are life-long lubricated, however
it is advised to check the condition of the grease in
the head every 100 hours, if necessary replace the
grease. The motor must be correctly ventilated during
tool operation. For this reason avoid blocking the air
inlets with hands. After use disconnect the tool from
the power supply and clean carefully, use compressed
air through ventilation slots.
DISPOSAL
At the end of the machine’s working life, or when it
can no longer be repaired, ensure that it is disposed
of according to the standard regulations of the
country in which it is being used, and that the
disposal operation is carried out by specialized
personnel following authorized guidelines.
In all circumstances:
– Do not abandon in the environment;
– Do not dispose of together with solid urban waste
products;
– Contact the special recycling centres.
WARNING
Disconnect the plug from the power supply socket
before replacing any parts.
BRUSHES
The brushes must be replaced after approx. 150-200
working hours, or if they are less then 5-6mm in
length.
WARNING
For correct tool operation always change the brushes
in pairs, not separately. The use of original Draper
spare parts is recommended. After having fitted new
brushes allow the motor to run for at least 5 minutes
without load for the brushes to bed.
IMPORTANT:
This operation should only be performed by an
authorized person.
