2. Preparing for use
2.1 Electrical connection
Before connecting the machine to the power supply,
check that your supply voltage corresponds with that
marked on the rating label on the machine.
The power supply cord plus any extension leads should
not exceed 30m in total. The cross-section of any
extension cable wiring must be at least 2.5mm².
The supply cord for 230v models is fitted with a plug
containing a 13 amp fuse. Should the fuse require
replacement it must only be replaced by a 13 amp fuse
conforming to BS1362, and the fuse cover must be
refitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be
used until the correct replacement cover is fitted.
MPORTANT – If the supply cord is damaged, it must only
be replaced by a suitable cord available from the
manufacturer or and authorized service agent.
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

plug into a convenient socket outlet
•Place the dryer in a desired operating position. (see fig
1-5 page2)
1. Tilt Back – Tilt the Axial Fan backward on the four
curved molded legs at an angle to direct air for
elevated drying.
2. Upright – Set the axial Fan square with the handle
on the top to direct air across the room.
3. Tilt Forward – Tilt the Axial Fan forward on the
“standing legs at an angle to direct airflow along the
flow in front of the dryer.
4. Face Down – Set the Axial Fan on the four curved
molded legs with the “standing legs” facing up to
direct air straight down.
5. Power Pitch – place on 3º down angle leg.
6. Stack for Storage – Axial fans interlock and stack for

5. Storage
A
lways unplug and wipe down and dry the machine after
use. Wrap supply cord around the cable winder ensuring
that the plug is not trailing on the floor.

6. Maintenance
WARNING – Before undertaking maintenance
operation or adjustments switch off machine and
unplug from electricity supply.
The machine requires minimum maintenance apart from
the following checks by the operator.
•Supply cord – Regularly inspect sheath, plug and cord
anchorage for damage or loose connection.
•Body of the machine – Clean with a damp cloth.
•Air vents – Check for dust accumulation around the air
inlet and outlet vents and clean if necessary. Blocked
vents will cause the motor to overheat, and may lead to
premature failure. Warranty claims for this type of
damage will not be accepted.
•Motor overload cut-out – All machines are witted with
an automatic reset motor overload cut-out. The cut-out
will operate to protect the motor from overheating by
switching the machine off. Should the cut-out operate it
will reset automatically when the motor has cooled
sufficiently, usually after 15 – 30 minutes.
IMPORTANT – Should the machine fail to operate
contact EIP Customer Service Department for rapid
attention.
