plug that:
• is rated for use with mains voltage
• is equipped with a grounding pin/connection
• complies with any applicable National or Local electrical regulations.
• is fitted with a correctly rated fuse (applicable to UK-style plugs only – see page 30.)
WARNING: Never attempt to fit or use a plug without a ground or earth pin/connection.
