Table Saw with no power lead - and odd connection

[wcndave]

Hi, probably being just "new to decent machines" here, but i bought a Scheppach 2010 table saw, and was disappointed when got home after 3 hours of driving to discover no power lead.

worse, it seems to have an unfamiliar connection with 2 pins sticking out and a hole.

any idea what this is, and where i can get one? - B&Q would be nice cos don't want to drive 3 hours for a cable (why didn't the chap in the shop tell me!)

Also i tend to run my router table, belt sander and planer / thicker without using vacuum extraction as my workshop is only 7' x 4' - is this really a problem if i am either working on small jobs, or take them outside?

Does it look like it may fit this?

If so its a 110v connector I thinks, you can buy converter boxes from B&Q I'm sure. I'm not 100% sure on that I know you can get funny connectors for some machines, someone will be along with more knowledge.

You should defiantly invest in some sort of high pressure fine filter extractor inless you want to die of some sort of lung issue.


Ive just realized, some tools come with a 32amp supply I read somewhere on here, its more likely to be that.

I think they are Schuko connectors (German thing). They aren't commando sockets like that ^. Was this a new saw? If so, there should be a lead in there somewhere. If not, NMA Agencies (the distributors) are helpful people who will sort you out.

Bad news is you won't find one in B&Q tomorrow.

I would phone the supplier / seller and get them to post it off , also regarding extraction , I ALWAYS use it for my own heath reasons , I run my extractor , A BIG microclean " on all the time I am in the workshop " and I use A Trend airshield . Never seen any good condition lungs on Ebay yet :lol:

Its come up before, I'm sure a 2500 user will be along soon with were you can get the correct plug. Also I think you will find that you can't plug the saw into a 13amp socket, it will need a 16amp socket wired from your consumer unit.

And use extraction wherever possible particularly when working with hardwoods & MDF

This is what the plug looks like on my Scheppach 2000

Mine has a 13 amp plug & fuse on but don't know if the 2010 will be different.

I would of thought that you should get the lead with the machine if you bought it new so get in contact with the supplier.

That's the one - looks like a standard schuko european supply, however bigger...like a commando socket.

sounds like i'll have to ask the dealer (DM-TOOLS), however given how long it took to get there, suprised they didn't say anything...

also i don't know what type of electric supply i have to my shed, it's just standard i guess, and don't know what a "consumer unit" is, and again no warning given on purchase, so i hope it will be alright - definately don't want to re-wire as i went way over budget getting the saw in the first place...

The saw spec on-line at a variety of sites, although not D & M's site, give the following:

Motor 220 – 240 V /50 Hz
Input 1.8kw (2.5hp)
Output 1.2kw (1.6hp)
Speed 2,800rpm
Brake no
Motor protection yes
Switch/plug unit with no-volt release yes

Seems that a suitable lead should have been supplied.

The "consumer unit" is what used to be known as the fuse box, nowadays updated to use circuit-breakers instead of wire fuses. It's doubtful that you could have expected any advice on purchase. Most retailers don't have either the facility or the knowledge for that, expecting the customer to know what they're buying.

Seek the advice of a qualified and certified electrician if you're in ANY doubt.

Dave,

It is designed for portability and sitework hence it is very unlikely to require a 16A supply. With an 1800W motor it'll run off a 13A outlet. Its the bigger kit that needs a 16A supply (such as my own Scheppach machines with 2.8kW and 2.8kW motors respectively).

It has the larger pattern 16A Schuko.

NMA Agencies Ltd are the people to ask. :wink:

I was using a Metabo site saw last week, had the same plug on and ran off 13amp supply, rather odd thing (the plug).

 

[jasonB]

I was thinking 2500 when I said 16amp supply, the 2000/2010 should be fine on a 13amp plug top.

I had the same problem, drove 300 miles to collect the saw from Glasgow.

No plug.

I emailed NMA, a plug arrived the next day.!
Excellent service.

This is what the plug looks like on my Scheppach 2000

Please tell me thats a switched OUTPUT for an extractor not a power input? !!

If it really is a power input it looks like the mating half would have two exposed pins = very dangerous.

 

[wcndave]

this is the end of the power cable that plugs into the table saw...i guess the other end will be a standard 3 pin socket.

the table saw does have 2 exposed pins, as you suggest the power socket shouldn't ;-)

Have a look here

Your plug is probably of type A - continental Europe

In Poland we use type F that is used in France and Belgium but it looks like it will fit to type A

[wcndave]

Yeah, i want F, the one on the right (the female one) connecting to UK 3 pin on the other end...

I called NMA Agencies as everyone suggested and they are going to post one to me, so all sorted.

Thanks everyone!

Forgetting to pack a plug could be a subtle rouse to get an address list of scheppach users.?

Or, am I being cynical.?
