Its just in his lockup which is in a council block of garages with no power, otherwise Id have taken an adapter to run it off 13a to just check it powers up and feeds wire etc - he says its was all working fine when he shut down his workshop a year or so ago. If SWP is a reasonable manufacturer perhaps ill take a chanceYou'll need a 32amp socket for full power, SWP are a well known manufacturer (I have a feeling they're Italian machines, but I could be wrong), can't you try it on a lower setting on a 13amp socket just to test it fires up???
