Hi All

Can you spot the errors made by putting this sewing machine out for
sale
in a charity shop?

- 13 amp plug with unsleeved L and N pins
- figure-8 single-insulated wire outside the machine casing to the
lampholder
- unguarded drive belt and pulleys between the motor and the machine*

Not this exact machine, but this sort of arrangement, see photo 11

I'm not sure you can expect them to make it safe for UK use as it's an
auction in america.

No its not. That auction was for another sewing machine that is roughly
the
same model.

What differnce does that make.

It means that one doesnt have to comply with british legal requirements,
****wit.

which is what I said, but what;s this with British requirements when we are in the EU, surely it should be OK in any EU country ?
