How do you mean? That the wall plug isn't there? Normally there are three
wires inside a standard cord; brown, blue and yellow/green. Green/yellow is
ground and the other two where the juice is flowing! ;) (well, the easy way
to explain it anyway)

Where do you live (country)? And how does your wall plugs normally look? Are
the unit wired for 220 or 110 volts? If you've bought it on the net it's not
100% certain that it will work in your country without a step up or step
down converter.

electronically yours, jesper - with one busy step down converter and 233
volts in the wall :)

Hi jesper,
 
I mean the inside wires, the only one connected is the ground (green/yellow), the are other 3 cables (blue, yellow and red). These cables are not soldered. The unit is 115 volts.
 
thanks

Not soldered inside the SDS-8 or not soldered to a wall plug?
Normally I'd say the blue and red is the two "normal" ones. What the yellow
is I cannot say if there's a green or gren/yellow too...

It sounds strange indeed to me with four wires in the power cord. Or am I
missing something with the (japanese?) power system in your country?

electronically yours, jesper
