That sounds nasty,i hope you recovered ok.
Ill make sure i have good look over the machine the best i can. I still haven't removed all the packaging, I thought it best get this power lead problem cleared up first in case i have to return it.
Did you use the ground connection on the back of the machine or does a proper uk IEC lead do the job?

Cheers
