bandsaw electrics help

[jonny boy]

Hello, I have just ordered a new bandsaw from Axminster and while waiting for it to be delivered, I am going to get the wiring run for it . My question is, the bandsaw is the SBW 5300 three phase model and I want to know if anyone knows how many wires are in the cable you plug it in with? Does it have just three cores or does it have three cores, neutral and earth? Any help is appreciated.

A 3 phase motor needs the three phases and an earth. Why not check with Axminster's technical dept?
