sealed
the plug is bonded to the lead - it's one of those ones that must be cut away, if you need to change it for any reason. The term is a "sealed plug".
It's neither melted (sounds dangerous!) or fused (containing a fuse).

"Fuso" is the past participle of "fondere", which is "to melt". "Fuse" is the plural form of "fuso". Hope this helps.

: a fused plug contains a fuse (normal in the UK, but not what's meant here).

fused
I have a horrible suspicion that this means the plugs are "fused", ie protected by a fuse, as is customary in the UK, and are not simply connected directly to the electricity supply in the continental fashion.
I hope I'm wrong!

Sarah Ponting
: I don't think so Giles, because of the "e non applicate" that follows - I think it means that the lead is equipped with a sealed plug (fuso) rather than a screw-fastening one (applicato)
