Voltage and frequency are compatible with the UK supply, so you should be Ok.

It only draws 1.2A.  I will be absolutely fine on a UK 13A plug.

Use a 3A (red) fuse in a rewireable 13A plug. 
The motor is inverter controlled so 'soft start', but even if not the 3A is unlikely to ever rupture.

EDIT That SA plug was widely used in the UK (15A round pin) before we standardised on ring mains and 13A fused plugs.
Still might be for stage lighting in some places.

Does this work? Or do you mean, this plug with a 3A fuse purchased separately?

That's fine. It'll have a 13 amp fuse but that will be fine too.

I'd personally prefer to use a lower rated fuse than 13A, although the 13A fuse in the Toolstation one will be safe enough from the cable fire / protection point of view.

are examples with a 3A fuse included.

Or swap the 13A to a red 3A fuse if you have any lying around.

If you can't be bothered leaving the house, this one also comes with 3A fuse.

I was surprised at the weight of the appliance.

Just had wee nosy at specs and N class has a temperature range of 16 to 32 degrees.

Could you please explain a bit more? Surprised in a good sense or bad?
