WARNING! It is the user’s responsibility to read, understand and comply with the following:
• You must check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure they are safe before using.
• You must inspect power supply leads, plugs and all electrical connections for wear and damage.
• You must ensure the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. An RCCB
(Residual Current Circuit Breaker) should be incorporated in the main distribution board.
• We also recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all electrical products. It is particularly
important to use an RCD together with portable products that are plugged into an electrical supply not protected by
an RCCB. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.
• You may obtain a Residual Current Device by contacting your dealer.
• The Electricity At Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested
by a qualified electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
• The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of
the appliance, and the safety of the appliance operator. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified
electrician.
• Ensure the insulation on all cables and the product itself is safe before connecting to the mains power supply. Use a
Portable Appliance Tester (PAT).
• Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
• Regularly inspect power supply leads, plugs and all electrical connections for wear and damage and especially
power connections, to ensure that none is loose.
• Important
: Ensure the voltage marked on the product is the same as the electrical power supply to be used and
check that plugs are fitted with the correct capacity fuse. A 13 amp plug may require a fuse smaller than 13 amps
for certain products.
• Do not
pull or carry the powered appliance by its power supply lead.
• Do not
pull power plugs from sockets by the power cable.
• Do not
use worn or damage leads, plugs or connections. Immediately replace or have repaired by a qualified
electrician.
