the product if the cord is damaged or worn.
Immediately disconnect from the mains
electricity supply if the cord is cut, or the
insulation is damaged. Do not touch the
electric cord until the electrical supply has
been disconnected. Do not repair a cut or
damaged cord. Replace it with a new one.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk
