Safety tips

•  DO NOT obstruct air inlets and outlets.
•  DO NOT use the binder if the power cord (mains cable) is damaged.
•  DO NOT place the power cord where it may be tripped over or pulled. 

Ensure it does not come into contact with hot surfaces such as pipes 
or radiators. Make sure the cable is not squashed or pinched.

then only use one of a suitable current rating (10A or greater).

not in use.

result in ELECTRIC SHOCK.
