(including those made by other manufacturers or by the same manufacturer but
for other models) may cause injuries to persons or damage to the Adapter.
10.
The packing materials (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene, etc.) must be kept out
of the reach of children or disabled persons since they represent potential sources
of danger.
Location
11.
This Adapter is NOT suitable to be used or stored near heat sources (open flame,
ovens, heaters, stoves, etc.) and/or in an explosive environment (in the presence
of flammable substances such as gas, vapour, mist or dust, in atmospheric
conditions when, after ignition, the combustion is spread in the air). Items
containing these substances should never be placed in the Adapter, and never be
used to clean the Adapter in order to avert the risk of fire or explosion.
12.
The Adapter should NOT be placed on a surface, or in the vicinity of objects which
can be damaged by heat such as carpets or plastics. DO NOT locate multiple
Adapters close to each other. During operation, as heat is transferred away from
the Adapter, the surface that the Adapter is placed upon as well the surface
immediately above or adjacent to it may become very hot. If the Adapter is
operated on wooden furniture, use a protective pad to prevent damage to delicate
finishes.
13.
Avoid placing the cable of an appliance plugged into the Adapter on abrasive or
sharp surfaces or in positions where it can be damaged easily. DO NOT damage
a cable’s insulation by dropping tools or materials on it, pinching it in doors
and windows or under heavy furniture, dropping tools or materials on it, or letting
it hang in the air while its plugs are attached to the Adapter.
14.
Avoid snagging the cable of an appliance plugged into the Adapter. The Adapter
might be ripped from the wall socket as a result. This may cause injuries to persons
or damage to the Adapter.
15.
The Adapter should be plugged into outlets in the same room where work is being
performed. DO NOT run the cable of an appliance plugged into the Adapter
through walls, ceilings or floors. The cable must NOT be placed under carpets, or
covered with throw rugs, runners or similar. If a cable is covered, heat cannot
escape, which may result in a fire hazard.
16.
DO NOT use or store the Adapter outdoors. Store and use the device only indoors,
or in any case, protected from weathering such as rain, direct radiation of the sun
and dust. Outdoor adapters have insulation that protects against moisture,
sunlight and abrasion, so using an indoor adapter outdoors can create a fire
hazard or result in electric shock.
