You must also read and understand the following instructions
concerning electrical safety.
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.
