For increased electrical safety use a
Residual Current Device (RCD) with a
tripping current of not more than
30 mA. Always check your RCD every
time you use it.
Keep the supply cables away from
moving hazardous parts and avoid
damage to the cables; this can lead to
contact with live parts.

for signs of damage at regular intervals
and may only be used if in perfect con-
dition.
