WARNING! It is the user’s responsibility to read, understand and comply
with the following electrical instructions:
p
You must ensure the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of
appropriate safety devices. An RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker)
should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend
that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all electrical products,
particularly portable equipment which is plugged into an electrical supply not
protected by an RCCB.
You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning
electrical safety.
1.3.1. 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.
1.3.2. 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.
1.3.3. You must ensure that you:
! Inspect the charger plug, cable and connector for wear and damage to
ensure items are safe before connecting to the mains power supply.
If worn or damaged DO NOT use.
! Check cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
! Important: Check that the voltage marked on the charger plug is the
same as the power supply to be used.
! Uncoil the cable between charger and the lantern.
% DO NOT pull the charger plug from the mains socket by the lead.
% DO NOT use any other type of charger with this product.
% DO NOT place the connector into any area of the lantern except the
correct jack inlet socket.
% DO NOT try to take the charger plug apart.
% DO NOT use the charger plug to charge or power any other electrical item.
% DO NOT get the charger wet, or use in wet, damp conditions (for
indoor use only).
F WARNING! NEVER substitute a standard 13 amp 3 pin plug, or any
other type of plug, for the charger plug.
Cable extension reels. If a cable extension reel is used it should be fully
unwound before connection. A cable reel with an RCD fitted is recommended
since any product which is plugged into the cable reel will be protected.
