EXPLANATION FOR SYMBOLS
A Class II or double insulated electrical appliance
is one which has been designed in such a
way that it does not require a safety connection
to electrical earth. The basic requirement is that
no single failure can result in dangerous voltage
becoming exposed so that it might cause
an electric shock and that this is achieved without
relying on an earthed metal casing. This is
usually achieved at least in part by having two
layers of insulating material surrounding live
parts or by using reinforced insulation
Read instruction manual before operating or attempting
any maintenance work.
Switch off and remove the plug from the mains before
cleaning or maintenance.
DO NOT leave or use this appliance in the rain.
Wear hearing and eyes protection.
