6 HOW TO USE
6.1 How to unwind the cable
As mentioned, the cable reel is equipped with a "spring-loaded" rotating drum onto which the
electrical cord is wound.
The drum also has a pawl and a ratchet system for locking the cable reel in certain positions.
To unwind the cable, hold it with one hand and pull it out, away from the casing of the cable
reel. While pulling out the cable, the drum is spinning and it is possible hear the typical
"CLACK-CLACK" sound made by the pawl moving over the ratchet teeth.
After having unwound enough cable, lock the cable by releasing it while it is possible hear the
typical "CLACK-CLACK" sound made by the pawl.
Precautions for use
When using the cable reel unroll the cable completely or it may overheat and catch fire.
Keep the cable away from surfaces that are damp, wet, oiled or have sharp edges as well
as heat sources and fuels.
Never walk underneath the cable, you could cut it, be aware of its position at all times.
6.2 How to rewind the cable
After use, to retract the cable and re-wind it onto the cable reel drum, pull it out to about 265
mm and then, when you can not hear the typical "CLACK-CLACK" sound of the pawl any
more, release it. The cable retracts automatically.
Precautions for use
During the re-entry of the cable, always hold it with your hand and follow the operation
until it is has finished.
This is to prevent collisions with persons or damage to the cable insulation caused by
excessive retraction speeds.
When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, always hold the plug. Do not try
to pull the plug by pulling on the power cord!
