WARNING!
This product has an earthed plug as a safety
feature and will only connect to an earthed

If using an extension cable or power strip
ensure that the total current rating (amperes)
of all connected equipment is less than the
maximum rating of the extension cable, power
strip or wall outlet. Otherwise fire or shock
may occur.
Ensure the power cable is routed so as not to
be damaged or cause a trip hazard. If the cable
becomes frayed or damaged replace it
immediately to prevent any risk of shock.
Do not twist, constrict or knot the power cable
