•Do not use a plug socket outlet already being used by devices that are turned on and off in regular intervals,
such as photocopiers or fans.
•Do not connect the Crimpfix 2.5 M to either a switched or a time – controlled plug socket outlet.
•Never use damaged or scuffed power cables.
•If you connect the Crimpfix 2.5 M to the power supply via an extension cable, ensure that the total nominal
current of all the devices connected to the extension cable does not exceed the ampere rating for that
extension cable. In addition, you should ensure that the total nominal current of all the devices plugged into
the wall – mounted socket outlet does not exceed the ampere rating for that wall – mounted socket outlet.
