Or transformer when using a 110V
machine.
If the equipment fails, or if its power
supply cable or plug becomes
damaged, return it. Never try to repair
it yourself.
Keep cables out of harm's way, and
clear of the work area.
Extension leads should be fully
unwound and loosely
coiled, away from the equipment.
Never run them through
water, over sharp edges or where
they could trip someone.
ALWAYS remove the plug from the
power socket before undertaking any
type of intervention on the air
scrubber or if it is left unattended or
within children or people's reach.
ALWAYS switch off before removing
the plug
ALWAYS when unplugging pull the
plug, not the power supply cable
To reduce the risk of electric
shock, always use a suitable RCD
(Residual Current-Operated
Device) available from HSS. Or
power the equipment from a mains
circuit with a built in RCD.
Ensure the machine and power
socket are switched OFF before
plugging into the power supply.
Never use a water hose or
pressure washer to clean electrical
components. Water could enter the
electrical compartment causing a
shock hazard.
