Power cord and RCD maintenance
IMPORTANT. Ensure the RCD is tested upon every use.
It is essential that the safety switch is tested to ensure it is
functioning correctly. We strongly recommend that a test of
the RCD is conducted without fail before each use. Refer to
Testing your safety switch.
If the power cord or RCD needs replacing, the task must
be carried out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s
agent, or a qualified electrical repairer in order to avoid a
safety hazard.
