• Suitable for mains voltage typical in domestic installations
• Designed for indoor use and protected outdoor use when adequately sheltered

How to use

Connect the extension cable by inserting the plug into a compatible mains outlet and then connecting the appliance plug to the cable’s socket. Ensure the outlet and connected devices are rated for the intended load and that the cable runs do avoid sharp bends, pinching or exposure to excessive heat. For outdoor use, place the connection points under shelter and use additional protective covers or RCD/GFCI protection as required by local rules. Do not modify the cable or use if the insulation or plugs are damaged.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable within the rated current limits of connected devices, avoid permanent outdoor exposure without suitable protection, and check regularly for wear or damage. For heavy-duty or continuous high-current applications choose a cable with larger conductor cross-section and consult an electrician if unsure about compatibility or safety requirements.
