How to use

To install the plug, carefully strip the outer insulation of your power cable to expose the individual wires.

Once the wires are attached, reassemble the housing, ensuring the cable clamp is properly tightened to provide strain relief. Finally, verify that the plug is firmly seated in the wall socket before switching on the power.

• Confirm the environment is dry and free from moisture

Usage recommendations

Always ensure the power is disconnected from the source before attempting to wire or replace an electrical plug. If you are not confident in your ability to perform electrical installations, consult a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations.
