Hazard

The product poses a risk of burns and electric shock because:- there is no current-limiting device;- the cross-section area of the core in the internal wires is less than required and, in case of a short circuit, the internal wires may overheat;- parts can be removed by hand during charging, leaving live parts accessible. The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.

Product description
