the extension cable is protected
from splash water, and is made of
rubber or has a rubber covering.
Only use extension cables that are
intended for outdoor use and are
labelled as such. Use extension
cables with a cable core diameter
of at least one square millimetre.
Always completely unwind the
cable reel before use. Check the
cable for damage.
• Use the cable hanger fi tted for
the purpose when using an ex-
tension cable.
