Description
Electric power strip “Sweex Power Master 2020”Type/model: Not indicated.
Risk
Possible overheating of the power strip may lead to a damage of a strip casing and consequently result in a electric shock and burns to the user. The power strip reaches high temperature exceeding the possible limits and therefore it can cause a risk of electric shock and burns to the user. In the Polish version of the user’s manual there was incorrect value of electric current charge for this type of power strip and expression “maximal direct current” was used instead of “maximal continuous current”. This product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard.
