ELECTRICAL SAFETY

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) recommends the use of an RCD to reduce the risk of fatal shock. For electrical safety it is recommended to always fit an RCD when you use an electric mower or power tools. You can have an RCD fitted to protect a particular circuit as part of the socket outlet between the socket outlet and the equipment being used. For greater safety when using electrical equipment in the garden use a residual current devices (RCDs). Care in use is still necessary.

WHAT IS A SAFETY RCD ADAPTOR?
Your Masterplug Safety RCD Adaptor continuously monitors the power supply to an electrical appliance and cuts off the power within 40 milliseconds if an earth current fault is detected. This is fast enough to prevent a fatal electrical shock. Electrical appliances can become dangerous if the wiring becomes loose, if they or their power cords become damaged or if they get wet. Electrocution is also possible if fingers, wet hair or other conductive bodies enter the appliance. In all theses cases your Masterplug Safety RCD Adaptor will instantly cut off the electricity before your or a member of your family received a potentially fatal electric shock.

WHERE CAN I USE MY SAFETY RCD ADAPTOR?
You can use your Masterplug Safety RCD Adaptor with any 240 volt electrical appliance but it is a particularly valuable on appliance such as:
Appliances that might cut or drill through their own cable – Hedge cutters, lawn mowers, jig and circular saws, grinders, drills, shredders, carving knives, etc.
Appliances that might come into contact with moisture or water – Lawn mowers, pressure washers, water pumps steam irons, kettles, washing machines, hair curlers and driers, etc.
Appliances that are vulnerable to the entry of fingers, hair and foreign bodies – Toasters, fan heaters, electric fires, hair driers, etc.
Appliances that can be interfered with by children – Christmas tree lights, train sets, etc.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents recommends the use of RCDs to reduce the risk of fatal electric shock. ALWAYS fit an RCD adaptor when you use an electric mower, hedge cutter or power tool.
