  • Expected date for repair

  • General precaution for electrical safety-

    -If using a cable drum extension, the cable should be less than 20 meters and it should be completely unwound to avoid overheating
    -Winding up of a electric cable shall only be done after disconnection of the plug to avoid the risk on electric shock due to unnoticed wire damage
    -When it is necessary to touch electrical equipment , use the back of the hand. Thus, if accidental shock were to cause muscular contraction, you would contract away from the electrical contact. 
    -If it is safe to do so, work with only one hand, keeping the other hand at your side or in your pocket, away from all conductive material. This precaution reduces the likelihood of accidents that result in current passing through the chest cavity (most dangerous path)
