Main risks

• Risk of electric shock when handling connections or cables while the equipment is connected to the mains.
• Overheating and fire due to overloading, insufficient ventilation, or covering the transformer.
• Damage to the connected equipment from using an incompatible voltage, current, or output type.
• Burns from elevated case temperature after prolonged use.
• Short circuits caused by damaged cables, loose terminals, or the presence of moisture.
• Damage from drops or cable tugs, which may affect the plug or the mains socket.
• Ingress of dust or liquids that may cause electrical failure or shock.

Safe use

• Before connecting, verify input and output compatibility (voltage, current, and power as specified by the manufacturer) and that the load type is suitable.
• Place the transformer on a stable, dry, non-flammable surface. Leave space around it to dissipate heat and do not cover it.
• Connect and disconnect with dry hands. Unplug from the mains before handling terminals or wiring on the output side.
• Use sockets in good condition and avoid overloading power strips or daisy-chained multi-plug adaptors.
• Route cables without pinching or twisting and avoid running them through walkways or under doors. Use cable ties or grommets without compressing the insulation.
• If the model has marked polarity or terminals, observe them and ensure firm connections without forcing.
• If you notice a burning odour, crackling, or an unusual hum, disconnect immediately and do not use it until it has been checked or replaced.

Storage and maintenance

• Store in a dry, clean, and ventilated place, away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
• Do not place objects on top or subject the cables to strain or crushing.
• Wipe dust with a dry cloth. Do not use cleaning liquids or aerosols.
• Periodically check the condition of the cable, plug, and casing; if you observe cracks, discolouration, a burning odour, or loose parts, stop using it.
• After prolonged use, check that the temperature is reasonable to the touch; unusual heating may indicate overloading.
• Do not open or modify the product. If damaged, replace it with one in good condition.
• If it will not be used for long periods, unplug it from the mains.

Restrictions on use

• Indoor use only, unless the product expressly states that it is suitable for outdoor use.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets. Not a toy.
• Do not use with loads that exceed the rated power/VA, nor with equipment incompatible with its output type.
• Do not cover with textiles or install in enclosed spaces without adequate ventilation.
• Do not use near water or in areas with condensation, steam, or splashes.
• Do not connect multiple transformers together or modify the connections unless expressly instructed by the manufacturer.
• For fixed installations connected to the mains, it is recommended that the connection be carried out by qualified personnel.
