Any socket that may be used to plug in a lawnmower, hedge trimmer or other power tool should have RCD Protection.

An RCD is a potentially life-saving device that protects against electric shock and reduces the risk of electrical fires. Without it, if you cut through an electrical lead, a simple job like mowing the lawn could kill you.
Any socket that may be used to plug in a lawnmower, hedge trimmer or other power tool should have RCD Protection. If you don't have one in your fusebox, you can buy a plug in RCD from any DIY store.
