Details
Battery powered lawn strimmer with 2 x lithium batteries and charger. Comes with plastic and metal blades, a metal rotary wood blade and instructions.
The product presents a serious risk of electric shock as the battery charge has excessive steps between the insulation and the pin face. The pins may not be inserted correctly into a BS1363 socket, and repeated insertion into a socket may damage the internals. This may cause electrical arcing, the potential for a fire.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.
