The couplings of connection leads must be pro-
tected against splashes and the coupling sockets
on the leads must be made of rubber or coated
with rubber.
Fixing means for the connection leads must be

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a
possible shock hazard and should never be inserted
into a 13 A socket elsewhere.
