Introduction

This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and efficient use of your LEXMAN Cable Reel with 4 Sockets. This robust and practical cable reel is designed for various applications, particularly suitable for outdoor use in gardens due to its IP44 protection rating. It features a 30-meter HO7RN-F (3G 1.5mm²) cable and a maximum power output of 3000W when fully unrolled. Please read this manual thoroughly before first use and keep it for future reference.

Safety Instructions

Always observe the following safety precautions to prevent electric shock, fire, or injury:

• Read all instructions: Familiarize yourself with the product's features and operation before use.
• IP44 Rating: This cable reel is rated IP44, meaning it is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and splashing water from any direction. It is suitable for outdoor use but should not be submerged in water or exposed to heavy rain.
• Power Limits:
  • Maximum 1000W when cable is coiled: To prevent overheating, do not exceed 1000W total load when the cable is still wound on the reel.
  • Maximum 3000W when cable is fully unrolled: For full power capacity, always unroll the entire 30-meter cable.
• Overload Protection: The cable reel is equipped with a thermal safety switch. If the reel overheats due to overload or insufficient unrolling, the power will automatically cut off. Disconnect all devices, allow the reel to cool down, and then press the reset button (if applicable) before resuming use.
• Cable Inspection: Before each use, inspect the cable and housing for any damage. Do not use if damaged.
• Child Safety: The sockets are protected by child-safe covers. Ensure these covers are in place when not in use.
• Proper Connection: Ensure the plug is fully inserted into a suitable power outlet.
• Disconnect when not in use: Always unplug the cable reel from the power source when not in use.
• Repairs: Do not attempt to repair the cable reel yourself. Contact qualified personnel for service.

Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the cable reel from its packaging.
2. Inspect: Check the cable reel, cable, and plug for any signs of damage. Do not use if any damage is observed.
3. Position: Place the cable reel on a stable, flat surface in the desired work area. Ensure it is away from water sources, heat, and flammable materials.

Operating Instructions

1. Unroll the Cable: For optimal performance and to prevent overheating, always unroll the entire 30-meter cable before connecting high-power devices. This ensures the maximum power rating of 3000W can be utilized safely. If only low-power devices (totaling less than 1000W) are used, partial unrolling may be acceptable, but full unrolling is always recommended.
2. Connect Devices: Plug your electrical devices into the 4 available sockets. Ensure the child-safe covers are removed only when a plug is inserted.
3. Connect to Power: Insert the cable reel's plug into a suitable, grounded wall socket.
4. Monitor Load: Be mindful of the total power consumption of connected devices. Do not exceed the maximum rated power (1000W coiled, 3000W unrolled).
5. After Use: Disconnect all devices, then unplug the cable reel from the wall socket. Use the winding crank to neatly coil the cable back onto the reel for storage.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Disconnect the cable reel from the power supply before cleaning. Wipe the housing and cable with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the cable, plug, and sockets for any signs of wear, cuts, cracks, or discoloration. If damage is found, discontinue use immediately and seek professional repair or replacement.
• Storage: Store the cable reel in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cable is neatly coiled to prevent kinks or damage.
