The lead is rated for 13A, which is suitable for most standard household and many power tools. Always check the power requirements of your appliance.
Can I plug multiple devices into this extension lead?
No, this extension lead features a single socket, meaning you can only connect one appliance at a time.
How do I clean the extension lead?
Wipe the cable and frame with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the lead is completely dry before storing or using it.
What does IP54 rating mean?
An IP54 rating means the enclosure offers protection against solid objects larger than 1mm (like dust) and protection against water splashes from any direction.
What is the warranty period for this product?
SLx offers a full 12-month warranty on this product, with UK-based support available.
Is the cable made of copper?

Troubleshooting
Extension lead not powering appliance
Check that the plug is securely inserted into the mains socket. Ensure the cable is fully unwound. Verify that the appliance is functioning correctly by plugging it directly into a wall socket. Check if the 13A fuse has tripped and replace if necessary.
Cable is difficult to unwind or rewind
Ensure no kinks or knots are present in the cable. Check the frame for any obstructions. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Appears damaged after use
Immediately discontinue use if the cable, plug, or frame shows signs of damage, such as cuts, fraying, or cracks. Contact SLx UK-based support for advice or replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up, simply unwind the 5m cable from the durable frame. Ensure the cable is fully unwound before connecting any appliances to prevent overheating. Plug the BSI-approved end into a suitable mains power socket. Connect your appliance to the single socket on the extension lead.
Compatibility: This extension lead is designed for use with standard UK mains powered appliances operating within the 13A limit. It is suitable for both domestic and commercial use.
Care: After use, ensure the cable is dry before rewinding it onto the frame. Store in a dry, protected location. Periodically check the cable and plug for any signs of damage. Clean the frame and cable with a damp cloth if necessary; avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure the IP54 rating is maintained by not submerging the lead or exposing it to high-pressure water jets.
