This 25m Loops Cable Reel is designed for users needing extended reach for power tools and appliances in workshop, site, or home environments. Its key benefit is providing a safe and reliable extension with overload protection via a thermal trip. A caveat is that its maximum capacity significantly reduces when the cable is wound.

When the cable is fully unwound, the maximum capacity is 3120W. When the cable is wound, the maximum capacity is reduced to 960W due to heat build-up.
The thermal trip is a safety feature that automatically cuts off the power supply if the cable becomes overloaded, preventing overheating and potential damage or fire hazards.
While designed for various environments including sites, it should be protected from direct rain and excessive moisture. Ensure connections are kept dry.
Locate the reset button on the unit and press it firmly. If the overload condition persists, the trip may engage again.
The cable is a 25m length of 3 x 1.25mm² PVC cable.
Yes, the cable reel is fitted with an RCD (Residual Current Device) for additional electrical safety.
Check that the thermal trip has not engaged. Press the reset button. Ensure the main plug is securely inserted into a live power socket and that the RCD is active.
Verify that the total power draw of connected devices does not exceed the 'Capacity Wound' limit (960W) if the cable is not fully unwound, or the 'Capacity Unwound' limit (3120W) if fully unwound. High-draw tools may require the cable to be fully unwound.
Cease use immediately and inspect the sockets. If damage is found, do not use the cable reel. Contact the manufacturer or a qualified electrician for repair or replacement.
Setup: To set up, simply unroll the desired length of cable from the drum. Ensure the cable is fully unwound before connecting high-power devices to prevent overheating and to utilize the full power capacity. Plug your devices into the available 230V sockets.
Compatibility: This cable reel is designed for 230V power supplies and standard UK/EU 230V plug sockets. It is particularly recommended for use with pressure washers, water pumps, hedge trimmers, and workshop power tools.
Care: After use, always ensure the cable is clean and free from debris before winding it back onto the drum. Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion or damage to the cable and sockets. Periodically inspect the cable for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the thermal trip reset button is accessible and functional.
