Full details
The Benross 10-metre outdoor extension lead is an essential tool for homeowners, DIY enthusiasts, and gardeners who need reliable power for outdoor appliances, lighting, or power tools. With its generous reach and robust build, it simplifies outdoor tasks in the garden, shed, or garage. While it offers excellent weather protection, it is important to note that the single outlet design limits the number of devices you can power simultaneously without the use of an additional adapter.

FAQs
Is this extension lead waterproof?
It is rated IP44, which means it is splash-proof and protected against water spray, but it is not waterproof and should never be submerged in water.
Can I use this for high-wattage appliances?
This lead is rated for 13 A. Ensure the total wattage of the devices you are powering does not exceed the capacity of your wall socket.
Can this be used indoors?
Yes, it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, making it ideal for garages, sheds, or general household tasks.
Should I use an RCD with this lead?
Yes, it is highly recommended to use an RCD (Residual Current Device) adapter when using any electrical equipment outdoors for added protection against electric shocks.
How should I store the cable?
Coil the cable loosely when not in use and store it in a dry, shaded area to prevent damage to the cable casing.
Troubleshooting
Device connected to the lead does not turn on
Verify that the extension lead is securely plugged into the wall socket and that the wall switch is turned on.
Plug feels loose in the socket
Ensure that the extension lead socket is free of debris and that the tool plug is fully pushed in until it clicks or sits flush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your lead, ensure the plug is fully inserted into a RCD-protected outdoor socket whenever possible for maximum safety. Always inspect the cable for any nicks or fraying before each use. When finished, coil the cable loosely to prevent internal wire strain, and store it in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the insulation. Do not daisy-chain this lead with other extension cords, as this can increase the risk of electrical faults.
