Designed for homeowners and office users who need to power multiple devices across a large space, this 10-metre B&Q surge protected extension lead offers both extensive reach and robust safety features. Its primary benefit is the combination of individual socket control and built-in surge protection, which shields your electronics from power spikes; however, users should note that its heavy-duty design makes the cable quite stiff and bulkier to route compared to standard lighter-gauge extension cords.

No, this product is designed for indoor use only and should be kept away from moisture and damp conditions.
Yes, the unit is designed to be compatible with wall mounting, provided you use appropriate fixings for your wall type.
The internal surge protection components are designed to divert excess voltage away from your connected devices to prevent damage.
Daisy-chaining or 'linking' extension leads is not recommended as it significantly increases the risk of overheating and electrical fires.
If the unit has an indicator light for surge protection, ensure it remains lit. If the device has sustained a major surge, it may need to be replaced.
Please check the back of the unit or the packaging for the specific total wattage rating, typically marked in Watts (W) or Amps (A).
Check that the main power source is active and the extension lead is securely plugged into the wall socket.
Verify the device itself is functional and check that the extension lead has not tripped its internal fuse due to an overload.
Ensure the shutter mechanism is not obstructed and the plug pins are straight and aligned with the socket holes.
To set up your extension lead, fully uncoil the cable before use to prevent heat buildup, especially when drawing higher power loads. For wall mounting, align the rear keyhole slots with appropriate screws on a stable surface. Ensure the lead is used in a dry, indoor environment as it is not rated for outdoor usage. Care is straightforward: keep the casing free of dust and debris, and periodically inspect the plug and cable insulation for signs of wear or damage. Never force plugs into the sockets, and avoid daisy-chaining multiple extension leads together as this creates significant fire risks.
