FAQs

What is the maximum power I can use with this reel?

When the cable is fully unwound, you can use up to 13 Amps (3120 Watts). When the cable is wound, the maximum safe current is 4 Amps (960 Watts). Always ensure the cable is fully unwound for loads above 4 Amps.

How do I reset the thermal cut-out switch?

If the thermal cut-out engages, the reel will stop providing power to prevent overheating. Allow the reel to cool down for several minutes, then locate and press the reset button, which is typically found on the body of the reel.

Can I use this extension reel outdoors?

While the reel is robust, it is not weatherproof. It is designed for use in dry conditions. Avoid exposure to rain or excessive moisture. Ensure the connected appliance is also suitable for outdoor use if necessary.

What is the warranty period for this Powerplus reel?

Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's documentation for specific warranty details, as warranty periods can vary.

How should I store the cable reel?

To maintain the cable's condition and prevent tangles, store the reel in a dry place. Ensure the cable is wound neatly onto the reel, avoiding sharp bends or kinks.

What does '240 Voltage' and '13 Amp' rating mean?

240 Voltage is the standard operating electrical potential. 13 Amps is the maximum electrical current the cable can safely carry when fully unwound. The total power (in Watts) is calculated by multiplying Voltage x Amps.

Troubleshooting

Reel not providing power

Check if the thermal cut-out switch has tripped. Ensure the cable is plugged into a live socket. Press the reset button on the reel if the thermal cut-out has engaged, and allow it to cool first.

Cable is difficult to unwind or retract

Ensure the cable is not tangled. Gently guide the cable onto the reel during retraction to prevent jamming. Check for any obstructions or damage to the cable or reel mechanism.

Reel feels excessively hot during use

Immediately stop use and unplug the reel. Check the power load against the rating for the unwound cable (13 Amps). If the load is appropriate, allow the reel to cool completely. The thermal cut-out should then reset automatically or via a reset button. If the problem persists, the unit may be faulty.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extensive 25m reach for greater flexibility.
  • Durable steel construction for longevity.
  • Safety features like thermal cut-out prevent overheating.
  • Tangle-free storage with the integrated reel system.
  • Suitable for a wide range of common power tools.

Cons

  • Reduced maximum current capacity (4 Amps) when the cable is wound.
  • Potential for tangles if the reel mechanism is not used carefully.
  • Requires awareness of power limitations based on cable extension status.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the extension reel into a mains power socket. Unwind the desired length of cable by gently pulling the cord. Ensure the cable is fully unwound for loads exceeding 4 Amps. To retract, carefully guide the cable back onto the reel, ensuring it winds smoothly without kinks.

Compatibility: This reel is compatible with any standard 240V appliance or tool that requires a 13 Amp connection (when unwound). It is designed for use with UK/EU standard plugs and sockets.

Care: Keep the reel clean and free from dust and debris, especially around the socket outlets and the thermal cut-out reset button. Store in a dry location. Periodically inspect the cable for any signs of damage. If the thermal cut-out trips, allow the reel to cool down completely before pressing the reset button (usually located on the body of the reel) and before reconnecting power.
