What is the danger

The product poses a risk of: - electric shock because the mechanical strength of the ventilation holes are not sufficient, therefore the live parts become accessible, - fire since due to the unfixed internal wiring short circuit may occur, the connections are made by twisting the cores of the wires, screws can protrude into the plastic cover, - injuries because the size of the protection shield is not appropriate. The product does not comply with Machinery Directive and the relevant European standard EN 50144.
