This product presents with a high risk of electric shock as the plug face does not meet the dimensional requirements BS 1363. The distance between the neutral pin and the outside edge measured too small allowing the user to access live parts when plugging in, or unplugging, the plug from the socket.
This product also presents a risk of fire as the fuse had friction fit end caps and did not contain a ballast, meaning it would not provide the necessary protections under fault conditions. Additionally, the internal build quality was deemed inadequate as the charger had poor quality soldering with wires soldered directly to the PCB and the transformer was of a poor build quality because the primary and secondary windings were found to be touching. This product does not meet safety standards. Identifier: XC2, AG23040819B Description: A cordless angle grinder with lithium batteries and chargers, supplied in a black carry case with red closure clips. If you have bought this product, stop using it immediately and return it to the distributor for a refund.
