HERCULES · Electric shaver - Power supply unit to electric shaver.

The product poses a risk of electric shock because:- a flashover between the primary and secondary circuits of the shaver's power supply unit occurs at 2300V (should withstand 3000V),- the insulation between the primary and secondary circuits does not meet the SELV requirements, live parts can be touched. In addition, the operating instructions provided are incomprehensible.- the power supply unit's plug is not suitable for the earthing contact system used in Germany (and other countries using the same earthing contact system). The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60335.
