Hazard
The product presents a serious risk of injuries due to issues with the external build of the product. Firstly, the non-approved pressure release valve’s vent faces up, possibly into the operator’s face, causing air or atomized grease to be thrown into the user’s face. This presents a hazard of injury.
The release pipe is also directly above the on/off switch so if any moisture condensates it will fall onto the non-approved switch/resettable fuse. If the cover comes away moisture ingress could cause the hazards of unexpected starting which may cause serious injuries to the user.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.
Corrective action
Destruction of the product.
