When ye have such manual, it's either

#1 Perfect but has slight relation to the product,
#2 Perfect has a relation to a competitor's product,
#3 Perfect but is a completely different product,
#4 Somewhat off piste,

I have to say, that although the text is pretty incomprehensible, the
clear diagram is far better at getting the essentials over than the
combined text and diagrams for struts I fitted to a kitchen cupboard
last year!

Looks like don't turn on if house electrics are currently affected by a
bolt of lightning or power surges, or if ye have wet hands, or ye
suspect it's been made poorly and the manufacturers are trying to cover
their ass ;-)

Always turn off at the breaker before flipping the light switch.
