I picked up a couple of connectors today when we went into town, so don't worry about hunting for some for me fatcat. Thank you again for the offer though!

It turns out that there is already a (standard) power lead on the shredder! I'm not sure why the auction description said there was none??? Perhaps they meant an extension cable, but I would not expect an appliance to come with one anyway...

Glad you're sorted. :) Just to confirm, our ATCO shredder was out doing a bit of work the other evening after I did quite a bit of clearing and it is fitted with a length of ordinary 2.5 flex and needs to be connected to an extension reel to reach a socket. ;)

It's a bit silly though... the manual goes on about the importance of having a proper waterproof outdoor extension plus keeping connections off the ground, yet they fit the appliance with a standard NON-WATERPROOF plug  :blink:

I'm going to remove it and replace with a waterproof outdoor connector!

That's a good, safety-conscious option.

It's why we use an RCD and we wouldn't consider operating anything electrical, even with an RCD, if there is more than the slightest bit of moisture around outside. :)
