Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? This is a small portable generator made by Mecafer. It can give you an electric shock if the built-in voltmeter cracks while the machine is running.

What's happening? Some of these generators have a broken voltmeter that can expose live parts. If you touch the broken part while the generator is on, you could get a dangerous electric shock.

Does this affect me? If you own or use one of these Mecafer MF3800 generators in France, you could be at risk.

What should I do? Stop using the generator right away. Take it back to the store where you bought it and ask for a refund or replacement.
