We know this problem. This is why the power supply is declared as a spare
part and why there are so many safety remarks on our web site like "suitable
for qualified personnel only because of electrical safety (dangerous mains
voltage 115V / 230V)". The remarks are boring for specialists but necessary
to put off laymen.

This would require to built a separate fully closed box with mains inlet,
switch and fuse for the power supply only to avoid any contact to the pcb
tracks and wires that are connected to mains voltage. As I'd expect only low
quantities for such a box the price would be in the same range as the power
supply.
