GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING!

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in

electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury .

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

4. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or

break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

5. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is

wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the

three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.

6. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

7. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

8. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the tools

or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.

9. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and

reduce the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

10. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operat-

ing power tools may result in serious personal injury.

11. Dress properly . Do not wear loose clothing or je welry. Contain long hair .

Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.

12. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the Power Switch, or plugging in power tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.

13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

14. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

REEL USE AND CARE

15. Use the correct cord for your application. The correct cord will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed. NEVER exceed the maxi-

mum amperage (5 A), or voltage (125 VAC) from the receptacle.

16. Do not use the power lamp if the Po wer Switch does not turn it on or off. Any product that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.

17. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power sour ce before making any

adjustments, c hanging accessories, or installing this cord reel.

18. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

19. Maintain tools with care. Do not use a damaged product. Tag damaged products “Do not use” until repaired.

20. Before use, check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of

parts, insecure mounting, and any other condition that may affect the reel’s operation. If damaged, have the reel serviced before using. Many accidents

are caused by poorly maintained products.

21. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer f or your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.

SERVICE

22. Reel service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

23. When servicing a reel, use only identical replacement parts. Follow

instructions in the manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions

may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

“Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning”

section of this

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

1. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Cord Reel Work Light. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

2. Always wear ANSI appr oved safety impact eye goggles when installing the Cord Reel Work Light. Using personal safety devices reduce the risk for injury. Safety impact eye goggles are available from Harbor Freight Tools.

3. Risk of fire. Never install a bulb that uses more than 13 watts or install a different type of bulb.

4. Keep the Cord Reel Work Light dry. Never immerse the light or Cord Reel in liquid.

5. Always unplug the Cord Reel from its electrical outlet and allow it to cool

completely before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.

6. The Cord Reel must be properly installed before connecting to the power supply.

7. Check for fra y ed or broken wires before each use.

8. When pulling cord from the Cord Reel, always grasp the cord itself, and not the device or tool the cord is plugged into.

9. If mounted in an area that is not readily accessible, only connect this Cord

Reel to a switch-controlled outlet; then, if a malfunction occurs, the Reel can be disconnected immediately.

GROUNDING

WARNING!

Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric

shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the

outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with

the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the

tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by

a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper

outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

GROUNDED T OOLS: TOOLS WITH THREE PR ONG PLUGS

1. Tools mar ked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See Figure A.)

2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal. (See Figure A.)

3. Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in the following illustration. (See Figure A.)

DOUBLE INSULATED T OOLS: T OOLS WITH TWO PR ONG PLUGS

4. Tools mar ked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code. (See Figure B.)

5. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the following illustration. (See Figure B.)
