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. Make sure there is adequate surrounding workspace.

2. Do not operate lights in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases, or dust. Light switches create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away during installation. Protect others in
the work area from debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as
needed.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

4. This light must be installed into an outlet box properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances. Check with a qualified electrician if
you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the light should

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

5. During installation, 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.

6. Do not expose open power outlets or wires to rain or wet conditions. W ork only
on a dry day with no chance of rain, and finish all work and seal the Base (1) of the
lantern BEFORE leaving the work area.

7. Do not abuse the power lines. Never use the power lines to hold the lantern

during installation. Keep the power lines away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or
moving parts. Replace damaged po wer lines immediately. Damaged pow er lines

increase the risk of electric shock.

8. Always disconnect the electrical circuit before performing any installation, inter-

nal inspection, or maintenance procedures.

9. Use the plastic hook on the Mounting Bracket (8) or other practical ways to se­cure and support the lantern to the outlet during installation. Holding the lantern

by hand or allowing the lantern to hang on the wires is dangerous and may damage
the wiring, leading to electric shock or fire.

PERSONAL SAFETY

10. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense during installa­tion. Do not attempt to install this item while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention during installation may result in seri-

ous personal injury.

11. Dress properly. Do not wear loose c lothing or je welry. Contain long hair. Keep
your hair , clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jew elry , or
long hair can be caught in moving parts during installation.

12. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of any power tools used during installation, if an
unexpected situation arises.

13. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Al­ways wear ANSI approved safety goggles when installing using tools and/or equipment.

14. Do not use the light if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any light that
cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.

SKU 92508 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. PAGE 3

15. Maintain light with care. Keep lantern clean. Properly maintained lights will work
better and more efficiently . Do not use a damaged lantern. Tag damaged lanterns and
their corresponding switches “Do not use” until repaired.

16. Check for loose mounting, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may

affect the lantern’ s operation. If damaged, ha ve the lantern serviced before use.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained fixtures.

SERVICE

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

18. When servicing a fixture, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instruc-

tions in the

parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or
injury.

19. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Lantern. These carry important information.
If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor F reight Tools for a replacement.

20. Only install type A bulbs rated at or below the maxim um wattage (100 W atts) f or

this Lantern.

The power to the outlet box must be disconnected before attempting to
install this item.
If the power is left connected during installation, or if the power comes on
accidentally, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY or DEATH can occur.

1. BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLA­TION MAKE CERTAIN THAT:

A. All needed tools and materials are

present at the work area. Weather­proof sealant is not included.

B. Sufficient time is allotted for complet-

ing the installation.

C.It is a dry day with no chance of rain.
Leaving the work area without finishing

the installation creates a dangerous situ­ation, and should be avoided at all costs.

2. This device is installed on an electri-

cal circuit that has sufficient voltage
to SERIOUSLY INJURE or KILL you.
If any doubt exists about your capa­bility to install this unit safely and
properly, this unit should be installed
by a licensed electrician.

3. Select an appropriate switch-controlled
outlet box for installation. Having a
switch-controlled outlet allows quick dis­connection in the ev ent of an emergency .
The lantern’s mounting location:

A. Should be unblocked for optimal illu-

mination and sensor range.

B. Must not block or interfere with any

walkways.

installed on. Visibly label the power
switch leading to the circuit, “W ork in
progress on this circuit, DO NOT
TURN POWER ON.”

5. Remove the cover from the outlet box.
Use a multimeter, set to a setting appro­priate for testing 120 VA C , to determine
that the power to the outlet is truly dis­connected.

6. Parts 1-7 and 10 are typically preas­sembled. Remove the Mounting Bracket
(8) if it is attached to the Base (1). Both
Bracket Screws (9) should remain
