INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,

EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE UV RADIATION, OR INJURY TO PERSONS.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Lighted Lamp is HOT:

WARNING – To reduce the risk of FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE UV RADIATION, OR INJURY TO PERSONS:

1. Turn off/unplug and allow to cool
before replacing bulb.

2. Bulb gets HOT quickly!
Only contact On/Off Button/Plug when turning on.

3. Do not touch hot lens, guard, or enclosure.

4. Do not remain in light if skin feels warm.

5. Do not look directly at lighted lamp.

6. Keep lamp away from materials that may burn.

7. Use only with 250 watt or smaller bulbs.

8. Do not touch the bulb at any time. Use a soft cloth
instead. Oil from your skin may damage the bulb.

9. Do not operate the portable luminaire
with a missing or damaged guard,
lamp containment barrier, or UV filter.

10. Avoid electric shock. Do not use with an
extension cord near water or where water may
accumulate. Keep lamp at least 16 feet (5m) from
pools and spas. Keep plugs and receptacles
dry. Use only on GFCI-protected circuits.
Do not submerge the Light in water.

11. The Light is not waterproof. Use extreme
caution in any wet location.

12. Be careful when placing tripod.
Make certain that the area is clear of debris
and obstructions that may bump the Light.

13. Do not obstruct walkways or
common areas with the cord.

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

15. This product is not intended for use in a residence
or to be mounted in a cabinet. This product is
not suitable for recessed installation in ceilings
or on buildings. This product can cause a fire.

16. Do not leave the Light unattended when it is plugged
into an electrical outlet. Turn off the Light, and
unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.

17. This product is not a toy.
Keep it out of reach of children.

18. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure. In
addition, people with pacemakers should:

• Avoid operating alone.

• Properly maintain and inspect
to avoid electrical shock.

• Properly ground power cord. Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should
also be implemented – it prevents
sustained electrical shock.

19. WARNING: The cord of this product contains
lead and/or di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP),
chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

20. The warnings, precautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations
that may occur. It must be understood by the
operator that common sense and caution are
factors which cannot be built into this product,
but must be supplied by the operator.

21. Do not operate a Light in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust. A Light creates sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.

22. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling, or unplugging the Light. Keep
the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges,
and moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.

23. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use
common sense when operating a Light. Do
not use a Light while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating a
Light may result in serious personal injury.

24. Do not use the Light if the On/Off Button does not
turn it on and off. Any Light that cannot be controlled
with the Button is dangerous and must be repaired.

25. Have your Light serviced by a qualified repair person.
Use only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the Light is maintained.

26. Always point the Light away from a wall, whether
the unit is in use or not. If the Light is accidentally
pointed at a wall while it is on or while it is
still hot when turned off, a fire may result.

27. Wear ANSI-approved goggles during setup and use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Grounding

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION:
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 Light. Never remove the grounding prong from
the plug. Do not use the Light 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 Lights: Lights with Three-Prong Plugs

1. Lights marked 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 Light 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.

3-Prong Plug and Outlet

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

3. The Light 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
preceding illustration. See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.

Extension Cords

1. Grounded Lights require a three-wire extension cord.
Double Insulated Lights can use either

a two- or three-wire extension cord.

2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases,
you must use a heavier gauge extension cord.
Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire
causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of
power and possible Light damage. (See Table A.)

3. The smaller the gauge number of the wire,
the greater the capacity of the cord. For
example, a 14-gauge cord can carry a
higher current than a 16-gauge cord.

4. When using more than one extension cord to
make up the total length, make sure each cord
contains at least the minimum wire size required.

5. If you are using one extension cord for more than
one Light, add the nameplate amperes and use the
sum to determine the required minimum cord size.

6. Make sure the extension cord is properly wired
and in good electrical condition. Always replace

a damaged extension cord or have it repaired
by a qualified electrician before using it.

7. Protect the extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

Light Assembly

For each light:

1. Remove the Bolt at the top of the housing and
open the Lamp Cover. Refer to Figure C.

2. The bulb is shipped in a protective
box inside the light.

3. One of the lamp holder sockets is spring-loaded

Socket first, then pivot it over to the other side.

CAUTION! Do not touch the Bulb with your bare
hands; oil from skin will drastically shorten the life
span of the bulb if not cleaned with rubbing alcohol
and allowed to dry before use. Handle the bulb with
a soft, clean cloth or clean work gloves instead.
