⚠WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not operate tripod light near flammable liquids or in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Internal sparks may ignite fumes causing personal injury.
-
Do not submerge tripod light in any liquid.
-
The tripod light is intended for commercial and household use.
-
Before using the tripod light, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the tripod light.
-
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
-
Store the tripod light indoors when not in use. Keep out of reach of children.
-
Place the tripod light away from any heat source.
-
Do not disassemble tripod light. Take it to an authorized service center when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.
-
While transporting, be sure the light head is collapsed to its lowest position, the extension poles are locked, and the tripod's legs collapsed and locked into their carrying position.
-
ALWAYS inspect extension cords before use and replace with new cord if required. Contact with worn or damaged extension cords could result in electrocution
-
ALWAYS keep cooling air vents (Fig. A, 31 ) clear of any obstructions. Materials placed against or near the fan vent can interfere with its proper ventilation features causing overheating.
-
Only operate the tripod light with included diffuser and only use the provided diffuser for this purpose.
-
NEVER suspend the portable power station/charger. The tripod light is not designed to be suspended.
-
The preferred position of the tripod light is on its feet, in a vertical orientation, or on its back. Do not operate the portable power station/charger balanced on its side.
-
Make sure that the summation of electrical loads for all attachments does not exceed the load rating of the tripod light. Exceeding the load capacity of the tripod light by attaching too many items, or items with very high load ratings to it could result in overheating of some items or their attachment wiring resulting in fire or electrical shock.
-
Do not use the tripod light to power medical or other critical devices.
⚠WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, do not place anything on top of the lens during or after operation of the light.
⚠WARNING: Do not place the tripod light in a position which may cause anyone to intentionally or unintentionally stare into the light head. Serious eye injury could result.
⚠WARNING: Only use tripod light on stable, flat surface. Do not raise above work space/personnel via lifting, hoisting, mounting, or suspension.
The label on your tripod light may include the following symbols. The symbols and their definitions are as follows:
Grounding Instructions
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The tripod light must be connected to a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
⚠DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tripod light is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug connected to the tripod light – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
FOR GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED TOOL RATED LESS THAN 15A AND INTENDED FOR USE ON A NOMINAL 120V SUPPLY CIRCUIT
The tripod light is for use on a nominal 120V circuit, and should be connected to a grounding outlet that looks like that illustrated in sketch a. A temporary adaptor, which looks like the adaptor illustrated in sketch b, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch b if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by the metal screw.
NOTE: IN CANADA, THE USE OF A TEMPORARY ADAPTOR IS NOT PERMITTED BY THE CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE. Ensure that the tripod light is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
Use of Extension Cords with Tripod Light
⚠WARNING: Risk of electric shock.
⚠WARNING: Keep electrical cords in good condition. Do not use worn, bare, or frayed cords because they can cause electrical shock.
⚠WARNING: Operating equipment at low voltage can cause it to overheat. Using an excessively long extension cord can cause the cord to overheat.
Only use a grounded extension cord that is rated at least 15 amps and has a third-wire ground. When a long extension cord is used to connect the tripod light, a voltage drop occurs. The longer the cord, the greater the voltage drop. This results in less voltage being supplied to the tripod light and increases the amount of current (amp) draw or reduces performance. A heavier cord with a larger wire size will reduce the voltage drop. Be sure to choose a cord that will supply enough voltage to operate the tripod light. The table below indicates appropriate gauge for extension cords.
