8. Do not touch the bulb at any time.  
Use a soft cloth. Oil from skin may  
damage bulb.  
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 prox-  
imity to heart pacemaker could cause  
pacemaker interference or pacemak-  
er failure. In addition, people with  
pacemakers should:  
9. Do not operate the Light with a miss-  
ing or damaged housing (3), lens  
(21), or grid (23). (See assembly  
diagram.)  
10. Risk of electric shock. Do not use  
with extension cord near water or  
where water may accumulate. Keep  
lamp at least 16 feet (5m) from pools  
and spas. Keep plugs and recep-  
tacles dry. For use only on GFCI-  
protected circuits. Suitable for wet  
location use.  
Avoid operating alone.  
Properly maintain and inspect to  
avoid electrical shock.  
Any power cord must be properly  
grounded. Ground Fault Circuit  
Interrupter (GFCI) should also be  
implemented – it prevents sustained  
electrical shock.  
11. Maintain labels and nameplates on  
the Light. These carry important  
safety information. If unreadable or  
missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools  
for a replacement.  
19. WARNING: Handling the cord on  
this product will expose you to lead,  
a chemical known to the State of  
California to cause cancer, and birth  
defects or other reproductive harm.  
Wash hands after handling.  
12. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare  
to begin work before turning on the  
Light.  
(California Health & Safety Code §  
25249.5, et seq.)  
13. Allow the unit to cool down before  
changing bulbs or storing it.  
20. The warnings, precautions, and in-  
structions discussed in this instruction  
manual cannot cover all possible con-  
ditions 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.  
14. 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.  
15. Do not let cord hang over edge of  
table or counter, or touch hot sur-  
faces.  
general Safety rules  
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 leav-  
ing.  
1. work area safety  
a. Keep work area clean and well lit.  
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-  
dents.

b. Do not operate Lights in explosive  
atmospheres, such as in the pres-  
ence of flammable liquids, gases or  
dust. Halogen Lights create heat  
which may ignite the dust or fumes.  
b. use safety equipment. always  
wear eye protection. Safety  
equipment such as dust mask,  
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,  
or hearing protection used for ap-  
propriate conditions will reduce  
personal injuries.  
c. Keep children and bystanders  
away while operating. Distrac-  
tions can cause you to lose con-  
trol.  
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure  
the switch is in the off-position be-  
fore plugging in. Plugging in Lights  
that have the switch on invites ac-  
cidents.  
2. electrical safety  
a. Light plugs must match the outlet.  
Never modify the plug in any way.  
Do not use any adapter plugs with  
grounded Lights. Unmodified plugs  
and matching outlets will reduce risk  
of electric shock.  
d. Do not overreach. Keep proper foot-  
ing and balance at all times. This  
enables better control of the Light in  
unexpected situations.  
e. Dress properly. Do not wear loose  
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,  
clothing and gloves away from mov-  
ing parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or  
long hair can be caught in moving  
parts.  
b. 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.  
c. do not abuse the cord. never use  
the cord for carrying, pulling or  
unplugging the light. Keep cord  
away from heat, oil, sharp edges  
or moving parts. Damaged or  
entangled cords increase the risk  
of electric shock.  
4. light use and care  
a. Do not use the Light if the switch  
does not turn it on and off. Any Light  
that cannot be controlled with the  
switch is dangerous and must be  
repaired.  
d. When operating a Light outdoors,  
use an extension cord suitable for  
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable  
for outdoor use reduces the risk of  
electric shock.  
b. disconnect the plug from the  
power source before making any  
adjustments or storing lights.  
Such preventive safety measures  
reduce the risk of starting the  
Light accidentally.  
3. personal safety  
c. Maintain Lights. Check for misalign-  
ment or binding of moving parts,  
breakage of parts and any other  
condition that may affect the Light’s  
operation. If damaged, have the  
Light repaired before use.  
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing  
and use common sense when op-  
erating a Light. Do not use a Light  
while you are tired or under the influ-  
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication.  
A moment of inattention while op-  
erating Lights may result in serious  
personal injury.  
d. Use the Light, in accordance with  
these instructions and in the man-

ner intended for the particular type  
of Light, taking into account the  
working conditions and the work  
to be performed. Use of the Light  
for operations different from those  
intended could result in a hazardous  
situation.  
grounded tools: tools with three  
prong plugs  
5. Service  
a. Have your Light serviced by a quali-  
fied repair person using only iden-  
tical replacement parts. This will  
ensure that the safety of the Light is  
maintained.  
3-prong plug and outlet  
1. Tools marked with “Grounding Re-  
quired” 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 3-prong plug  
and outlet.)

2. The grounding prong in the plug is  
connected through the green wire in-

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.  
3. The 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  
preceding illustration. (See 3-prong  
plug and outlet.)
