Do you have a question about the ATD Tools 1000 and is the answer not in the manual?
The ATD-1000 is a dual 500W quartz halogen work light mounted on a tripod stand, designed to provide powerful illumination for various work environments. This robust lighting solution is manufactured in China to ATD Tools, Inc. specifications, ensuring quality and reliability.
The primary function of the ATD-1000 is to deliver bright, focused light to a work area, enhancing visibility and safety. It utilizes two 500-watt quartz halogen bulbs, which are known for their high light output and crisp, white light, making it suitable for tasks requiring clear illumination. The dual-head design allows for a broader spread of light or the ability to direct light in two different directions simultaneously, offering versatility for various applications such as construction sites, workshops, garages, and outdoor projects. The tripod stand elevates the light source, minimizing shadows and providing an even distribution of light across the workspace.
The ATD-1000 is designed with user convenience and safety in mind. Before operation, users are advised to read all instructions thoroughly, covering safety warnings, precautions, assembly, operation, and maintenance procedures.
For enhanced stability, especially on uneven ground or in windy conditions, the tripod legs can be suitably weighted down to prevent tipping, which could cause damage to the unit or injury to individuals. The unit should always be unplugged and allowed to cool before being moved or before any parts are replaced. It is crucial to note that the unit must not be immersed in water, and the power cord should always be unplugged before performing any maintenance.
The lamp housing can reach temperatures of up to 230°F, so it should not be installed within six feet of combustible material. Users should avoid moving the light or replacing bulbs with wet hands, or while standing on a wet or damp surface. The lamp should not be used in hazardous locations where flammable or explosive environments are present. Direct exposure to the high operating temperatures can burn the skin, so users should not sit directly in front of the unit. Furthermore, looking directly into the lamp when switched on can cause eye damage.
When using an extension cord, it is essential to ensure it is fully unwound. The manufacturer recommends using a ground fault interrupter (GFI) with the ATD Halogen Light for added safety. The unit should not be used if it has a broken lens, casing, or a damaged power cord.
Adjusting the angle of the lamps is straightforward: users can loosen the black knob on either side of the black mounting bracket, move the lamp to the desired angle, and then tighten the two knobs to secure it. To extend the tripod, the black knobs are twisted counter-clockwise, the post is extended to the desired level, and then the knob is re-tightened by twisting clockwise. These adjustments should only be made by hand, without the use of wrenches or pliers. Similarly, the tripod legs can be adjusted by loosening the knob on the top bracket, sliding the legs down to the desired level, and then re-tightening the knob.
Maintenance primarily involves bulb replacement and ensuring proper contact between the lamp and socket. When replacing a bulb, the top screw in the lamp housing cover is unscrewed. The halogen bulb should be handled with a soft cloth. One end of the bulb is carefully located into the ceramic mounting. While pushing that end against the metal pins, the other end is gently slid into position in the other ceramic mounting until it is secure. Force should not be used during installation. A critical note for bulb replacement is to NEVER TOUCH THE BULB WITH FINGERS, as this will cause damage. If the bulb has been touched, it should be carefully wiped with a soft cloth dampened with methylated spirits. Once the bulb is in position, the lamp housing is replaced and firmly screwed into place.
Troubleshooting guidance is provided for situations where the lamp does not operate. If the bulb is broken, it should be replaced. If there is poor contact between the lamp and socket, users should check to ensure the lamp is securely installed. In cases of improper wiring or incorrect voltage (too high/low at the fixture), the unit should be checked by a qualified electrician, and the power supply should also be checked by a qualified electrician. These maintenance and troubleshooting steps help ensure the longevity and safe operation of the ATD-1000 work light.
