Overview

1. Usage Features
2. Maintenance Features

This document serves as a comprehensive use and care guide for the Husky 2500 Lumen LED Portable Worklight, Model #K40068 (Item #1001 863 384). It provides essential information for assembly, operation, and maintenance, ensuring safe and effective use of the device. The guide emphasizes the importance of adhering to safety precautions to prevent accidents and prolong the lifespan of the worklight.

The Husky 2500 Lumen LED Portable Worklight is designed to provide bright, portable illumination for various tasks, both indoors and outdoors. Its primary function is to cast a powerful beam of light, making it suitable for home improvement projects, workshops, garages, and other environments where additional lighting is needed. The worklight's portability allows for easy relocation and positioning, adapting to different work areas and lighting requirements.

Usage Features:

The worklight is designed for straightforward assembly and operation. The assembly process involves attaching the lamp head to the stand using a screw and nut, a simple procedure that ensures the worklight is stable and ready for use. Once assembled, the worklight offers adjustable features to optimize its lighting capabilities.

• Adjustable Light Direction: The lamp head can be adjusted to direct the light precisely where it's needed. This is achieved by loosening twist knobs on each side of the lamp head, allowing the user to move the head forward or backward to the desired position. After adjustment, the knobs are retightened to secure the lamp head in place. Additionally, the lamp head can be swiveled by loosening the nut that attaches it to the stand, providing further flexibility in light direction. This feature is crucial for illuminating specific areas or objects without having to reposition the entire worklight.

• Simple On/Off Control: The worklight is equipped with an intuitive On/Off switch, making it easy to power the device on or off. Before operation, the worklight must be plugged into a standard 120V outlet. The switch typically features clear markings (e.g., "-" for On and "0" for Off) for user convenience.

• Outdoor Use Capability: The worklight is designed for outdoor use, but with specific safety considerations. It requires the use of 3-wire UL listed outdoor extension cords with 3-prong grounded plugs and receptacles. Furthermore, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection is recommended for circuits or outlets used with the worklight in wet locations. This ensures electrical safety by preventing shocks in damp or wet environments. The manual specifies using extension cords suitable for outdoor use, such as those with cord types like SEW, SEOW, SEOOW, SOW, SOOW, STW, STOW, STOOW, SJEW, SJEOW, SJEOOW, SJW, SJOW, SJOOW, SJTW, SJTOW, or SJTOOW.

• Safety Precautions for Outdoor Use: When using the worklight outdoors, it's critical to avoid using it near heavy volatile fluids like gasoline. The worklight should also be kept away from water sources, such as pools or spas, maintaining a minimum distance of 16 feet. Plugs should always be kept dry, and the worklight should only be used with GFCI-protected outlets when operating in wet locations. These precautions are vital for preventing fire, electrical shock, and personal injury.

Maintenance Features:

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of the Husky 2500 Lumen LED Portable Worklight. The guide outlines simple yet effective steps for care and cleaning, as well as troubleshooting common issues.

• Regular Cleaning: The lamp head, lens cover, and lamp stand should be cleaned regularly using a non-abrasive cleaner. This helps maintain the clarity of the lens and the overall appearance of the worklight, ensuring maximum light output and preventing dust or debris buildup from obstructing the light beam.

• Cool-Down Before Storage: Before storing the worklight, it is essential to allow it to cool down completely. This prevents potential damage to the unit or surrounding items due to residual heat.

• Safe Storage: The worklight should be stored in a safe place, out of the reach of children. This prevents accidental activation or damage and ensures the device is kept in good condition for future use.

• Troubleshooting: If the worklight fails to operate, the manual provides basic troubleshooting steps:

  • Check Power Connection: Ensure the fixture is properly plugged into the power source. A loose or disconnected plug is a common reason for the light not working.
  • Verify Switch Position: Confirm that the On/Off switch is in the "ON" position. Sometimes, the switch may be inadvertently left in the "OFF" position.

The manual also includes a warranty statement, assuring customers of the product's quality and providing recourse in case of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three years from the date of purchase. It clarifies that the warranty does not cover damage resulting from accident, abuse, misuse, or faulty repair.
