This document is the owner's manual for the "30 L.E.D. WORKLIGHT," identified by Item Number W2250. It provides essential information regarding the safe operation, maintenance, and specifications of the work light.

Function Description

The 30 L.E.D. Worklight is designed to provide illumination in various work environments. It is a portable lighting device intended for general use, likely in workshops, garages, or other settings where additional light is required. The manual emphasizes that it is not intended for use as a power source. Its primary function is to enhance visibility, thereby improving safety and efficiency during tasks. The device is equipped with multiple LED lights to ensure bright and consistent illumination.

Important Technical Specifications

• Item Number: W2250
• Light Source: 30-5mm L.E.D. (Light Emitting Diode)
• Power Supply: 120V AC
• Cord: 6 foot, 18GA (Gauge)

These specifications indicate that the work light operates on standard household alternating current and utilizes 30 individual 5mm LEDs for its light output. The 6-foot, 18-gauge power cord suggests a reasonable length for typical use while maintaining durability. The manual states that specifications are subject to change without notice, which is a common disclaimer for manufactured products.

Usage Features

The manual outlines several key usage features and safety guidelines:

• General Safety: Users are instructed to read and understand the entire manual before assembly, installation, operation, or maintenance. Failure to comply can result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
• Work Area Conditions: The work light should not be used in damp or wet locations, or exposed to rain or snow. The work area must be well-lighted, and the tool should not be used in the presence of flammable gases or liquids, as sparks could ignite dust or fumes. The work area should be kept clean, well-ventilated, and well-lit to prevent accidents.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Users are advised to wear ANSI-approved safety goggles, dusk masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, heavy-duty work gloves, or hearing protection as appropriate for the conditions.
• Bystander Safety: Bystanders, children, and visitors should be kept away from the operating area to prevent distractions and loss of control.
• Operator Alertness: Operators must remain alert, watch what they are doing, and use common sense. The product should not be used when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. Proper footing and balance must be maintained, and operators should avoid reaching over or across running machines, hoses, or cords.
• Electrical Safety:
  • Power tool plugs must match the outlet, and plugs should never be modified. Adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools should not be used.
  • Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces (pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerators) to reduce the risk of electric shock.
  • The power cord should not be abused; it should not be used for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the tool. It must be kept away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Always grasp the plug, not the cord, when unplugging.
  • When operating outdoors, an extension cord suitable for outdoor use should be used.
  • The power tool should only be used on adequately rated circuits to prevent overheating.
  • Accidental starting should be prevented by ensuring the switch is in the "OFF" position before connecting to a power source or carrying the tool.
  • The power tool should not be used if the switch does not turn it on and off; such a tool must be repaired.
  • The plug should be disconnected from the power source before making any adjustments or changing bulbs. The work light and any connected equipment should be unplugged when not in use.
• Pacemaker Considerations: Individuals with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use due to potential electromagnetic interference. They should avoid operating alone, properly maintain and inspect the tool to avoid electrical shock, and ensure any power cord is properly grounded. The implementation of a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is recommended to prevent sustained electrical shock.

Maintenance Features

• Regular Inspection: The owner/operator is responsible for maintaining the unit in good working order and ensuring all decals or warning labels are intact. The product should be inspected per the operating instructions.
• Pre-Use Inspection: Before every use, the tool should be inspected for loose or damaged parts. It should not be used if parts are loose or damaged.
• Damage Rectification: If the product is damaged during shipment, handling, or misuse, it should NOT be operated until parts have been replaced or the fault rectified. All damaged parts must be repaired or replaced as needed before operating. All nuts, bolts, and fittings should be checked for security before putting the product into service.
• No Alterations: The product should not be altered, spliced, repaired, or modified in any way.
• Label Maintenance: Labels and nameplates on the tool, which carry important safety information, must be maintained. If unreadable or missing, Performance Tool® should be contacted for a replacement.
