Product Information

The product is a portable cabinet light that is designed to provide light inside cabinets. It comes with a power cord and requires assembly before use. The product has safety warnings and precautions that must be followed to avoid possible injury or death. The product is not intended for use in damp locations and should not be operated in explosive atmospheres. The National Electrical Code (NEC) does not permit cords to be concealed where damage to insulation may go unnoticed.

Important Safety Information

• Use only insulated staples or plastic ties to secure cords.
• Route and secure cords so that they will not be pinched or damaged when the cabinet is pushed to the wall.
• Position the portable cabinet light with respect to the cabinet so the lamp replacement markings are able to be read during relamping.
• Not intended for recessed installation in ceilings or soffits.
• The National Electrical Code (NEC) does not permit cords to be concealed where damage to insulation may go unnoticed. To prevent fire danger, do not run cord behind walls, ceilings, soffits, or cabinets where it may be inaccessible for examination. Cords should be visually examined periodically and immediately replaced when any damage is noted.
• Install only according to these instructions. Improper installation can create hazards.
• Avoid electric shock. Keep plugs and receptacles dry. Use only on GFCI-protected circuits.
• Not suitable for damp locations.
• Wear ANSI-approved goggles and heavy-duty work gloves during installation.
• Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate the Light in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The Light generates sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Cord for unplugging the Light. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• Maintain the Light. Check for breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the Light’s operation. If damaged, have it repaired before use? Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained items.
