Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

IMPORTANT:  Be sure you have the proper electrical connection before you install the power strip on the workbench

NOTE: Before moving or cleaning the workbench disconnect the power strip from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the power strip to the electrical source.
Over-Current Circuit Protection
The power strip is designed with a visual over-current protection switch that operates as follows:
Over-current protection switch is in the ON position and the green light is lit
The circuit has not tripped and the power strip can be used.
The over-current switch has been tripped
The green light will go out, and the over-current protection switch will move to the OFF position. Unplug all items from the power strip. To restore power, push the over-current protection switch back to the ON position. Plug items back in one at a time, while watching to see if the green light goes out and the over-current protection switch moves to the OFF position again. If it does, unplug items until you are sure that the green light is remaining lit and the over-current protection switch is remaining in the ON position
