Work Site Considerations
Prior to setting up and operating the work light, the operator
must determine where to place it on the work site. It is the
operator's responsibility to ensure that the work light is properly
and safely positioned on at the work site. Be sure to follow rules
or instructions for your work site, and any state, province and
federal rules that may apply.
Overhead Obstructions
Always keep well clear of any overhead power wires. Make sure
there are no overhead obstructions where you intend to place
the portable work light. Keep clear of any loose cables, ropes
or obstructions that could ensnare the mast or lamp fixture.
When the mast is fully elevated, the portable work light stands
12.0 feet (3.7 m) from ground level to the top of the lamp fixture.
DANGER
Electrocution Hazard.
Contact with overhead electrical wires will result in death or
serious injury. Always follow the rules or instructions for your
work site, and the state, province and federal rules for
maintaining a safe distance from overhead wires.
Wetness & Wind
The portable work light must be placed on a dry surface away
from areas that might become wet.
