The Arlec 4-in-1 250W Portable halogen worklight is suitable for indoor (ambient temperature
25˚C) or temporary outdoor use. The worklight can be plugged into a standard power point and
has a weatherproof classification of IP44.
The 4 -IN - 1 HL254 worklight can be
assembled in 4 different configurations.
Base Stand
Fix the worklight support bracket onto H base
stand using a bolt, washer and threaded knob.
Ensure that the threaded knob is tight and
firmly holds the stand assembly together.
Side wing knob allows the tilt adjustment of
the worklight head.
NOTE:
The safety adjustment stop prevents
the worklight head from tilting too far forward.
This helps to avoid accidental scorching or
burning. Do not remove support bracket
from worklight body.
When adjusting the worklight head tilt, tighten
the side wing knob with finger pressure only,
do not over tighten. While adjusting the
lamp head avoid pinching or bending of
the supply cord.
CONFIGURATIONS
In addition to the H base stand, HL254 can be
alternatively assembled with either a clamp,
stake or hook attachment.
Heavy Duty Clamp
The heavy duty clamp can be attached to the
support bracket either vertically or
horizontally depending on which screw
attachment point is used. For both
configurations fix the worklight support
bracket on to clamp using a wing screw and a
washer. The black wing threaded knob used to
mount the H base stand is used for vertical
configuration where as for horizontal
configuration use the yellow threaded knob
mounted on the clamp body.
Heavy Duty Portable Worklight Stake
Attach the heavy duty stake to the worklight
support bracket using the threaded knob and a
washer.
Hang Hook
The hang hook can be attached to the main worklight body using the ‘front cover screw’ located
on the rear of the unit below the handle as shown.
WARNING:
When the worklight is operated outdoors the supply plug must be appropriately covered or
located such that it is subjected to indoor conditions only.
If the external flexible cable or cord of this worklight is damaged, contact the Arlec Customer
Service Team (Refer to details on back page) or a similar qualified person in order to avoid hazard.
The tungsten halogen tubes are supplied and packed separately to avoid damage. Ensure that
worklight is unplugged from wall socket. Open the worklight housing by loosening the front cover
screw located on the rear of the unit below the carry handle. The glass front of the housing will
hinge forward and down. Insert the tube in the holder, ensuring that you do not touch the glass
envelope of the tube with bare hands. Use the tube wrapper to handle the tube. (Oils from the
hands can cause the tube to fail or shatter).
If necessary the tube should be carefully cleaned with methylated spirit and dried before
installation. Do not attempt to adjust or force the tube holder with tools, but carefully push the
tube into the holder contacts. Reassemble the worklight housing.
Extreme care should be taken when handling and operating the halogen worklight HL254.
Please observe the following do’s and don’ts to ensure safe and trouble free use:
DO
ensure combustible material is kept away from worklight.
DO
use the handle to adjust the beam.
