FOR GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED TRIPOD LIGHTS RATED LESS THAN 15A AND
INTENDED FOR USE ON A NOMINAL 120V SUPPLY CIRCUIT
The tripod light is for use on a nominal 120V
circuit, and should be connected to a
grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in sketch a. A temporary adaptor,
which looks like the adaptor illustrated in
sketch b, may be used to connect this plug
to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch b if

a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green
colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adaptor must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor
is used, it must be held in place by the metal screw.
IN CANADA, THE USE OF A TEMPORARY ADAPTOR IS NOT PERMITTED BY THE
CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance.

Only use a grounded extension cord that is rated at least 12 amps and has a third-wire
ground. When a long extension cord is used to connect a tripod light or tool, a voltage drop
occurs. The longer the cord, the greater the voltage drop. This results in less voltage being
supplied to the tripod light or tool and increases the amount of current (amp) draw or
reduces performance. A heavier cord with a larger wire size will reduce the voltage drop.
Be sure to choose a cord that will supply enough voltage to operate your tool and/or
tripod light. The table below indicates appropriate gauge for extension cords.
WARNING:
Keep electrical cords in good condition. Do not use worn, bare, or
frayed cords because they can cause electrical shock.
WARNING:
Operating equipment at low voltage can cause it to overheat. Using an
excessively long extension cord can cause the cord to overheat.
