Retractable Cord Reel features an impact-resistant polypropylene case to keep the
cord tangle-free and easy to wind. For convenience, it mounts to the wall or ceiling and swivels 180°. The locking device
(ratchet and pawl), which is located inside the unit, is designed to function by gravity, eliminating the need for springs and
lubrication, etc.

BEFORE USE
Prior to each use conduct a visual inspection checking for abnormal conditions, such as cracks and damaged, loose, or
missing parts.
•
Check for damaged reel parts and for a frayed, worn, or lacerated power cord before each use.
•
Carefully check that the reel will operate properly and perform its intended function.
•
Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never operate the reel with a damaged part.
•
As with any electrical device, dry your hands before using the reel.
3.
OPERATION
•
Check the reel for correct operation by slowly pulling out the cord. A “clicking” noise will be heard every half revolution
of the drum.
•
To latch the
reel, pull out the cord then allow it to retract after hearing the first, second, or third “click”.
•
To unlatch the reel, slowly pull out the cord until the “clicking” noise stops then, holding on to the cord, let it retract i
n a
controlled way until the cord stop rests against the cord guide rollers.
WARNING
:
Do not allow the cord to retract without restraining the recoil speed. Never let go of the cord
when rewinding.
•
Keep the cord and taps dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
•
The cord reel is not waterproof and is not intended for use in, or around, wet or damp areas. NEVER attempt to pick up
plugged-in power tools or appliances should they fall into standing water because this could result in electrocution.
•
Periodically clean the cord.
WARNING!
: Unplug the power source before cleaning the cord to avoid electrical shock. Use a cloth dipped in warm
water to remove dirt or deposits and ensure correct winding on the reel. Do not use detergents or solvents which could
prove incompatible with cord-winder materials. Allow the cord and connections to THOROUGHLY dry before plugging
the cord back into a power outlet.
•
Also periodically check the cord condition for wear or damage. See the maintenance section for the cord replacement
procedure.
Note: If the cord reel exceeds the current rating, a circuit breaker in the wiring will open automatically stopping power at
the taps. After a short period, manually press the reset button on the side of the case to close the circuit breaker.
