SAFETY INFORMATION
•
DO NOT connect the bare or green insulation fixture ground wire to the black (HOT) current-carrying
wire or the white (NEUTRAL) house wire. Connection of the bare or green fixture ground wire to the
black or white house wires may cause metal parts of the fixture to carry electrical currents. Under this
condition anyone coming in contact with the fixture will receive electrical shock, which could cause
serious injury or death.
•
DO NOT damage or cut the wire insulation (covering) during installation of fixture. DO NOT permit
wires to contact any surface having a sharp edge. To do so may damage or cut the wire insulation,
which could cause serious injury or death from electrical shock.
•
All electrical connections must be in agreement with local codes and ordinances, the National Electric
Code (NEC) and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. Contact your municipal building department to learn about
your local codes, permits and/or inspections.
Risk of
fire - most dwellings built before 1985 have
supply wire rated for 140°F. Consult a qualified electrician before installation.
•
To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fixture parts with sharp
edges.
•
DO NOT suspend any fixture by the house wires. A fixture must always be mounted directly to an
outlet box or to a mounting plate which is first attached to the outlet box. Wire connectors will not
support the weight of a fixture. Suspending a fixture by the house wires and wire connectors will
result in the fixture falling, with the possibility of personal injury and the danger of electrical shock or
fire.
•
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this
light
fixture are designed to accept only one 12-gauge house wire and two lead wires from the light fixture.
If your house wire is larger than 12-gauge or there is more than one house wire to connect to th
e
corresponding fix
ture lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.
