The Twin Head Compact Fluorescent Worklight WL552 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.
Assemble the worklight as shown in diagram.
To assemble the worklight on a tripod stand, loosen
the locking knob on the tripod and then push down
the black locking bracket until the legs are fully
extended. Tighten the locking knob. Always make
sure the central telescopic pole is vertical for
maximum stability and safety while the outer tube sits
flat on the black metal cap at the bottom and is
secured by a wing knob.
Next mount the cross bar on the metal bracket
attached at the top of the tripod inner pole with a
threaded knob. Ensure that the knob is tight, firmly
holding the assembly together.
Fix the worklight heads to the cross bar using a bolt
and a threaded knob. Ensure that the threaded knobs
are tight, firmly holding the assembly together.
NOTE: Arlec safety adjustment stop prevents
worklight heads from tilting too far forward.
This helps avoid accidental scorching or burning.
Do not remove support bracket from worklight head.
When adjusting the worklight head tilt, tighten the
side lever with finger pressure only, do not over
tighten. While adjusting the lamp head avoid pinching
or bending of the supply cord.
Fix the 'Y' junction of the power cord to the rear of
the crossbar.
The poles of the tripod stand may be raised by
loosening the plastic locking ring (anti clockwise
direction) and extending the sections.
Tighten locking ring (clockwise direction) to hold in
place.
Two locking knobs on the tripod allow height
adjustment up to 1700mm.
