• Do not look directly at lighted bulb. Do not remain in bright light if skin feels warm as you are too
close to the xture.
• Keep xture away from children.
• When replacing the bulb in this xture always turn o and give ample time for lamp to cool. Also
unplug xture from power source. Do not touch the bulb with your ngers as oil from your skin will
damage the bulb and greatly shorten bulb life. Always close face of xture securely before turning

WARNING: GRILL MUST BE INSTALLED ON WORK LIGHT BEFORE OPERATION
WARNING – THIS FIXTURE GETS VERY HOT!!!

tion in the event that the xture tips over and also protects against someone touching the hot
safety glass.
Never use this xture around children. Do not use around combustible materials or
ammable atmospheres such as gasoline or ammable paints.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR WIRE SAFETY GRILL INSTALLATIONS
WARNING: GRILL MUST BE INSTALLED ON WORK LIGHT BEFORE OPERATION
• The Wire Safety Grill has two attachment supports that are exible and two
that are xed. First install the two xed ngers on the downward side of the
work light face in provided slots. Then bend the top two attachment supports
to slide into the provided top slots same as you did on the bottom.
• Next there is a clip around the Safety Wire Grill that will hold the grill rmly
in place by putting the screw through the clips and into the face frame of the
worklight. Use a screwdriver to tighten safety grill screws snug but do not
over tighten.
• Next install the bulb in the oodlight after reading the bulb installation
instructions. Close the oodlight face with the screw. Carefully tighten the
screw, being sure to just snug up. Don’t over tighten as it can stress on the
safety glass causing to break.
BULB INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• If the lamp has been in use at the time it burns out give ample time for the xture to cool before
attempting to change the bulb.
•For safety reasons always unplug the xture from the outlet before attempting to change the
bulb. The switch could accidentally be turned on during this function and cause a potential life
threatening shock under the wrong conditions.
• First loosen the face screw/knob on the frame holding the safety glass and grill in place.
• To remove the old bulb push the bulb gently to the right until the left hand end slides easily out
of the socket. When installing the new bulb wear clean gloves or use a clean cloth to avoid getting oil
from your hands on the bulb. Insert the right end of bulb against
the right hand contact of the socket and push very gently until the
left hand end is free to come into contact with the left socket. Be sure
both ends of bulb are securely seated against both socket contacts.
If bulb comes into contact with your skin – clean with alcohol to
remove any oil residue.
• Now carefully replace the safety glass face of the xture and tighten
the face screw/knob again rmly – but do not over tighten.
• Now your xture is again ready for use. Plug in your xture – being
careful not to point it in anyone’s eyes. For safety always be sure you use
a grounded outlet for your 3-wire grounded cord. If the xture does
not work, push the on/o switch. (It may be in the o position).
WARNING: Never look at or point the xture directly at anyone’s
eyes as the bright light may damage sensitive eyes.
• The bulb life will vary due to handling of the xture and voltage surges.
The bulb, therefore, cannot be warranted in any way. Using the xture in a
horizontal position will extend the bulb life. Use of improper bulbs will void
your warranty on this xture.
