GENERAL SAFETY RULES
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Part Number IMS91200-2BJ
1. Before using this worklight, please read this Operator’s
Manual and observe the safety rules.
2. Make sure the power supply voltage matches the
voltage rating shown on the worklight
3. Keep worklight out of reach of children or other
untrained persons. The worklight must not be used by
children or those not qualified to work with it.
Worklights can be dangerous in the hands of untrained
users. To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is
necessary when this worklight is used around children.
4. Do not use the worklight if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Have the worklight repaired by a qualified
W. F. Harris Lighting, Inc. service representative. Call
.800.842-9345 and follow instructions provided.
5. Only a technician qualified by W. F. Harris Lighting,
Inc. can service this worklight. Do not disassemble the
worklight if it fails to function. Contact
W. F. Harris Lighting, Inc. Customer Service at
(800.842.9345) for service information.
6. To reduce the risk of electric shock when operating
worklight outdoors, use only extension cords suitable
for outdoor use.
7. The external metal features of the worklight are
connected to earth ground. Avoid contact with
energized terminals or ungrounded equipment. To
avoid electrocution, do not hold worklight while
performing work on energized equipment.
8. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling, or suspending the worklight. Unplug the power
cord by grasping the body of the plug and pulling
straight from the receptacle. Never unplug by pulling
on the cord. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges, and moving parts. Do not allow vehicle traffic
to drive over the cord or allow the cord to be closed
in doorways. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock. Check for frayed and broken
wires and damage to the cord and plug before each
use.
9. Do not use the worklight in wet conditions or expose
worklight to rain. The worklight is not designed to be
used in a manner that water may enter it. Under damp
conditions, worklight must be used under protective
overhead cover.
10. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not put
worklight in water or other liquid. Do not place or store
the worklight where it can fall or be pulled into a
water-filled area.
11. Do not operate worklight near flammable liquids or in
areas where there may be explosive atmospheres
containing gases or dust. Switch operation may
become source of ignition under these conditions.
12. Keep the worklight dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never
use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products,
or any strong solvent to clean the worklight.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better
control of the worklight in unexpected situations. Do
not use on a ladder or unstable support.
14. For work areas requiring use of more than one
worklight, the worklight may be daisy-chained using
the GCOs. However, no more than six (6) worklights
may be connected in this manner and the GCO on the
last worklight in the chain must not have anything
connected to it.
Grounded Worklight with Three Prong Plugs:
Worklights equipped with a three wire cord and a three-
prong grounding plug must be connected to a properly
grounded outlet (Figure A).
In the unlikely event that the
worklight should electrically
malfunction, this grounding
provides a low resistance path
to carry electricity away from
the user, reducing the risk of
electric shock. Do not use
grounding adapters with this
worklight.
When using the worklight
outdoors, it must be
connected to a GFCI-protected receptacle.
Grounded Convenience Outlet:
The Heavy Duty worklights are equipped with a Grounded
Convenience Outlet that can be used to daisy-chain up to 6
lights total or power one (1) electrical tool or accessory that
consumes 10 Amps or less. When used in a daisy-chained
configuration, the last GCO must be unconnected.
Two Maximum-Secure Magnets, 180 lb. Pull Weight Each
Worklight includes two 5” magnets with a working temperature
of 0°F —176°F. Use care to not attach magnets to surface
being worked that is above 176°F. Avoid injury by ensuring that
no objects will be between the back of the worklight and any
potential mounting surface.

OPERATION
Part Number IMS91200-2BJ
Extension Cords:
If an extension cord is being used, W. F. Harris Lighting Inc.
worklights require a three wire extension cord. As the
distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a
heavier gauge extension cord as shown at right. Using
extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a drop
in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible worklight
malfunction.
• In order for the battery backup function to operate for the
maximum duration, the worklight must be plugged into a
120V receptacle for a minimum of 48 hours. The battery
will charge while the power switch is in the off position as
indicated by the charge indicator light.
• To operate the worklight in AC mode, plug into a 120V
60Hz standard receptacle and turn the switch on.
• For units equipped with a battery backup, the battery
backup feature is also controlled by the power switch. If
the power switch is in the off position, the battery backup
feature is also off.
• Use caution when attaching worklight to mounting
surface. Do not put fingers between worklight and wall
when mounting.
• Do not store your worklight in a damp or wet location. Do
not store in locations where the temperature is less than
32°F or more than 100°F. Do not store worklights in
vehicles or in outside sheds.
MAINTENANCE
Prior to performing any maintenance operation, the power cord must be disconnected and secured.
Upon removal, cover the battery pack’s terminals with heavy-duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to destroy or
disassemble battery pack or remove any of its components. Nickle-cadmium batteries must be recycled or disposed of
properly. Also never touch both terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as short circuit may result. Keep away
from children. Failure to comply with these warnings could results in fire and/or serious injury.
WARNING!
!
CLEANING
• The lens and housing may be cleaned with a soft cloth
using mild soap solution.
• Commercially-available cleaning products that are spe-
cifically formulated for cleaning polycarbonate may also
be used.
• Care should be exercised to ensure that any dirt or grime
on the lens not be permitted to scratch the lens.
• On models equipped with a GCO, care should be
exercised to avoid contaminating the GCO receptacle
with excess amounts of cleaning solution or the mild
soap solution.
• Avoid using sprays directly on the housing of the
product. Always lightly spray the cloth then wipe the
worklight.

should perform battery replacement. Contact
W. F. Harris Lighting, Inc. Customer Service for
