OPERATIONS AND USE

WARNING:
FOR FLYING LEADS:
This light is not supplied with a plug. If the light is used
in a hazardous location environment, it must be
terminated with a suitable plug or hard wired into an
appropriate junction box rated for the environment it
is to be used in. Comply with all NEC Rules and Regu-
lations when terminating light with a plug. Failure to
comply with this could result in an explosion, electri-cal
shock, or personal injury.
CAUTION:
Follow manufacturer's instructions for attaching plug
to light ensuring all wires are properly terminated and
grounded.
CAUTION:
When hanging the light using the hook, use an ap-
propriate entity capable of holding at least 6 lbs. (2.72
kg).

PLUG OPERATION

Electrical connection between plug and compatible receptacle is accomplished after plug fully inserts into receptacle and is rotated
clockwise.
1. Lift receptacle door and locate polarization on mating plug pin and receptacle face. Insert plug straight all the
way into receptacle until it cannot go further.
2. Rotate plug clockwise limit (37º), this closes internal contacts and completes circuit. This also mechanically locks
plug into receptacle so it cannot be pulled out.
3. To remove plug, push plug inward and turn to counterclockwise, pull plug straight out.

NON-HAZARDOUS area. The integrity of the component
assembly and flame-path must be maintained in order
to provide adequate protection for personnel using this
light. Comply with all NEC Rules and Regulations when
performing maintenance operations. Failure to comply

cal shock.
Make a thorough visual inspection of the work light for any
chips, cracks, or burns within the glass, aluminum handle,
and cage. Check the entire length of the cord for any frays
or visible wires that could affect the performance of the
light. Check that all the rubber bumpers are integral with
the aluminum. If there are any frays in the cord, cracks in
the glass or disturbances in the aluminum outside of nor-
mal wear, remove the light from service immediately and
contact Larson Electronics for replacement.

nal parts do not require cleaning. Applying solvent could
result in damage to the electrical equipment.
The EPL-FL26-LED can be cleaned applying Simple Green®
or an equivalent cleanser and wiping any dust or grease off
