Before Each Use
 Check for damaged reel parts and for a frayed, worn, or lacerated power cord before each use.
Carefully check that the reel will operate properly and perform its intended function. Replace
damaged or worn parts immediately. Never operate the reel with a damaged part.
 As with any electrical device, dry your hands before using the reel.
Operating Instructions
⚠WARNING
 Do not use the reel where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g., in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The tool can create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.
 Do not exceed the reel's rated amps with one, two, or three tools plugged into the reel's triple tap.
(See the technical specs for each reel's rating.) Exceeding the rated capacity could result in loss of
power and overheating.
 Always pull on the cord itself. Never pull on the attachment.
 Keep away from heating vents, radiators, or other sources of heat.
 Exercise care when handling the reel during normal operation. Reels have a rotating drum
powered by a spring under tension. Do not allow the cord to retract without restraining the recoil
speed. Never let go of the cord when rewinding.
 Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating the tool. Do not allow
children to handle it.
 Check the reel for correct operation by slowly pulling out the cord. A “clicking” noise will be heard
every half revolution of the drum.
 To latch the reel, pull out the cord then allow it to retract after hearing the first, second, or third
“click”.
