To unlatch the reel, slowly pull out the cord until the “clicking” noise stops then, holding on to the
cord, let it retract in a controlled way until the cord stop rests against the cord guide rollers.
WARNING
Do not allow the cord to retract without restraining the recoil speed. Never let go of the cord when
rewinding.
Keep the cord and taps dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
The cord reel is not waterproof and is not intended for use in, or around, wet or damp areas.
NEVER attempt to pick up plugged-in power tools or appliances should they fall into standing
water because this could result in electrocution.
Periodically clean the cord.
WARNING
Unplug the power source before cleaning the cord to avoid electrical shock. Use a cloth dipped in
warm water to remove dirt or deposits and ensure correct winding on the reel. Do not use detergents
or solvents which could prove incompatible with cord-winder materials. Allow the cord and
connections to THOROUGHLY dry before plugging the cord back into a power outlet.
Also periodically check the cord condition for wear or damage. See the maintenance section for
the cord replacement procedure.
Note: If the cord reel exceeds the current rating, a circuit breaker in the wiring will open automatically
stopping power at the taps. After a short period, manually press the reset button on the side of the
case to close the circuit breaker.
After Each Use
Inspect the reel casing, mounting parts, and cord periodically after use so that worn or damaged parts
can be ordered and replaced before the next use.
WARNING
Have damaged or worn parts repaired or replaced by an authorized service technician.
DO NOT Open the casing for any reason! The spring inside can be under high tension and
accidental release can cause severe personal injury.
Maintenance
WARNING
Only properly trained persons should open a reel case. Dismantling of the unit by unskilled
personnel could prove hazardous; the risk involved mainly concern the preloaded spring.
Disconnect the power supply from the reel before making any adjustments or changing parts.
