Safety Rules When Replacing High Intensity Discharge (HID) Xenon Bulbs

When replacing xenon bulbs or ballast, always comply with the following safety instruction:

CAUTION: Turn OFF light switch and allow the bulb to cool before changing bulbs. Leave switch OFF until bulb change is complete.

Never insert foreign objects or fingers into the bulb holder (high-tension voltage - potential for FATAL ACCIDENTS).

The ballast unit must never be operated when the bulb is missing, as this may cause a dangerous flash-over at the bulb sockets, resulting in serious damage (high-tension voltage - potential for FATAL ACCIDENTS).

If a xenon bulb ever bursts inside a closed space (e.g. workshop), leave the area, making sure it is well ventilated, and wait 20 minutes before returning. This will eliminate the risk to health caused by gases.

High-tension voltage is conducted by the electrical connection between the work lights and the ballast unit; this connection must never be broken (high-tension voltage - potential for FATAL ACCIDENTS).

Make sure that the power supply line between the work lights and ballast unit is never twisted more than 90 degrees and/or bent more than a length of 20 mm (0.8 in.).

Wear eye protection when changing xenon bulbs.

The bulbs contain xenon gas under pressure and metallic salts. Handling a bulb improperly could cause it to shatter into flying fragments.

DO NOT use any bulbs that have fallen on the ground or have scratches on their surface, as there is a risk of them shattering.

Make sure that the bulb is seated correctly in its holder in the light.

Check the light for signs of damage and make sure the seals are seated correctly.

IMPORTANT: Handle the bulb by its base. Avoid touching the glass.

Place used bulb in the new bulb's carton and dispose of properly. Keep out of reach of children.

Do not drop or scratch the bulb. Keep moisture away.

Use a clean cloth and alcohol to remove any fingerprints from the glass bulb.
