Setup and Installation
This retractable cord reel can be mounted on a ceiling or wall. Ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound to support the weight of the reel and the forces applied during cord extension and retraction.
Mounting Location Selection
- Choose a location that allows for the full 180-degree swivel range without obstruction.
- Ensure the mounting point is near a power outlet for the 4.5 ft lead-in cord.
- For ceiling mounting, attach to a ceiling joist or a secure structural beam.
- For wall mounting, attach to wall studs or use appropriate heavy-duty anchors for your wall type.
Installation Steps
- Position the Mounting Bracket: Hold the mounting bracket against the desired ceiling or wall location. Mark the positions for drilling.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes appropriate for the provided mounting hardware.
- Secure the Bracket: Attach the mounting bracket securely to the surface using the provided screws and anchors. Ensure it is firmly fixed.
- Attach the Cord Reel: Slide the cord reel onto the mounting bracket. The reel should click into place or be secured with a pin/screw if provided (refer to specific hardware instructions).
- Connect Power: Plug the 4.5 ft lead-in cord into a grounded power outlet.

Operating Instructions
Extending the Cord
- Grasp the triple tap end of the cord and pull it slowly to the desired length.
- The cord will lock at various intervals. Listen for clicks as you pull.
- Once the desired length is reached, stop pulling. The cord will lock in place.
- Plug your tools or appliances into the triple tap outlets. The outlets are lighted to indicate power.

Retracting the Cord
- To retract the cord, pull it out slightly further until the locking mechanism disengages.
- Slowly guide the cord back into the reel. Do not release the cord abruptly, as this can cause damage or injury.
- Ensure the cord retracts smoothly and without tangles.

Adjusting the Stopper
- The adjustable stopper allows you to customize the length of the cord that remains extended when fully retracted.
- To adjust, loosen the screws on the stopper, slide it to the desired position on the cord, and then tighten the screws firmly.

Maintenance
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the entire cord for any signs of damage, cuts, or fraying. Check the plug and outlets for wear.
- Cleaning: Wipe the cord and reel housing with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the unit is unplugged before cleaning.
- Storage: When not in use, ensure the cord is fully retracted and stored in a dry, protected area.
- Circuit Breaker Test: Occasionally test the circuit breaker by intentionally overloading it with a low-power device (e.g., a small lamp) and observing if it trips. Reset it afterward.
