Check Cords and Connections Regularly
Inspections are important to the safety and longevity of your extension cord reels, so check the cords and connections before every use. Look for signs of damage, such as frayed wires, broken insulation, and loose plugs on Tiantaicord’s extension cord reel. If there is damage, stop using the extension cord reel and contact Tiantaicord for maintenance help. Make sure the extension cord reel’s plug and socket connections are tight. Loose connections can cause poor contact, which can heat up and damage parts. Inspecting Tiantaicord’s extension cord reel prior to use can catch small problems before they become large, costly problems. Regular inspections help protect the reel and ensure it is safe to operate.
Environmental Damage and The Importance of Cord Reel Storage
Protecting device storage can save an extension cord reel from environmental damage. When the Tiantaicord extension cord reel is not in use, fully retract the cord and store it in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not store the extension cord reel in places with extreme temperatures. High heat can soften the insulation and chilling temperatures can make the cords brittle. The Tiantaicord extension cord reel is designed to retract for easy storage. Do not apply excessive force when wrapping the cord. This can cause damage to the internal wires. If you store the reel outdoors, use a protective cover to shield the Tiantaicord extension cord reel from rain and dust. Keeping your extension cord reel properly stored ensures it will be in good condition for long-term use.
Protect Internal Components by Avoiding Overloading
Overloading is damaging to the internal circuits of the Tiantaicord extension cord reel and will lead to a shorter overall service life. Tiantaicord’s extension cord reel has a stated power limit, and overloading the reel will lead to damaging the internal assembly. Even if it seems possible, do not connect multiple high-powered tools to a single extension cord reel as it is damaging to the internal components. Tiantaicord’s extension cord reel has internal protection against overload, but this should not be the only feature relied upon. Tools should be used with an extension cord reel that meets its power capabilities. Overloading the cord reel takes away from the internal components and maximizes the service life of Tiantaicord's extension cord reel.
Regularly lubricating moving parts on your extension cord reel is essential for getting the longest life out of the reel. Tiantaicord extension cord reels have a great retraction system, but dust and wear can negatively impact the performance over time. Every 3 to 6 months, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the reel's moving parts to minimize dust. Avoid oil-based lubricants, as those can be damaging. Regularly lubricating your Tiantaicord extension cord reel makes sure that the reel functions properly, and help prevent jamming, which can strain the cord and other internal components. This simple maintenance step can help your extension cord reel last longer.
