Work area safety1.
Keep work area clean and well lit. a.
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
Do not operate the Worklight in b.
explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of ammable liquids,
gases or dust. Battery operated
tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders c.
away while operating the Worklight. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
Electrical safety2.
The AC/DC Adapter plug must a.
match the outlet. Never modify the
plug in any way. Do not use any
additional adapter plugs with the

Worklight. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
Avoid body contact with grounded b.
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
Do not expose the Worklight to c.
rain or wet conditions. Water enter-
ing the Worklight will increase the risk
of electric shock.
Do not abuse the AC/DC Adapter d.
Cord. Never use the Cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
AC/DC Adapter. Keep the Cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled Cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
Prevent unintentional starting. c.
Ensure the Power Switch (10) is
in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying battery operated tools
with your nger on the Power Switch
or energizing equipment that have
the Power Switch on invites accidents.
Do not overreach. Keep proper d.
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
Worklight in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose e.
clothing or jewelry. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
If operating the Worklight in a e.
damp location is unavoidable, use
a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of
a GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock.
Personal safety3.
Stay alert, watch what you are a.
doing and use common sense
when operating the Worklight. Do
not use the Worklight while you
are tired or under the inuence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating
the Worklight may result in serious
personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always b.
wear eye protection. Safety equip-
ment such as ANSI-approved safety
impact goggles will reduce personal
injuries.
Worklight use and care4.
Do not use the Worklight if the a.
Power Switch (10) does not turn it
on and off. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the Power Switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the AC/DC Adapter b.
Cord (or Cigarette Lighter Adapter
Cord) before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the Worklight. Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the equipment acci-
dentally.
Store idle battery powered equip-c.
ment out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the Worklight or these
instructions to operate the tool.
Battery powered tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
