INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO RISK OF
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO
PERSONS
When using electric
appliances, basic precautions should
always be followed, including the
following:
Read all of the instructions before using
the appliance.
1. To reduce the risk of injury, close
supervision is necessary when an
appliance is used near children.
2. Only use attachments recommended
or sold by the manufacturer.
3. Do not use outdoors.
4. For a portable appliance – To reduce
the risk of electric shock, do not put
Flashlight and Battery Pack in water or
other liquid. Do not place or store the
appliance where it can fall or be pulled
into a tub or sink.
5. The lens gets very hot during use. To
reduce the risk of burns, do not touch
the lens while it is hot. To reduce the
risk of re, keep away from combustible
materials while in operation.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Read all safety
warnings and instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, re and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.
The term power tool in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs
and matching outlets will reduce the risk of
electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep the cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a groundfault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected
supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Recharge only with the charger
specied by the manufacturer. A charger
that is suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of re when used with
another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
re.
WARNING:
WARNING:
Page 6
Page 5
3. When the battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal objects,
like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects that
can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a
re.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, ush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, also seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
SERVICE
1. Have your power tool serviced by a
qualied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
CORDLESS WORKLIGHT
1. Do not operate the tool or charger
near ammable liquids or in gaseous or
explosive atmospheres. Internal sparks
may ignite fumes.
2. The light lens becomes hot during use:
During or immediately after use, don’t lay
the tool at on the light lens surface or
place the lens area onto a plastic or
fabric covered surface.
• Handle the tool with care around any
ammable surface.
• Do not use or permit use of the tool in
bed or sleeping bags. This tool lens can
melt fabric and a burn injury could result.
3. Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-
based products, etc., come in contact with
plastic parts. They contain chemicals that
can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
4. DO NOT stare directly at the light or
project the light directly into the eyes of
others near by.

always in operating condition. Be aware
of possible hazards when not using your
battery tool or when changing accessories.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, re or serious personal injury.
8. Do not stare directly into the worklight.
Avoid direct eye contact; never project the
worklight into others’ eyes. Failure to do so
will lead to serious personal injury.
9. Remove the battery pack from the worklight
before performing any maintenance or cleaning.
10. Do not disassemble the worklight.
11. Do not place the worklight or battery
pack near re or heat. They may explode.
12. Do not operate the worklight or the
charger near ammable liquids or in a
gaseous or explosive environment. Internal
sparks may ignite fumes.
13. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do
not put the worklight, battery or charger in
water or other liquid. Do not place or store
the product where it can fall or be pulled into
a tub or sink.

SAFETY RULES FOR CHARGER
WARNING:
Read and understand
all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, re, and/or serious
personal injury.
1. Before using the battery charger, read
all instructions and cautionary markings
in this manual and on the battery charger,
the battery, and the product using the
battery to prevent misuse of the products
and possible injury or damage.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of
electric shock or damage to the charger
and battery, charge only these
rechargeable batteries specically
designated on your charger’s label. Other
types of batteries may burst, causing
personal injury or damage.
2. Do not use the charger outdoors or
expose it to wet or damp conditions. Water
entering the charger will increase the risk
of electric shock.
3. Use of an attachment not
recommended or sold by the batterycharger manufacturer may result in a risk
of re, electric shock or personal injury.
4. Do not abuse the cord or charger. Never
use the cord to carry the charger. Do not
pull the charger cord to disconnect the
plug from a receptacle. Damage to the cord
or charger could occur and create an
electric shock hazard. Replace damaged
cords immediately.
5. Make sure that the cord is located
so that it will not be stepped on, tripped
over, come in contact with sharp edges
or moving parts, or otherwise subjected
to damage or stress. This will reduce
the risk of accidental falls, which could
cause injury and damage to the cord,
which could then result in electric shock.
6. Keep the cord and charger from heat
to prevent damage to the housing or
internal parts.
7. Do not allow gasoline, oils, petroleumbased products, etc. to come in contact
with plastic parts. These materials contain
chemicals that can damage, weaken, or
destroy plastic.
8. An extension cord should not be used
unless absolutely necessary. Use of an
improper extension cord could result in a
risk of re and electric shock.
If an extension cord must be used, make
sure that:
• The pins on plug of extension cord are
the same number, size and shape as
those of the plug on charger.
• The cord is properly wired and in good
electrical condition.
• The size is large enough for AC ampere
rating of charger as specied below:
The Cord Length
(Feet)
25’ 50’ 100’
Cord Size (AWG) 16 16 16
NOTICE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
9. Do not operate the charger with a
damaged cord or plug, which could cause
shorting and electric shock. If damaged,
have the charger repaired or replaced by
a qualied service technician.
