IMPORTANT SAFETY
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. Unmodied 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 specied 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 specically 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 qualied 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.

6. Know your worklight. Read the operator’s manual carefully. Learn the applications and limitations, as well as the specic potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, re or serious injury.
7. Battery tools do not have to be plugged
into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are 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.
14. Do not store the worklight in a damp or
wet location.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
15. For best results, your battery tool should be charged in a location where the temperature is more that 32°F (0°C) but less that 104°F (40°C). Do not store outside
or in vehicles.
16. Do not permit children to use the
worklight; it is not a toy.

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 specically 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 specied 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 qualied service technician.
