IMPORTANT SAFETY
WARNING
INSTRUCTIONS
Read all safety warnings and all
warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, re and/or serious injury. Save all warnings
and instructions for future reference.
instructions. Failure to follow the
WORK AREA SAFETY
• To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is
necessary when an appliance is used near children.
• Store idle light out of reach of children. Warm
lights can become hazardous in the hands of children.
• Do not use outdoors.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Power cord plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and match-
ing outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not put light
in water or other liquid. Do not place or store appli-
ance where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts.
• Arrange cords carefully to avoid hazardous
environments. Tripping or snagging on cords can
cause injury and product damage. Do not allow
cords to run through puddles or across wet ground.
• Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug,
grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Unplug the cord from outlet when not in use and
before servicing or cleaning.
• Always use a suitable extension cord to reduce
the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a light in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk
of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
light in unexpected situations.
• Do not use on a ladder or unstable support.
Stable footing on a solid surface enables better
control of the light in unexpected situations.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
• 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.
• Use light only with specically designated bat-
tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and re.
• When 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.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid con-
tacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modied. Damaged or modied batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in re,
explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or
excessive temperature. Exposure to re or tem-
perature above 265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specied in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside
the specied range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of re.
SERVICE
• Have your light serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the light is maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
• Warning - The lens may get hot during use. To
reduce the risk of burns, do not touch hot lens.
• Always use common sense and be cautious when
using tools. It is not possible to anticipate every
situation that could result in a dangerous outcome.
Do not use this tool if you do not understand these
operating instructions or you feel the work is beyond
your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or a trained
professional for additional information or training.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free
replacement.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Grounded tools require a three wire extension
cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two
or three wire extension cord. As the distance from
the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier
gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with
inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in
voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool
damage. Refer to the table shown to determine the
required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater
the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge
cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord.
When using more than one extension cord to make
up the total length, be sure each cord contains at
least the minimum wire size required. If you are using
one extension cord for more than one tool, add the
nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine
the required minimum wire size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in
good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a qualied
person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

Double Insulated Tools (Two-Prong Plugs)
Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require
grounding. They have a special double insulation
system which satises OSHA requirements and
complies with the applicable standards
of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the
Canadian Standard Association and
the National Electrical Code. Double
Insulated tools may be used in either
of the 120 volt outlets shown in Figures
A and B.

MAINTENANCE
To reduce the risk of injury, always
battery pack from the charger before performing
any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool,
battery pack or charger. Contact a MILWAUKEE
service facility for ALL repairs.
Keep your light, battery pack and charger in good
repair by adopting a regular maintenance program.
If the light does not work properly, return the light to
a MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.
If the head or extensions will not hold their position,
the screws may need to be tightened. Tighten the
bracket screws by holding the head. Tighten the ex-
tension latches by opening the latches and tightening
the screw inside.
unplug the charger and remove the
Maintaining Light
Tightening
To reduce the risk of personal injury and damage, never immerse
your tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or
allow a liquid to ow inside them.
Clean dust and debris from any vents. Keep handles
clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild
soap and a damp cloth to clean, since certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and
other insulated parts. Do not use sprays or solvents.
Some of these include gasoline, turpentine, lacquer
thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia and household detergents containing am-
monia. Never use ammable or combustible solvents
around tools.
