CAUTION
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING Read all safety warnings
and all 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.
• 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.
• 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. Unmodi-
ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
faces, 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 appliance
where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carry-
ing, 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.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
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.
• 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 battery
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.

PERSONAL SAFETY
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
• 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 ex-
cessive temperature. Exposure to re or temperature
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 improp-
erly 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.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a
MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.

EXTENSION CORDS
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.

grounding. They have a special double insulation
system which satisfies 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

MAINTENANCE
WARNING To reduce the risk
of injury, always unplug the charger and remove
the battery pack from the charger or tool 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.
Maintaining Light
WARNING 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.
Keep tool handles clean, dry and free of oil or grease.
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool,
battery pack and charger since certain cleaning agents
and solvents are harmful to plastics and other insulated
parts. Some of these include gasoline, turpentine,
lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning
solvents, ammonia and household detergents contain-
ing ammonia. Never use ammable or combustible
solvents around tools.
