IMPORTANT SAFETY

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.

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 hazcardous in the hands of chil-

dren.

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. This product has a polarized plug (one

blade is wider than the other). This plug will t

in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug

does not t fully, reverse the plug. If it still does
not t, contact a qualied electrician. Unmodied

plugs and matching 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.

• Suitable for damp locations. Store indoors.

• 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.

• Secure wiring cover and hanging cable before use.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car-

rying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk

of electric shock.

• Keep cords dry and o󰀨 the ground. 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.

• Connect to a properly grounded outlet. If operat

-

ing a light in a damp location is unavoidable, use

a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected
supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of electric

shock.

• A maximum of three 10 AWG through branch
circuit conductors suitable for 60°C permitted in
box. Suitable for Types NM and MC cable only.

•

Always install light in accordance with local and
national codes.

•

CAUTION

Do not use in hazardous locations

as required by the Canadian

Electrical Code Part 2.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• 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.

SERVICE

• Have your light serviced by a qualied repair per­son using only identical replacement parts. This

will ensure that the safety of the light is maintained.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

•Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry im-

portant 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 exten

­sion 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 qualied person
before using it.

• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,

excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

• When stringing lights together, consider the total

Amperes draw when selecting the extension cords.

GROUNDING

DANGER

Improperly connecting the ground­ing wire can result in the risk of

electric shock. Check with a qualied electrician if
you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is prop-

erly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided
with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong
from the plug. Do not use the tool if the cord or

plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a
MILWAUKEE service facility before use. If the plug
will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualied electrician.

Double Insulated Tools (Two-Prong Plugs)

Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require ground-

ing. They have a special double insulation system which
satises OSHA requirements and complies with the

applicable standards of Underwriters

Fig. B

Fig. C

Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Stan­dard Association and the National Elec-

trical Code. Double Insulated tools may
be used in either of the 120 volt outlets
shown in Figures B and C.

OPERATION

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, do not
look directly into the light when the

light is on.

Using the Light

Use the hanging cable to secure the light in an

overhead position. To use, feed the cable into the
cable clamp. Pull the free end of the cable to tighten.

Ensure the cable is fully seated in the cable clamp

before use.
To turn the light on or o󰀨, plug into AC power.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, always

unplug the tool before performing

any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool.

Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL
repairs.

Maintain Light

Keep your light 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.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of personal in­jury, electric shock and damage,

never immerse your tool in liquid or allow a liquid
to ow inside it.

Cleaning

Clean dust and debris from 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. Some of these include gasoline,

turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated
cleaning solvents, ammonia and household deter-

gents containing ammonia. Never use ammable or
combustible solvents around tools.

ACCESSORIES

WARNING

Use only recommended accesso-

ries. Others may be hazardous.
