IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING Read all safety warnings
and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
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 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. Unmodi-
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 appliance
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.
•
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.

Always extend legs before raising the
poles.
Keep hands clear of housing when
collapsing the extension poles.
Read operator’s manual.
If operating a light in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of a RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130°C (265°F) may cause
explosion.
Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact a MILWAUKEE
®
service facility for a
replacement.
Do not stare at the operating light
source.

Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in
good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged
person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

ASSEMBLY
WARNING Recharge only with
charging instructions, read the operator’s manual
supplied with your charger and battery.
Inserting/Removing Battery Pack
Insert the battery pack by sliding battery pack into the
battery bay. Insert the battery pack until the battery
latches lock.
To remove the battery pack, press in both battery
latches and slide the battery pack out of the battery bay.
Inserting/Removing Extension Cord
To operate the light on AC power, extend and lock
legs. Plug a suitable extension cord into the AC
inlet
. To disconnect the extension cord, press the
switch
button to turn off the light, then remove the
cord from the inlet.
NOTE: When an extension cord is plugged into the
light, the light will automatically run on AC power.
WARNING To reduce the risk of
injury, do not look directly into the light when the
light is on.
To reduce the risk of injury, always fully extend and
lock legs into position before raising the poles.
Light may tip and cause injury.
To reduce the risk of injury, keep hands clear of
the housing area when collapsing the extension
poles. Head may descend rapidly, pinching hands

EXTENSION CORDS
Earthed tools require a three core extension
cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two
or three core extension cord. As the distance from
the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier
gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with
inadequately sized core 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 cable size.

The larger the size of the cable, the greater the
capacity of the cord. For example, a 1.00 mm
2
cable
can carry a higher current that the 0.75 mm
2
cable.
When using more than one extension cord to make
up the total length, be sure each cord contains the
same size cable. If you are using one extension
cord for more than one appliance, add the
nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine
the required minimum cable size.
Appliances marked “Double
Insulated” do not require earthing.
They have a special double insulation
system which satifies electrical
safety. Double Insulated appliances
may be used in either of the 220-240
volt outlets shown in Figure A and B.
