INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING Read and understand all

instructions. When using electric appliances, basic

precautions should always be followed, including

the following:

• Before using, read this operator’s manual, your

battery pack and charger operator’s manual, and
all labels on the battery pack, charger and light.

Learn your light’s applications and limitations as well
as potential hazards associated with this type of tool.

• Read and understand all the instructions before

using the appliance.

• To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is

necessary when an appliance is used near children.

• Warning - The lens may get hot during use. To reduce

the risk of burns, do not touch hot lens.

• Store idle light out of reach of children. Warm lights

can become hazardous in the hands of children.

• Suitable for rain and wet locations. Store indoors.

• Batteries must be recharged only with the charger

specied by the manufacturer. A charger that may be

suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of re

when used with another battery.

• Use light only with specically designated battery

pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of re.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from

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 sparks, burns,

or a re.

• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry impor-

tant information. If unreadable or missing, contact a
MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.
