general safety:
It is the responsibility of the owner to make sure all personnel read
this manual prior to using the device. It is also the responsibility of
the device owner to keep this manual intact and in a convenient
location for all to see and read. If the manual or product labels
are lost or not legible, contact Matco Tools for replacements. If the
operator is not fluent in English, the product and safety instructions
shall be read and discussed with the operator in the operator's
native language by the purchaser/owner or his designee, making
sure that the operator comprehends its contents.
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire,
explosion and/or serious personal injury.
work Area safety:
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate lights in explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Lights
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating
a light. Distractions can cause you to lose control and
endanger others.
electrical safety:
4. A battery operated light with integral batteries or a separate
battery pack must be recharged only with the specified
charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for
one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery.
Personal safety:
5. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense
when operating a light. Do not use light while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain
long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
7. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or
"off" position before inserting battery charger. Carrying lights
with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery charger
into a light with the switch "on" invites accidents.
8. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Proper footing and balance enable better control of
the light in unexpected situations.
9. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be
used for appropriate conditions.
light use and care:
10. Disconnect battery charger from light or place the switch in
the locked or "off" position before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the light. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the light
accidentally.
11. Store idle lights out of reach of children and other untrained
persons. Lights are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
12. When light 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 sparks, burns, or a fire.
