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.
