IMPORTANT
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions.
Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings
and instructions for future reference.
WORK AREA
SAFETY
•To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is nec-
essary
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 expose to rain. Store indoors.
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.
Unmodified 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.
•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.
Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
•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.
• When operating a light outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a light in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply.
Use of an GFCI reduces the risk
of electric shock.
PERSONAL
SAFETY
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
•
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support.
Loose Stable footing on a solid surface enables
better control of the light in unexpected situations.
• Do not stare at the operating light source.
•
To reduce the risk of fire or burns, keep hands
and combustible materials away from lens.
Lens
may become hot after extended use.
•Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to bat
-
tery pack, picking up or carrying the appliance.
Carrying the appliance with your finger on the switch
or energizing appliance that have the switch on
invites accidents.
BATTERY TOOL
USE AND CARE
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
•
Use light only with specifically designated battery
packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
•
Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance
before making any adjustments, changing acces
-
sories, or storing appliance.
Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance
accidentally.
•
When battery pack 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 burns or a fire.
•
Do not short circuit.
A short-circuited battery
pack may cause fire, personal injury, and product
damage. A battery pack will short circuit if a metal
object makes a connection between the positive and
negative contacts on the battery pack. Do not place
a battery pack near anything that may cause a short
circuit, such as coins, keys or nails in your pocket.
•
Do not allow fluids to flow into battery pack.
Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater,
certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach
•
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acciden
-
tally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
•
Do not use a battery pack or tool
that is dam-
aged or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
•
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or tem
-
perature above 265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.
•
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions.
Charging im-
properly or at temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
CHARGER USE
AND CARE
• Caution - To reduce the risk of injury, charge
MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion packs only in their
MILWAUKEE Lithium-Ion charger.
Other types
of batteries may burst causing personal injury and
damage. Do not wire a battery pack to a power
