IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings
and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fi re and/or
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.
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-
fi ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig-
erators.
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 car-
rying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts.
• Arrange cords carefully to avoid hazardous environ-
ments.
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.
• 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 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.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
• Recharge only with the charger specifi ed by the
manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fi re when used with
another battery pack.
• Use light only with specifi cally designated battery
packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fi re.
• 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 fi re.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact ac-
cidentally occurs, fl ush with water. If liquid con-
tacts 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 damaged or
modifi ed.
Damaged or modifi ed batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fi re, explosion or risk
of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fi re or ex-
cessive temperature.
Exposure to fi re or temperature
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 specifi ed in the instructions.
Charging improp-
erly or at temperatures outside the specifi ed range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fi re.
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 dam-
age. Do not wire a battery pack to a power supply plug
or car cigarette lighter. Batteries will be permanently
disabled or damaged.
• Charge only MILWAUKEE M18™ Lithium-Ion packs.
Other types of batteries may burst causing personal
injury or damage.
• Avoid dangerous environments.
Do not charge bat-
tery pack in rain, snow, damp or wet locations.
Do not
use battery pack or charger in the presence of explosive
atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or fl ammable materi-
als) because sparks may be generated when inserting
or removing battery pack, possibly causing fi re.
• Charge in a well ventilated area.
Do not block charger
vents. Keep them clear to allow proper ventilation. Do
not allow smoking or open fl ames near a charging bat-
tery pack. Vented gases may explode.
• Maintain charger cord.
When unplugging charger,
pull plug rather than cord to reduce the risk of damage
to the electrical plug and cord. Never carry charger by
its cord. Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Make sure cord will not be stepped on, tripped over
or subjected to damage or stress. Do not use charger
with damaged cord or plug. Have a damaged charger
replaced immediately.
• Use only recommeded attachments.
Use of an attach-
ment not recommended or sold by the battery charger
or battery pack manufacturer may result in a risk of fi re,
electric shock or personal injury.
• Unplug charger
when not in use. Remove battery packs
from unplugged chargers.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock,
always unplug
charger before cleaning or maintenance. Do not allow
water to fl ow into AC/DC plug. Use a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce shock hazards.
• Store your battery and charger
in a cool, dry place. Do
not store battery pack where temperatures may exceed
120°F (50°C) such as in direct sunlight, a vehicle or
metal building during the summer.
SERVICE
• Have your light serviced by a qualifi ed repair person
using only identical replacement parts.
This will
ensure that the safety of the light is maintained.
