Remove battery pack from worklight before replacing 
bulb  or  performing  any  routine  maintenance  or 
cleaning. 

  Do not disassemble the worklight. 

  Do not place worklight or battery pack near fire or 

heat.

 They may explode. Also, 

do not

 dispose of a worn 

out battery pack by incinerating. Do not incinerate the 
battery, even if it is severely damaged or completely worn 
out. The battery may explode in fire.

 

Do not operate worklight or charger near flammable 
liquids  or  in  gaseous  or  explosive  atmospheres. 

Internal sparks may ignite fumes.

   

To  reduce  the  risk  of  electric  shock,  do  not  put 

worklight, battery, or charger 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 store the worklight in a damp or wet location. 
Do not store in locations where the temperature is less 
than 50°F or more than 100°F.

 Do not store in outside 

sheds or in vehicles. 

 

Do not permit children to use worklight unsupervised.

 

It is not a toy. The temperature of the bulb will become 
hot after being on for only a short period of time. This hot 
temperature can cause burn injury if touched and can 
create sufficient heat to melt some fabrics. 

 

If wrapped or in contact with fabrics, the worklight 
lens can produce sufficient heat to melt some fabrics.

 

To avoid serious personal injury, never allow the worklight 
lens to come in contact with anything.

 

Keep light dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

 

Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake 
fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products or any strong 
solvent to clean the worklight.

 

Don’t  expose  worklight  to  rain. 

Water  entering  a 

power  tool  will  increase  the  risk  of  electric  shock  or 

malfunction.

 

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance 

at all times. 

Proper footing and balance enable better 

control of the worklight in unexpected situations. Do not 

use on a ladder or unstable support. 

WORKLIGHT USE AND CARE

 

Store worklight out of the reach of children and other 

untrained  persons. 

Worklights  are  dangerous  in  the 

hands of untrained users.

 

Let worklight cool for several minutes after use before 

changing the bulb.

 

 Do  not  use  or  permit  use  of  worklight  in  bed  or 

sleeping bags. 

This worklight lens can melt fabric and a 

burn injury could result.

SAFETY RULES FOR BATTERY WORKLIGHTS

 

Under  extreme  usage  or  temperature  conditions, 
battery leakage may occur.

 If liquid comes in contact 

with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water, 
then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets 
in your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 
minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.

 

Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the 
presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. 

To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use 
any cordless product in the presence of open flame. An 
exploded  battery  can  propel  debris  and  chemicals.  If 
exposed, flush with water immediately.

  

Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not 
use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped 
or received a sharp blow. 

A damaged battery is subject 

to explosion.  Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged 
battery immediately.
