IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
When using electric appliances, basic precautions
should always be followed, including the following:


Read all the instructions before using the appliance.

To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary
when an appliance is used near children.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not put light
cannon 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.

Use only the charger supplied by the manufacturer to
recharge.

Use battery only with charger listed. For use with 18 V
nickel-cadmium and 18 V lithium-ion battery packs, see
tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation supplement
988000-302.

Use only recommended battery pack. Any attempt to use
another battery pack will cause damage to your light cannon
and could possibly explode, cause a fire, or personal injury.

Remove battery pack from light cannon before
performing any routine maintenance or cleaning.

Do not disassemble the light cannon.

Do not place light cannon 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 light cannon or charger near flammable
liquids or in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Internal
sparks may ignite fumes.

Do not store your light cannon 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.

To reduce risk of damage to 12 Volt adaptor and cord, pull
by 12 Volt adaptor rather than cord when disconnecting
power cord.

Refer to the operator’s manual for the vehicle or
contact the vehicle manufacturer for the proper power
receptacle.
This product may not be suitable for being
powered through the cigarette lighter plug.

Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, come in contact with sharp edges or
moving parts or otherwise subjected to damage or
stress.
This will reduce the risk of accidental falls, which
could cause injury, and damage to the cord, which could
result in electric shock.

Do not permit children to use light cannon, lens, and
surrounding housing.

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 light cannon.

Don’t expose light cannon 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 light cannon in unexpected situations. Do not use on
a ladder or unstable support.
LIGHT CANNON USE AND CARE

This product is for household use only.

Store light cannon out of the reach of children and other
untrained persons. Flashlights are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.

Do not use or permit use of light cannon in bed or
sleeping bags.
This light cannon lens can melt fabric and
a burn injury could result.
SAFETY RULES FOR LIGHT CANNON


Always remove battery pack before storing the device.


Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery
leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your skin,
wash immediately with soap and water. If liquid gets in your
eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes,
then seek immediate medical attention.

Batteries 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. Failure to heed this warning can result
in serious personal injury.

Do not abuse cord. Never use the cord to carry the
light. Do not pull the light cord rather than the plug when
disconnecting from receptacle. Damage to the cord or light
could occur and create an electric shock hazard. Replace
damaged cords immediately.

Save these instructions.
Refer to them frequently and use
them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan
someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
