
To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is
necessary when an appliance is used near children.

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.

For use with
18 V lithium-ion battery packs, see tool/appliance/battery
pack/charger correlation supplement 987000-432.

SAFETY RULES FOR AREA LIGHT

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
