Fail-
ure 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 nec-
essary when an appliance is used near children.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not put light
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 this product only with batteries and chargers
listed in tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correla-
tion supplement 987000-432.

Use only recommended battery pack. Any attempt to
use another battery pack will cause damage to your light
and could possibly explode, cause a fire, or personal
injury.

Remove battery pack from light before performing
any routine maintenance or cleaning.

Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or
the battery pack (as applicable) except as indicated
in the instructions for use and care.

Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure
that the safety of the product is maintained.

Do not disassemble the light.

Do not place light 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 bat-
tery, even if it is severely damaged or completely worn
out. The battery may explode in fire.

Do not operate light or charger near flammable liq-
uids or in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Internal
sparks may ignite fumes.

Do not store your light 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 expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 265°F may cause explosion.

Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature
range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside of the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

Do not permit children to use light, lens, and surround-
ing 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.

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally oc-
curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.

Don’t expose light 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 in unexpected situations. Do not use
on a ladder or unstable support.

Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is dam-
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion
or risk of injury.
LIGHT USE AND CARE

This product is for household use only.

Store light out of the reach of children and other un-
trained persons. Flashlights are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.

Do not use or permit use of light in bed or sleeping
bags. This light lens can melt fabric and a burn injury
could result.
SAFETY RULES FOR LIGHT

Always remove battery pack before storing the device.


Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, bat-
tery 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.
