Notes on Charging
Charge after each significant use. Do not store unit for long periods of time with battery in uncharged
condition as damage to battery could result.
This product contains an internal Nickel-Metal Hydride battery pack and must be recharged every
30-45 days to ensure optimum performance.
If you have followed charging instructions as described above and experience unsatisfactory
performance, consult the troubleshooting guide.
DC Charging Adapter
The DC Charging Adapter is not intended as a primary charging source. Since charging times can
be significantly longer, it is recommended that the DC Charging Adapter be used only when there
is no AC power source available.
1.) Set light on stable surface. Plug adapter into charging jack on base of worklight.
2.) Plug DC adapter into vehicle lighter/12 VDC accessory socket. Locate charging indicator LED
(Fig. 2). When adapter is properly plugged into charging jack and 12 VDC accessory
outlet, charging indicator LED will glow red. To prevent overheating, do not charge for more
than 8 hours.
3.) When indicator LED glows green, unit is fully charged. Disconnect DC adapter from 12 VDC outlet,
then from worklight.
DC charging adapter can be used in almost any vehicle or portable DC power station by plugging into
lighter/12 VDC accessory power socket. Consult vehicle or power station owner’s manual for more
information on operating 12 VDC accessories. Do not drive vehicle while charging worklight. Unsecured
worklight may move suddenly around passenger compartment becoming a hazard during certain
driving maneuvers.
Do not allow charging adapter to come in contact with water, rain, or snow. Store in dry location only.
If charging adapter does come in contact with water, place in a dry location at room temperature on
a soft, absorbent towel and allow to thoroughly dry. If it becomes submerged in water, discontinue
use. Contact Michigan Industrial Tools or your local retailer for a replacement charging adapter.
Use only the DC Charging Adapter supplied with worklight. Attempting to charge worklight with an
adapter that is not compatible could result in fire, damage to worklight, or personal injury.
DC Charging Safety Precautions

3 hours (Fig.3).
Using the Worklight:
Two Operating Modes
Do not allow charging adapter to come in contact with water, rain, or snow. Store in dry location only. If
charging adapter does come in contact with water, place in a dry location at room temperature on a soft,
absorbent towel and allow to thoroughly dry. Do not operate until it is completely free of moisture. If it
becomes submerged in water, discontinue use immediately. Contact Michigan Industrial Tools or your
local retailer for a replacement charging adapter.
Store AC adapter so it will not be confused with similar adapters for other products. Use only the AC
Charging Adapter supplied with worklight to charge worklight. Attempting to charge worklight with an
adapter that is not compatible could result in fire, damage to worklight, or personal injury.
