IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Read all safety warn-
ings and all instruc-
tions.
Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings
and instructions for future reference.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is
necessary
when an appliance is used near children.
• Store idle light out of reach of children.
Warm
lights can become hazardous in the hands of children.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Power cord plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. This product has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in
a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician.
Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
•
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Suitable for damp locations. Store indoors.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not put light
in water or other liquid.
Do not place or store appli-
ance where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
•
Secure wiring cover and hanging cable before use.
•
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
• Keep cords dry and off the ground. Arrange
cords carefully to avoid hazardous environ-
ments.
Tripping or snagging on cords can cause
injury and product damage. Do not allow cords to
run through puddles or across wet ground.
•
Do not unplug by pulling on the cord.
To unplug,
grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Unplug the cord from outlet when not in use and
before servicing or cleaning.
•
Always use a suitable extension cord to reduce
the risk of electric shock.
• Connect to a properly grounded outlet. If oper-
ating a light in a damp location is unavoidable,
use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply.
Use of an GFCI reduces the risk
of electric shock.
• A maximum of three 10 AWG through branch
circuit conductors suitable for 60°C permitted
in box. Suitable for Types NM and MC cable only.
• Always install light in accordance with local and
national codes.
•
CAUTION
Do not use in hazardous locations
as required by the Canadian
Electrical Code Part 2.
PERSONAL SAFETY
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal
-
ance at all times.
This enables better control of the
light in unexpected situations.
•
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support.
Stable footing on a solid surface enables better
control of the light in unexpected situations.
SERVICE
• Have your light serviced by a qualified repair per
-
son using only identical replacement parts.
This
will ensure that the safety of the light is maintained.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
• Always use common sense and be cautious
when using tools.
It is not possible to anticipate
every situation that could result in a dangerous out-
come. Do not use this tool if you do not understand
these operating instructions or you feel the work is
beyond your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or
a trained professional for additional information or
training.
•
Maintain labels and nameplates.
These carry im-
portant information. If unreadable or missing, contact
a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.
EXTENSION CORDS
Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord.
Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire
extension cord. As the distance from the supply outlet
increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension
cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized
wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss
of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table
shown to determine the required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater
the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord
can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. When
using more than one extension cord to make up the
total length, be sure each cord contains at least the
minimum wire size required. If you are using one exten
-
sion cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate
amperes and use the sum to determine the required
minimum wire size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in
good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified
person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
• When stringing lights together, consider the total
Amperes draw when selecting the extension cords.
