INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing the (VEC142) Vector Corded, Cordless and
Rechargeable High Intensity 12 Volt DC WorkLight. On the job or around the house,
this work light provides ample light to whatever project you may tackle. It is easy to
adjust the light angle and comes with a clamp and hook that allow for positioning the
light for hands-free operation. It uses a powerful, proven-technology, rechargeable, non-
spillable, sealed, 12 volt lead acid battery that provides for years of dependable use,
recharge after recharge. The VEC142 is versatile, practical and the perfect choice for:
travel, camping, picnicking, tailgate parties and boating. This work light gives you the
kind of light you need, when and where you need it.
The WorkLight includes one 12 volt DC and one 110/120 volt AC adapter. This permits
recharge flexibility for use around home, business or in the field. 12 volt DC power is
available from most vehicles, boats, jump starters and portable battery packs. Vector
has a variety of portable power products that would make ideal companions.

OPERATION
A two-position “on/off” switch controls the operation of the WorkLight. The WorkLight
can be continuously lit for up to 25 minutes on a full battery charge. Never operate the
WorkLight during AC charging. FIGURE 1 shows the adjustable angle range of the
WorkLight. FIGURE 2 rearview, shows WorkLight/on/off switch, 12 volt DC socket,
battery charging LED, light angle adjusting thumb screw and the clamp and hook
accessory.
The WorkLight head can swivel 180 degrees, up and down, to accommodate most any
job lighting situation. To release the swivel head from a locked position, simply rotate
the thumbscrew counter-clockwise to loosen. Then position the swivel head in the
desired position and tighten the thumbscrew to hold in place. An additional benefit of
the WorkLight is the utility value of the clamp and hook accessory. Utilizing this
accessory provides many mounting (positioning) options that can allow for hands-free
operation.
