such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases,
or dust.

or a separate battery pack must be recharged only
with the specified charger for the battery. A charger
that may be suitable for one type of battery may create

WORKLIGHT USE AND CARE
n When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws, or other small metal objects that can make
a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting
the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns,
or a fire.
SERVICE
n Worklight service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
n When servicing a worklight, use only identical replace-
ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a
risk of shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
n Know your worklight. Read operator’s manual care-
fully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as
the specific potential hazards related to this worklight.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious injury.
n Lens and bulb become hot during use:
� • During or immediately after use, don’t lay worklight
flat on lens surface or place lens area in contact with
a plastic or fabric covered surface.
• Handle worklight with care around any flammable
surface.
• Let worklight cool for several minutes after use before
changing bulb.
• Do not use or permit use of worklight in bed or sleeping
bags. This worklight lens can melt fabric and a burn
injury could result.
n Use only the charger recommended for use with your
worklight. Do not substitute any other charger. Use of
another charger could cause batteries to explode causing
possible serious injury.
n Do not charge battery pack in a damp or wet loca-
tion. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electrical
shock.
n Your battery worklight should be charged in a location
where the temperature is more than 50°F but less than
100°F.
n Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact
with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water,
then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets
in your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10
minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.
n Batteries vent hydrogen gas and 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.
n Never use a battery pack that has been damaged or
received a sharp blow. A damaged battery pack is sub-
ject to explosion. Properly dispose of a damaged battery
pack immediately. Failure to heed this warning can result
in serious personal injury.
n Use only recommended battery pack with your work-
light. Any attempt to use another battery pack will cause
damage to your worklight and could possibly explode,
cause a fire, or personal injury.
n Remove battery pack from worklight before replac-
ing bulb or performing any routine maintenance or
cleaning.
n Do not disassemble your worklight.
