RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)

SAFETY RULES FOR WORKLIGHTS

A WARNING:

Do not operate worklight or charger

near flammable liquids or in gaseous or

explosive atmospheres. Internal sparks may

ignite fumes.

A WARNING:

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES FOR BATTERY

TOOLS

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.

Your battery tool should be charged in a location
where the temperature is more than 50°F but

less than 100°F.

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.

A WARNING:

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 immedi­
ately.

A WARNING:

Never use a battery pack that has

been damaged or received a sharp blow. A
damaged battery pack is subject to explosion.
Properly dispose of a damaged battery pack
immediately. Failure to heed this warning can
result in serious personal injury.

WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL

CRAFTSMAN REPLACEMENT PARTS.

I To reduce the risk of damage to charger body

and cord, pull by charger plug rather than cord

blow, been dropped, or othenwise damaged in
any way; take it to a qualified serviceman.

Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified
serviceman when service or repair is required.

Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of

electric shock or fire.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug
charger from outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will
