READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
 Know your worklight. Read operator’s manual carefully.
Learn its applications and limitations as well as the

 Remove battery pack from worklight before replacing
bulb or performing any routine maintenance or
cleaning.
 Do not disassemble the worklight.
 Do not place worklight or battery pack near fire or
heat. They may explode. Also, do not dispose of a worn
out battery pack by incinerating. Do not incinerate the
battery, even if it is severely damaged or completely worn
out. The battery may explode in fire.
 Do not operate worklight or charger near flammable
liquids or in gaseous or explosive atmospheres.
Internal sparks may ignite fumes.
 Do not store your worklight in a damp or wet location.
Do not store in locations where the temperature is less
than 50°F or more than 100°F. Do not store in outside
sheds or in vehicles.
 Do not permit children to use worklight unsupervised.
It is not a toy. The temperature of the bulb will become
hot after being on for only a short period of time. This hot
temperature can cause burn injury if touched and can
create sufficient heat to melt some fabrics.
 If wrapped or in contact with fabrics, the worklight
lens can produce sufficient heat to melt some fabrics.
To avoid serious personal injury, never allow the worklight
lens to come in contact with anything.
 Keep light dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake
fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any strong
solvent to clean the worklight.
 Don’t expose worklight to rain. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock or
malfunction.
 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better
control of the worklight in unexpected situations. Do not
use on a ladder or unstable support.
WORKLIGHT USE AND CARE
 Store worklight out of the reach of children and other
untrained persons. Worklights are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
 Let worklight cool for several minutes after use before
changing the 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.
SAFETY RULES FOR BATTERY WORKLIGHTS
 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.
 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.
 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.
