SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
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.
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.
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.
Do not charge battery pack in a damp or wet loca-
tion. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electrical
shock.
Your battery worklight 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.
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 sub-
ject to explosion. Properly dispose of a damaged battery
pack immediately. Failure to heed this warning can result
in serious personal injury.
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.
Remove battery pack from worklight before replac-
ing bulb or performing any routine maintenance or
cleaning.
Do not disassemble your worklight.
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.
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common
sense. Do not rush.
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.
Check damaged parts. Before further use of this work-
light, a part that is damaged should be carefully checked
to determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Do not use worklight if it does not
function properly.
