GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Fail-
ure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
WARNING!
When using electric appliances, basic precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
 Read all the instructions before using the appliance.
 To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is
necessary when an appliance is used near children.
 Do not use outdoors.
 To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not put
flashlight or charger in water or other liquid. Do not
place or store appliance where it can fall or be pulled into
a tub or sink.
 Use only the charger supplied by the manufacturer to
recharge.
 Use battery only with charger listed. For use with
18V nickel-cadmium and 18V lithium-ion battery packs,
see tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation
supplement 987000-432.
 Use only recommended battery pack. 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 replacing
bulb or performing any routine maintenance or
cleaning. Replace bulb with same type rated 18 V,
0.6 Amp.
 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
 This product is for household use only.
 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 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.
 Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not
use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped
or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject
to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately. Failure to heed this warning can
result in serious personal injury.
